Abstract

Boko Haram is one of the deadliest terrorist groups in the world today. This chapter provides a quick overview of several major types of attacks carried out by Boko Haram since its inception. The chapter also describes the factors that are predictively linked to various types of attacks carried out over a future time window of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months. The chapter describes a set of policies that show promise of reducing violence by Boko Haram, together with a detailed analysis of one policy in particular.

Formally, \( F1=\frac{2\ast P\ast R}{P+R} \) where P,R are precision and recall, respectively. It is easy to verify that the number assumes a low value if either precision or recall is low, leading to a small F1-score. Thus, a high F1-score can only be obtained when both P and R are high.
