New Blog: Making predictions from a mixed model using R

I've covered mixed models a bunch in my blog. Today I go through extracting confidence intervals and prediction intervals, to go along with point estimate predictions.

@QJohnsonPhD @okstate Congrats

ESPN sources: three-time Pro-Bowl CB Devon Witherspoon and the Seahawks reached agreement on a four-year, $132 million extension and includes over $101 million guaranteed that now makes him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.

After six years in a marketing job, Nolan Teasley wrote letters to all 32 teams in 2013 asking for an opportunity to get back into football. He got one interview with the Seahawks and GM John Schneider, who hired him as an intern.

13 years later, Teasley is the Vikings’ new GM.

I believe Seattle's Becca Erenbaum is the first data/analytics NFL staffer to make the official draft call to a club's pick.

Pretty cool and good for Becca (and Seattle)
