Stats, ML, econ, and tech

@Bayesprof Ah interesting. Generally, are there any researchers or even specific works you could point to that illustrate "building" in stats? I'm an incoming phd student and just trying to understand the landscape

[Laz @invictusqed]

@roydanroy How do you feel about the future of statistics research? Statistical theory is arguably mostly math, but it is quite a distinct flavor

[Laz @invictusqed]

@visakanv @Thomasdelvasto_ Does that get gamed frequently?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@Dorialexander What made you say this? Coming from an incoming phd in stats, thinking of going the bayesian route but doubting its current relevance😅

[Laz @invictusqed]

@remilouf Great library! Do you keep up with the bayesian literature still, or strictly LLM space these days?

[Laz @invictusqed]

Not sure if all this progress of AI for math is bullish or bearish for my phd.. guess we'll find out

[Laz @invictusqed]

@PradyuPrasad It's not even hot right now lol?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@__paleologo @mean_field_zane Besides Black Scholes which i think does fit this description, are there any other models in economics/finance literature that you think are good examples of modeling? With so many economists with a physics background, you'd expect the modeling style to seep through more often

@mean_field_zane @AgustinLebron3 @macrocephalopod @FangYi11101 Oof yeah that'll set you back a small grant :')

[Laz @invictusqed]

@mean_field_zane @AgustinLebron3 @macrocephalopod @FangYi11101 Daily data is not that expensive from something like databento is it? Hourly or higher freq does get quite spenny tho

[Laz @invictusqed]

@felpix_ @aadarwal @rieszspieces You need real analysis for political science phds these days?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@avt_im @miniapeur Presumably this helps in ones career?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@johngfriedman what about a stats phd?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@macrocephalopod @mean_field_zane Are you saying academic finance does not have any value to you?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@shakoistsLog @mean_field_zane They're shitty fir prediction, but good for inference

[Laz @invictusqed]

@mean_field_zane Will the econ department be seeing this money?

[Laz @invictusqed]

@DimitrisPapail @ChenhaoTan How do you have it keep iterating then? Any task takes claude at most 30 minutes for me before it awaits a new prompt

[Laz @invictusqed]

@alz_zyd_ What are good examples of this? I like pugh's analysis textbook which has these great picture proofs (and a guide on how to visualize 4D lol)

@JDHamkins @ben_golub @jayvanbavel Verification is probably easier than generation
