@eastmond_andrew Yup. In return, one too many of his players being treated like sh*t.

@backseatgaffer @Griffin_Author @RealSoccer16 @mollyhc @USClubSoccer @thekccurrent @CSM_Worldwide "His" prick behavior to youth players is well known in the Milwaukee community. Not optimistic that "his will be coming." Hope I am wrong.

@KabirCreates As a follow-up, I showed this parlor trick to my stats class. I am covering regression these past few weeks. Perfect timing to show this case and the associated ethical issues.

[Layth Alwan @Layth]

@KabirCreates You are spot on. Just smoke and mirrors with y and x variables to give a negative scatter to make the gullible think there is a red flag. At the core, he is assuming Trump should receive the same % of party voters as candidate voters. That is a red herring and false assumption.

@UChiPritzker CNN today mentions Scott Atlas as an alumus of uchicago med as do other media. Stanford Med wrote an open letter disavowing him. Will uchicago take a stance?

@octonion For n = 130 and approximately 95% CI and random sample, the margin of error will be no greater than 2*sqrt(.5*.5/130) = 0.088 or about 9%.

@spyrosmakrid Great ML/time series paper. I am making it required reading for my students. Statisicians need to do more studies like this. ML can have a role but folks accept it like a cult without studies like yours.

ML methods can't even beat out naive forcast. Statisticians need to do more studies like this to show at times the Emperor (ML) has no clothes. https://t.co/KfHbwOsMBp

The major finding is: ”The forecasting accuracy of ML forecasting methods is lower than the worst of statistical ones while the accuracy of more than half the ML methods is lower than a random walk”.

@PomsSociety Will there be a transcript of the debate?

@brianwilt @Jawbone Nice distribution plot of mean sleep times by University on jawbone blog. What is the mean and standard deviation of individual student observation? Curious how they compare with other studies, like Orzech.
