Our results elucidate how estimation and prediction error depend on the complexity of the model, sample size, the extent of overlap, and correlation between matched and mismatched features. Joint work with Jae Ho Chang and @argMaxRusso
New preprint: We developed a method for heterogeneous transfer learning (TL) for high-dimensional regression that allows missing features in the target domain and theoretically studied the estimation and prediction error from the method. Thread ๐
statistical error guarantees, limiting their utility for scientific discovery. The method involves learning the relationship between the missing and observed features through a projection step in the proxy data and then solving a joint penalized regression in the target data.
@iamyesyouareno While also committing genocide, killing people, committing atrocities, plundering resources and causing famine.. and in the case of India turning the worldโs largest economy to one in poverty. The British invaded and won, that is fine, but there can be no claim of benevolence.
If they knew the exit polls were fake or exaggerated. The next day bank nifty went down 8%. Short expiration puts would have seen 2000%+ profits with that big a move. Should SEBI not investigate the possibility of market manipulation? @TheDeshBhakt@zoo_bear
With bank nifty having highly traded options. There was 1 trading day gap between exit polls and final results. It would be immensely profitable for some firms to pay for fake exit polls. Monday bank nifty went up 4%, allowing firms to buy cheap short expiration put options
My own (conspiracy?) theory on the possible market manipulation with fake exit polls in India. Background: The Indian market trades the most equities options in the world, more than even the US market. It is very profitable too as global trading firms made billions this year.1/2
4 hours into counting, and no one has a clue who will win - but the tough fight means people of India has clearly voted for democracy, for science, and for economic growth and against arrogance, misinformation, and jumlabaazi..at least we get a strong opposition. #Loksabha
RIP Jim Simons. He was a brilliant mathematician, a legendary investor, and an impactful philanthropist. The Medallion fund's 60%+ return for 30+ years will continue to stun investors, and he will be remembered for enabling scientific discoveries through the Simons Foundation.
