The drumbeat for months, from Seattle school officials and outside experts, is that enrollment is going to drop so school closures are needed. But then it didn't. st.news/3Uhm0s8
Reading "Everything is Predictable," is interesting how some of the origins of probability came about by identifying "fair" ways to split a gambling pot part way through a game. Could be interesting to calculate in the context of a game of pick-up... applying pascals' triangle
1s and 2s full court is a scourge that must be defeated but if you think you "get it" yet are playing make-it-take-it by 2s and 3s, you are missing something.

Gave a lightning talk at @cascadiarconf on how prediction intervals are helpful both in informing intermediary agents and in setting the bounds within which you want those agents to operate : youtube.com/watch?v=jkxp987m… #rstats
When playing make-it-take-it pickup basketball the expected value of shots can be approximated as a geometric series: bryanshalloway.com/2024/08/2…
#rstats #sportsanalytics post on expected values under different possession and scoring systems in pickup basketball. One takeaway is that, once you leave "balanced" FG % conditions, shooting incentives in make-it-take-it can get out-of-whack pretty quickly.

When you work it out under these conditions, it turns out 1s and 2s likely offers more balanced incentives than 2s and 3s.
If you're curious why and what you should do with this information, I wrote a short blog post on the topic: bryanshalloway.com/2024/08/2…
When I play pickup basketball I like to go by 2s and 3s because it gives more similar expected values to a wider range of shots compared to the more commonly played 1s and 2s (where taking long range shots often becomes the dominant strategy).
Inconsistent rules are like plot holes in a movie, you get pulled out of the experience... and then, what's the point? Why play? (... yeah, yeah, time with friends / family, blah blah blah...). If I have a say in the rules, I like to choose rules that make for a balanced game.
I don't like the phrase "it's just a game." Yes, the stakes may be low but the zest of life comes from *getting into it.* I tend to be a stickler on rules because rules facilitate balanced games. I'm fine with house rules but be consistent.
Very good visual for understanding epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty (youtube.com/watch?v=Cla7b6UY…).
posit::conf is a highlight each year. I'm excited it's in Seattle for 2024. I'll be presenting on the first day, Tuesday 8/13, in the ML and Statistical Modeling session. My talk is on uncertainty in prediction (reg.conf.posit.co/flow/posit…). If you're around come say "Hi."

There are plenty of weaknesses and questions regarding the "Intermittent Fasting linked to 91% higher risk of heart death" study that was grabbing headlines in March...
but in this post I walk through problems with some of @nntaleb 's lines of criticism: bryanshalloway.com/2024/05/0…

@brshallo will be presenting his talk titled “Prediction Intervals in Tidymodels” where he will overview tidymodels ecosystem and different methods to produce prediction intervals. Check out his blog posts for a primer:
