Selection and aggregation of forecasts from an ensemble of models to produce a final forecast. Quantification of forecast uncertainty via simulation-based prediction intervals. Calendaring was therefore an explicit feature of models within our framework, and we made considerable investment in maintaining detailed regional calendars.

If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments. And sometimes even if it is not[1].)

For example, imagine a fantasy football site is considering displaying advanced player statistics. A ramp-up strategy may mitigate the risk of upsetting the site’s loyal users who perhaps have strong preferences for the current statistics that are shown. One reason to do ramp-up is to mitigate the risk of never before seen arms.

Editor's note : The relationship between reliability and validity are somewhat analogous to that between the notions of statistical uncertainty and representational uncertainty introduced in an earlier post. But for more complicated metrics like xRR, our preference is to bootstrap when measuring uncertainty.

SCOTT Time series data are everywhere, but time series modeling is a fairly specialized area within statistics and data science. This post describes the bsts software package, which makes it easy to fit some fairly sophisticated time series models with just a few lines of R code. by STEVEN L. Forecasting (e.g.

Integrity of statistical estimates based on Data. Having spent 18 years working in various parts of the Insurance industry, statistical estimates being part of the standard set of metrics is pretty familiar to me [7]. The thing with statistical estimates is that they are never a single figure but a range. million ± £0.5

Recall from my previous blog post that all financial models are at the mercy of the Trinity of Errors , namely: errors in model specifications, errors in model parameter estimates, and errors resulting from the failure of a model to adapt to structural changes in its environment.
