I’m sorry what, 75% called strike accuracy?! That’s unbelievably bad for any game, let alone the playoffs.

Utterly pathetic and unacceptable not to score in that situation. Win this game or not.

Yet more evidence against the highly questionable idea of silicon sampling.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds
Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings

Wait…you mean the inability of the Tigers to hit anything wasn’t automatically cured by the magic “It’s The Playoffs Now!” switch? Weird. 🙄

The central question is whether the weights are informative about the model parameters that you are trying to estimate.
Are Survey Weights Needed? A Review of Diagnostic Tests in Regression Analysis | Annual Reviews
Researchers apply sampling weights to take account of unequal sample selection probabilities and to frame coverage errors and nonresponses. If researchers do not weight when appropriate, they risk hav...

A few words on survey weights, why I'm embarrassed to have forgotten to take them into account in the past, and how I got lucky because I personally didn't get burned. Not a mistake I intend to repeat in the future

I gave a talk at ISR yesterday on declining response rates in surveys, and why we should not automatically assume that this means our survey estimates will be subject to nonresponse bias. Here is the recording for anyone interested! Thanks again to ISR Insights. 🙏

As good as the Lions were last night, the Tigers have been that bad or worse for a month straight. This team-wide collapse has been nothing short of astonishing.
