re: #275 The Vicious Babushka

He has a “statistical model” that “predicts” the results of all the elections in the past.

Hey I have a statistical model that predicts all the winning Powerball numbers up through last night!

I am no statistician and I suck at how one would even set up a prediction model.

So, I am guessing your mocking him means he has designed a model that relies on known info that is easy to say predicted the outcomes because it is after the fact.

If that is the case…he is basically saying that if he knew the same stats today (which he cannot) he can safely make a 97% correct decision that Trump will win. Or, something.

I admit, I haz confusion.

By the way…wasn’t member Obdicut (sp?) a real statistician? Damn…I miss his input. I do hope he is okay. Last mention of him wasn’t real good.
