Built a predictive model looking at 4 factors from each state in the election: % of female voters, % of college educated voters, % of non-white voters, and % of 18-29 voters. Visual below shows feature importance of each factor in order of importance

Appreciate the efforts of so many during the campaign, especially Adam β€œHot Rabbi” Brody making it out to Philly suburbs. Awesome dude - just like his characters.

My posts will be primarily in these two domain areas (sports and politics), likely with an analytical emphasis! (2/2)

Two passion areas of mine are sports and politics. I’ve been fortunate to pursue sports analytics in a trifecta of teaching, research, and consulting. I’ve been a registered Democrat since 2016 and was active in my contributions to the Harris-Walz campaign (1/2).
