Were I still in my PhD program, this would be interesting.

I've bought them, started before I found out about his community attitude. I can share a Google Drive folder with you. I'm reviewing to see how accurate he is. I'm being very very critical.

My grandfather fought fascists. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye if I didn't.

If I weren't already following you, is follow you for that.

D appears to be a the correct response

This sounds more scientifically valid than anything else I've heard.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope y'all are ok afterwards.

I can't imagine using that phrase in an academic paper, so I'm glad it's being called out.

If I were in the area, I'd gladly join. I'm working on a quarto document using R right now.

I'm interested in reading the papers as they come out.

I'm unable to answer that question for fear of reprisals

If you're interested in the website, it's drddatascience.com My blog is linked in there as well. I never thought to do a tutorial as to how I created it.

If it were me, I'd likely impute, then subset so I have the data needed.

The other idea I've been kicking around is updating my blog: drddatacience.com/blog talking about my dissertation. Many friends in the 911 community are interested, but the language is too academic and my data friends don't know as much about 911 centers and their data. Thoughts?

I would haunt anyone foolish enough to think of that for me.

I'd seen that post. I have a few issues with Valeriy and his blanket statements and his insistence that only Conformal Prediction is the right answer. I've thought about going through his books carefully to see what else lies in wait.

I hadn't seen that article. However, you delicately addressed my thoughts of him being "difficult" much better than I could. He had a post on LinkedIn over the weekend that declared that an arXiv preprint describing a new model would replace ARIMA. I said and believe that's too early to suggest.

I use it as a daily driver for my blog and my report building. Absolutely love it!

What do you do when you MUST forecast something with data that isn't amenable to forecasting? I work with really challenging data, so it's in the back of my mind when I'm reading books or papers. I think some of his opinion pieces are meant to stir the pot, so I'm playing along with my data.

22.09.2025 15:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I've read the first two chapters and it's not a bad read. If you follow him on LinkedIn or Medium, you'll note that he's convinced that anything other than Confirmation Prediction isn't good enough, but when he started discussing forecastability in chapter 2, I had some ideas....

Many ideas this weekend, should I propose a book idea covering Quarto and its many uses? Start up a project covering Manokhin's book, valeman.gumroad.com/l/MasteringM... and translate some of the code into R where I can? Thoughts from my data friends?

Been reading a new book on time series forecasting and I think I'm going to follow along with many of the techniques the author demonstrates because I've worked on some challenging data that I question how forecastable it is. Will make some posts about it in future

For all my new followers, I'll apologize in advance for being boring. However, I'll try to do better. If you're interested in what I'm thinking, here's my blog: drddatascience.com/blog. I write a lot about the intersection between 911 and data science. Check it out and comment!!

I can cite a recent case where that's true for me. I applied for a position 5 times and in the final attempt, they selected a different candidate. It was a blessing because I've been freed up to pursue my passion for data science in 9-1-1 centers. It really worked out that way for me.
