  1. See the range of bids received! The engineer’s estimate was on the higher end, but still within range. Wait for the reveal of the lowest bidder! #construction #bids #engineer #estimate #lowestbidderhttps://www.tiktok.com/@619cvld/video/7561950284180688141?utm_campaign=tt4d_open_api&utm_source=awa6z07qoicg5jkx

    In other news, there's no tool quite like #Emacs #orgmode for gathering data from multiple sources in multiple formats and massaging it into an #estimate of effort for migrating a capability from one #vendor to another. #shamelessplug

    This week: What is a #regression? 🤔⬇️

    1️⃣ #Regression
    statistical method to describe the #relationship between at least 2 variables. It only establishes #correlation, not #causality. A regression yields an #estimate, not an exact #prediction.

    2️⃣ #Example
    the higher the temperature, the more #icecream is sold. So there is a positive and linear relationship between the two #variables. The difference between a point and the line is called the #residual.

    "A p-value is an #estimate of p(Data | Null Hypothesis). " – not correct. A p-value is an estimate of

    p(Data or other imagined data | Null Hypothesis)

    so not even just of the actual data you have. Which is why p-values depend on your stopping rule (and do not satisfy the "likelihood principle"). In this regard, see Jeffreys's quote below.

    Imagine you design an experiment this way: "I'll test 10 subjects, and in the meantime I apply for a grant. At the time the 10th subject is tested, I'll know my application's outcome. If the outcome is positive, I'll test 10 more subjects; if it isn't, I'll stop". Not an unrealistic situation.

    With this stopping rule, your p-value will depend on the probability that you get the grant. This is not a joke.

    "*What the use of P implies, therefore, is that a hypothesis that may be true may be rejected because it has not predicted observable results that have not occurred.* This seems a remarkable procedure. On the face of it the fact that such results have not occurred might more reasonably be taken as evidence for the law, not against it." – H. Jeffreys, "Theory of Probability" § VII.7.2 (emphasis in the original) <doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198503>.

  11. @paninid p-values, to a large extent, exist because calculating the posterior is computationally expensive. Not all fields use the .05 cutoff.

    A p-value is an #estimate of p(Data | Null Hypothesis). If the two #hypotheses are equally likely and they are mutually exclusive and they are closed over the #hypothesis space, then this is the same as p(Hypothesis | Data).

    Meaning, under certain assumption, the p-value does represent the actually probability of being wrong.

    However, given modern computers, there is no reason that #Bayesian odds-ratios can't completely replace their usage and avoid the many many problems with p-values.

  16. #Etsy gave the #buyer an estimated delivery date of 5 January.

    Despite the #holiday rush, when #packages are always slower, despite the #holidays when Canada Post and others are closed, they provided him an estimate right at the bottom end of that "official" #estimate.

    And then, the buyer will probably (rightly) be angry when it takes until February, because Etsy promised it on 5 January.

    And they don't provide a way to override the estimate they display.

    INSTEAD: Ask a developer "Have you got enough information about this to get started?" and their answer will be "yes" even when the requirement is vague.
