    Could an aggregate statistic (maybe proxied by age, disability rate and covid rate, and rurality vs urbanization) be used as a proxy for mail in votes as a predictor?

  • @ericthegreat7805
    @ericthegreat7805 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What about the possibility of doing a statistical test of polling efficiency, defined by a one sided t test on the sample size being 30 x 338? 30 is usually the minimum number for normal convergence of a data set, and a "historical reliability" for each polling company, how well they attempt to achieve parity between ridings. Then weigh them by their deviation from this statistic. For example, take W = mu - n*, where n* = 30 x 338, and mu as the sample size. Then W is t distributed. Then compute the statistic W/sigma_t, where sigma_t is variance by time and between ridings, with greater variances being penalized, as a measure of poll reliability, and as a weight for each poll.

    Thanks for posting this, quite helpful. If you have time, could you answer these questions for me? If you record a session, do the students get to see the session, or is it only for the moderator/prof? Second, when you upload a text file, how can you enlarge it on your screen? I can only get about 35% of a page to appear, framed by an excessively large sea of black background.
