TrueBlue is going right? IKP?

Maybe I can get an old grumpy person who hates stats and will yell at panelists to be my +1?

 

Seriously though I am 80% sure I'm going, will know by Friday for sure (had another commitment I'm making sure I can reschedule).

One of my favourite hockey follows on Twitter will be there.

Since Dellow and Tulsky got hired by teams, I think she's pretty clearly the best stats blogger out there.

Her content and methodology are intense. On Twitter, she does a nice job of connecting #fancystats to a normal fan's enjoyment of, frustration with his/her favourite team.

 

All self-taught, too, IIRC.

Self-taught? You don't say. That would be the only way to learn something they're making up as they go, no?

Yea, it'd be impossible to have a formal education in statistics and apply those principles and methods to hockey analysis :rolleyes:

I meant self-taught.

 

IIRC, she's a law school grad who has a good grasp of how the game is played and also has a good mind for gathering and crunching numbers. She may have taken a stats class, but she's not a statistician per se.

 

Say what you will, her approach is intellectually rigorous and her conclusions are analytically defensible (and, I would say, sound and insightful).

Oooh, sounds like Kim P. has some competition in the Heart of Smell.

Hahaha - I thought about whether someone would say something when I first posted a shout-out for her attendance.

 

But, Kim can rest assured remain ill at ease; she's the only one for me.

I just signed up.  I really want to know more about analytics.  Seems like a perfectly reasonable way to spend a fall Saturday.

Jealous. I can't attend.

 

We could've met IRL, and hung out with fellow-lawyer Jen LC!

And WildCard wants to know if you'll get some GoogleGlass and stream it.

Just send smoke signals into the sky detailing it, I'll be in Rochester that night, I'll be able to read them from my brother's porch.

I have no idea how I'm going to be awake, functional, and in Rochester at 8am...but I'm registered.

You and Eleven are both making this difficult. I kinda want to go now. But I'm not sure I want to kill a WHOLE Saturday. 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
