  2. This is bad for business at 538 because it would cause the model to show less volatility, making it less exciting to watch and generating fewer page views.

  3. That will obviously reduce returns in the short term, but it increases the ergodicity () of the portfolio, making it more robust and less susceptible to blow up risk.

  4. You have to build in margin of error, favoring higher bias E.g. In investing, if you are trying to decide how much leverage to add to an investment portfolio, figure out the largest historical drawdown and double it (at least)

  5. The greatest vol always exists in the future so any purely historical analysis is clipping off the tails, creating blow up risk.

  6. Based on the assumptions you plug into the model, you can tradeoff between high bias and high variance. I would argue that 538 (and many other people making predictive models based on past data) bias too much towards high variance.

  7. Models with high variance are more tightly coupled with the training data. They are highly explanatory in-sample but may not generalize well on unseen data (i.e. great backtest, poor live results).

  8. Models with high BIAS tend to be simple and generalize well out of sample, but they may leave some explanatory power on the table i.e. middling backtest but live results are more likely to resemble simulated results.

  9. This chart from 538 actually shows one of the main problems with many types of predictive models. Your greatest volatility always exists in the future so any purely historical analysis is clipping off the tails. To quote , history is merely all the data we have so far

  10. “due to the Universe’s expansion and the presence of dark energy, 97% of the observable Universe is already unreachable, even if we left today at the speed of light.” If The Universe Is 13.8 Billion Years Old, How Can We See 46 Billion Light Years Away?

    The internet enabled the world to achieve all sorts of efficiency gains from increasing temporal asynchronicity (in comms, tv viewing, etc). But one of the costs has been a fracturing of our cultural synchronicity. We live in the great unbundling now.
