    A quick thought on "volatility" and why I believe Trump's odds of winning are higher than popularly assumedhttps://medium.com/@mtracey/volatility-and-why-trumps-odds-of-victory-are-higher-than-popularly-assumed-950acf00c3de#.klunpnnig …

        @mtracey @HeerJeet so is your theory that the polls will close as undecided/others come home, or just that there's a systemic blind spot?

        @LPDonovan @HeerJeet Probably some combination of the two

        3) More technically, when the variance of the probability is v. high it converges to 50%. Kapish? (metaprobability).

        @narenbalaji @mtracey Problem with this argument is that we know *why* 538's forecast swung that much. It wasn't random.

        @mtracey @narenbalaji He is basically saying that the model swung wildly from 55% to 20%, so its essentially meaningless.

        @rohitguptahpf @narenbalaji I'm not well-versed enough in probability/statistics to weigh in on whether what he's saying has credence

        @IWPCHI @mtracey how did he "insult" a nation by telling the facts. 80% of girls are raped WHILE crossing the border.

      1/@FiveThirtyEight : 55% "probability" for Trump then 20% 10 d later, not realizing their "probability" is too stochastic to be probability.

      @mtracey I can only hope. The Clintons have had a good, sound ass-paddling coming to them for nigh on 25 years.

      @mtracey I've actually thought this myself. He prob won't win but will do better than expected. It doesn't feel as neat & tidy as it appears
