There’s a bunch of guys that every cycle. They invent an overfitted model and brag about its post-dictive abilities and assume it must be predictive.
OK, Jon. Here's the deal.
If Biden wins, you can pummel some of us daily for 1 year, and we will type "you were right, Jon!" every day in response.If Trump wins, you buy that Vette and wear a MAGA hat for one week per month, with the Vette top down.
And, you have to drive to wherever Phibes lives, and listen to him on any subject for an hour.wrote on 19 Sept 2020, 00:40 last edited by@Rainman said in Trump jumps in Rasmussen Poll:

Yep. LOL
A friend once quit work to start a precious metals trading company. He had a model that was going to work and give great returns. I invested a small amount with him, knowing (and figuring) that I could lose it, but that was okay. After a couple of years, I got my exact amount of money back, but did not make any. He admitted that the model was constantly being updates to fit past history, but that was not enough to predict the future. LOL

There’s two candidates, the elections only happen once every 4 years.
There’s a shitload of prognosticators. If you have enough of them, a portion of them will have a perfect prediction record through sheer chance.
We see the patterns we want to see.

Trump had a 30% chance and won. A 30% chance is a very good chance.

Not too difficult when it's 50/50.

It’s not even that. It’s post-diction not pre-diction. They curve fit with full hindsight and choose coefficients and variables until all previous results are matched then pat themselves on the back for a model that “predicted” all previous elections.
