EXPERT NOTES:
“To solve this inferential problem”. It’s only a problem in their heads, but no matter. Would not have stopped to read this without the ML primer.
However. A big however. With a better hook, it is actually interesting. That said, I stopped reading when they got into statistics – I need to look myself in the mirror. [and that is terrifying – numbers can be harsh]
So the headline “Leadership or luck? Randomization inference for leader effects in politics, business, and sports” with no picture is OK for a scientific journal.
But as a news article it needs to grab you so something like
“Leadership or Luck? Why the Patriots got 6 Super Bowl titles!?”
READ TIME: 15 Minutes
