Our paper on #HMMs with periodically ⏰ varying transition probabilities is published! 🎉 @carlinafeldmann.bsky.social, Sina Mews, @rmichels.bsky.social @rolandlangrock.bsky.social doi.org/10.1214/25-AOAS2107 We derive the periodically #stationary distribution and the implied dwell-time distribution
Periodically stationary distribution (probability that the fly is active) as a function of the time of day.
True stationary distribution is compared to biased approximation, and we see a substantial difference.

Sachen gibt's: Wenn man die Skalierung der Achse ändert, ist auf einmal der Balken beim Linksextremismus länger.
Rechtsextremistisches Personenpotenzial. Grafik von Dobrindt: Liegt bei etwa 50.000Achse kleiner, dadurch bei Linksextremismus deutlich längere Balken

I wrote about the defining story of the Premier League season. How Liverpool lost one of the best coaches in the history of the sport -- and immediately got better: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Are Liverpool proof coaches don't matter? Or is Slot just better than Klopp?
Liverpool were supposed to struggle once Jurgen Klopp left. Instead, Arne Slot won the Premier League. Do coaches just not matter?

Diese Realitätsverweigerung bei gleichzeitiger Behauptung, man würde die Realität aber viel besser sehen, ist schon dreist.

In this year‘s NFL Big Data Bowl 🏈 submission, @rmichels.bsky.social, Robert Bajons, and I employ hidden Markov models to uncover 🔎guarding assignments and use this additional information to improve the prediction of defensive strategies. 📊 #bigdatabowl #rstats
