Featured Research

The deeper, more rigorous pieces, as opposed to shorter notes. Each entry is added here by hand, not by a category tag alone, use the category filter above to narrow to a specific sport.

Note

This page lists specific posts explicitly rather than filtering by the Featured category tag automatically. Quarto’s listing categories option only renders a clickable filter widget, it doesn’t restrict the default view to a given tag, so a tag-based approach here would have kept showing every post site-wide by default. Adding a new post here means adding its path to this list.

Baseball
Featured
Academic Project
A GRAD 505 (Purdue, Foundations in Data Science) project on 2.87 million MLB pitches from 2015-2018: hypothesis tests, a regression, and an ANOVA, and the same lesson repeated three times, statistical significance is cheap at this scale, effect size is not.
