then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!
One of the best to ever do it

Big new blogpost!
My guide to data visualization, which includes a very long table of contents, tons of charts, and more.

Is it bad to be thinking about the draft after 10 Vikings games? Asking for a friend
🧵 Thread: I recently explored a few ideas to analyze a team's press in more detail 👇
1️⃣ Pressing triggers
▫️By focusing on the opponent's pass before a 1st pressing action in a sequence, it's possible to separate different triggers
👇 The graphic shows an example, with the 8 triggers that I defined
The mountains are calling and I must go
hockey :)
We can use xG to compute post-hoc win-draw-loss probabilities.
Our new blogpost shows MCMC's estimates of these probabilities are unstable, computing them exactly is faster than approximating them, and MCMC's runtime strongly depends on its implementation.

Research reveals a paradox: the more people understand AI, the more hesitant they may become to embrace it.

Spoiler alert: DK Metcalf displays straight-line, less agile movement, while George Pickens exhibits erratic, more variable directional movement.
I swear to god, if all those Panthers players coming onto the ice at the same time causes me data issues lmao
Good morning, some cool skeletal XG research just dropped by KTH and Tracab!

NEW with @simonkuper.bsky.social:
The prevailing narrative around increased injuries and player workload in elite football is wrong.
Players don’t play any more football than in the past. What has changed is a sharp rise in intensity of play.
Not more minutes, but each minute exerts more load.
“Tradition of success in Dallas” 🤨
I think Arsenal fans would disagree. Felt quite magical.
I’ve been using the new gradients and patterns in #rstats and #ggplot2 quite a bit for recent package, so here’s a deep dive! Everything from the basics of using gradients in your plots through to sophisticated visual effects.

These have both been great
Too many March Madness references for me to delay posting this any longer!
If you've ever wondered why you're bothering to talk about football without using dice to illustrate your point, boy do I have some thoughts for you
Stella Jean’s & An’s Dry Cleaning are two of my favorites here in SD
Justin Bailey turns on the JETS in the penalty shot⛽️😮💨
