Dear Wizards,
I commend to your attention a blog post from 538 in which Nate Silver talks with the guy who leads the University of Washington health metrics modeling operation. I understood barely one word in five, but the chief difference between them seems to be on the degree to which they rely on priors or curve fitting. You folks will, I predict, know what that means. Don’t hesitate to explain it to me.
