    Hey everyone, 

    This Wednesday, NOVA is debuting a new special on predictive models and forecasting. The title of the episode is Prediction by the Numbers. 

    Is anyone gonna watch?

    It was pretty good IMHO, giving an overview of frequentist, bayesian, and machine learning topics. It would be a good video to show in introductory courses. ASA could use it as well.

    Thanks for the link!

    This episode also shows how hard it is to teach Statistics,
    especially Bayes elements...

    What is your favorate elementary reference on this topic?
