The possibility of LeBron getting to Kareem's mark by game 49 has gone up. Currently, the most likely range is game 48 to 52, with 80% of the results falling in that range. We are 94% sure that LeBron gets there by game 52.
There are very small chances that LeBron's quest extends into games 55, 56, or 57. Similarly, a small set of simulations (<2 percent) point to games 44 and 45.
Taking Absences into account the spread is larger. So much so that if LeBron repeats patterns of missing games from the last 3 seasons, there is a 0.2% chance he does not break the record this season.
1/n In-match, win probabilities for the #IndVsPak world cup game yesterday. This was a nail-biter of a game with a huge swing in fortunes towards the end. The win probability forecaster (by @ESPNcricinfo) has some lessons in #ContinuousForecasting #metrics#agile
2/n The forecast is probabilistic, not deterministic. It always (except at the end..more on that in a bit) talks about the probability of an outcome, not "This shall happen". It is not a single - "Ind will win" or "Pak will win".
3/n How about your forecasts? Are they of the type - "I will get this done in 5 days" or "I have an 80% chance of getting this done in 5 days"
