The Bayesian Conspiracy

155 – Normal Predictions, and Change is Bad


Listen Later

The Conspiracy comes out strongly in favor of switching to Normal Predictions, which is safe and easy when you use the Jan Christian Refsgaard method!

Also, we agree with Zvi that Change is Bad.

(Though note that changing to Normal Predictions has so many positives that it outweighs the Bad of Change, so don’t let that dissuade you in this instance.)
