Quick check: do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Quick check: do you agree or disagree with the following statement: If a study finds a result significant at a p=0.05 level, that means they have followed a methodology which produces this conclusion correctly 95 % of the time.

I forgot to write a retrospective for the 2024 Q2 Quarterly Cup, because my approach to forecasting has become kind of boring: I only do it by gut feeling. No research, no analytics, not looking at the community prediction. This is not because my gut feeling is so great – it is because I have too many other things going on that I cannot take the time to forecast more accurately.

I have long struggled with understanding what probability-generating functions are and how to intuit them. There were two pieces of the puzzle missing for me, and we’ll go through both in this article.
