#464My favourite football team was really at risk of relegation, then I created for me and my friends an MCMC bayesian simulator to estimate the relegation match by match. It was an opportunity to get used in real life to some concepts (MCMC, Metropolis-Hastings, etc) that I always struggled to understand. And my team got saved from relegation with an amounts of points very close to the number of points that my model for…
Tottenham?
Fiorentina, in Serie A.
