A little fun with data. I love survival analysis and models and the time between goals represents the type of input to the model. I thought I would give a graphic representation of the time until goals are scored through seven games of this season and last.
Several people asked me to put up a graph for goals allowed to complement the goals scored graph I did before. In part this is due to the insane hockey following UND enjoys. Also, the recent stellar performance of the goalie with a crazy streak of minutes without allowing a goal begs the question of how this team is doing compared to others.
I was looking at some sports statistics these days and decided to look at the performance of UND hockey. Right now I am just looking at goals scored by UND, totaling it up across games in the season.
Let’s get this out of the way at the start: the information contained here is not a predictive model of the outcome of the election and it is nothing official from UND.

As far as the predictive aspects, there are too many moving parts and too little data to adequately model the outcome at this point. We can develop numerous rules and test them as outcomes, but at the end it will still be a subjective probability model.
People think stats is a boring topic in general, and I do not understand those people at all. Here is an example:
