Midnight's Children – Movie Review
Posted by FATEMA H.KAGALWALA on February 4, 2013 | No Comments
PRODUCER – David Hamilton
DIRECTOR – Deepa Mehta
WRITER – Salman Rushdie (Adapted from his book of the same name)
CAST – Satya Bhabha, Siddharth, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, Shahana Goswami, Ronit Roy, Anupam Kher, Rahul Bose, Soha Ali Khan, Seema Biswas, Khulbhushan Kharbanda
MUSIC – Nitin Sawhney
If you've read the book, you will know why it has been claimed to be unfilmable. When you watch the film, you will know the claim was hugely right. Despite that, we have Deepa Mehta embarking on this massively ambitious adaptation of Salman Rushdie's widely-acclaimed allegorical, lyrical and magic realist novel.
At the stroke of midnight on 14th August 1947, India won back its independence. Saleem Sinai (Satya Bhabha) was also born at this hour and exchanged with another child Shiva (Siddharth) by his nurse's misguided notions of love and social justice. Saleem has special powers of telecommunicating with all the children born at midnight and among them are Shiva and Parvati, the witch (Shriya Saran). He calls Midnight's Children's Conferences and only he has the power to do so. The book and the film is his story as it becomes an allegory of the hopes, dreams and special powers of a newly founded nation carried and wasted away.
The film unfolds at a languid pace, with Saleem's voice-over narration towering over what we watch unfolding. After delving into a large chunk of his ancestral history, the film introduces us to the grown-up Saleem and from then on reduces his journey into parts chunked-together with momentous history of the nation. The 1971 War, totalitarian the Emergency, the infamous slum 'cleansing' by Indira Gandhi all come in as milestones to depict the journey of a once-full-of-potential nation (and Saleem) into decrepitude.
Through this all, Rushdie and Mehta retain the lyricism of Rushdie's original voice, unfortunately making for a skewered experience. Such is the poeticism of his words and such is the over-wrought nature of the voice-over that no amount of visually romantic portrayal does justice or lives up to the sublime mood.
The film's intent ambitious, the outcome is jerky at best. Constantly wavering between magic realism and dull, almost documentary narrative, the film is weighed down by its own inefficiency to tie up the largesse of the novel's lofty ambitions and themes. Even a romantic encounter filmed on Ghaalib's 'Unke dekhese' then doesn't do the trick. Besides, there is the romantic, outsider gaze of India's grit and sullenness that calls out the game.
Where the film really scores is the surprising ensemble of cast it gathers to tell its tale. The presence of talents like Rajat Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, Shahana Goswami, Ronit Roy, Anupam Kher, Rahul Bose, Shriya Saran, Sarita Chaudhury, Siddharth, Soha Ali Khan, Seema Biswas, Khulbhushan Kharbanda lend a distinct gravity to the narrative.
Yet, the film hinges young trio of Satya Bhabha, Siddharth and Shriya Saran as the midnight's children and there simply isn't enough power in their performances. Satya Bhabha is easily outdone by Darsheel Safary who plays the younger Saleem with a lot of heart. Siddharth's innate vulnerability defies all his honest attempts at appearing rough, cold and heartless. Shriya Saran has a magical quality about her that lifts up her persona as a witch yet hers stays a limited performance.
Perhaps, it is the malaise of a hugely lyrical book and the troubles of visual representation that the narrative is stilted and episodic. Yet, there is an aplomb and visual fair that makes the film enchanting despite it all. That is if you haven't read the book.

Once you have decided to proceed with your application at the Highly Accomplished Teacher level, you will need to develop a cohesive body of evidence that supports your application.
The evidence you gather to support your application at Highly Accomplished Teacher level, needs to confirm that you are achieving all the Standard Descriptors at this level in the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
This evidence is made up of:
Applications considered strong and likely to succeed demonstrate:
Applications that are generally deemed weak are likely to show the following:
When preparing your documentary evidence you need to:
You are able to use evidence that may have been developed while you were working at different schools prior to starting your application
All evidence you provide will be considered by the Teacher Accreditation Authority (Highly Accomplished /Lead) or (TAA (A/L) on the basis of its continuing relevance to your practice. The information you forward about your school(s) provides a context for your evidence.
More information on Highly Accomplished Teacher accreditation evidence is available in the Evidence Guide for the Highly Accomplished Teacher Standards
Referee reports are provided by colleagues who can attest to your practice against the Standard Descriptors at Highly Accomplished Teacher. It is important that you consider the number of Standard Descriptors you allocate to your referees and the amount of time you allow them to complete their report.

First and Gold 25th Edition!I was given my first dog when I was 8. I've had 3 since then and I live in a family who all have at least one dog (my sister has 4!) Whenever I meet someone who "doesn't like dogs" I'm kind of shocked and I think "why NOT??"
But dogs are different things to different people and yes, to different cultures also. I'd venture to say that most animal abuse happens in low income to poverty stricken areas. Mean people beat their animals, starve them and tie them up without thinking twice. Is it bc of the way they were brought up? Maybe. Did they see someone else do it first? Probably.
I lived in Albuquerque for 7 years and was shocked by the amount of animal abuse that was reported almost on a weekly basis - mostly in poor neighborhoods.
But to answer your point: I don't really care what brought Vick to commit the crimes. He knew it was wrong and the utter gruesomeness with which they were carried out makes Michael Vick a dangerous person - even today.
That said, I believe everyone deserves a second chance. It's up to him now. And it won't be an easy road by any stretch. Just think of how far he has to crawl before he can begin to walk. He'll be followed by protesters for years, he'll pay fines, he's lost most of his fortune and still has millions left to pay back to the Falcons.
Now he absolutely deserves what he got. But at what point do you take your foot off the throat - even though he lacked the will to grant his victims the same...

Lady Godiva Goes NuTzThe problem was trying to show exactly how WILD the water was. Most of the time I was humming that stick out there and the wind was practically blowing it back in my face. Winds were ultra high. I don't think I could swim in that water. It's hard to show on these videos. I was being blow backward and the dog was casually jumping in. LOL
Posted 05-19-2009 at 02:14 PM by Halo
Lady Godiva Goes NuTzthats nice. man I miss my dog! The x has her and wont give her up. She suxs with animals too. grrrrr
If you guy want a road trip, go to the north shore. As you get of the bridge look to the left and you will seee a nice area of beach. Its in old golden shore. I use to take all my dogs over there as a kid. good place to let them run.
Enjoy, I am a jealous

The Denver Post reports today (click here) on a new Colorado governement effort to boost startups.
Here's the comment I just posted:
If formal planning and market research worked as well as the Small Business Administration, SCORE, SBDCs, and the academics their money and power have influenced think, we'd have a planned economy, not a market economy.
The big problem is that we have set up government programs to snuff out the entreprenurial spirit in America.
Local chambers of commerce, trade associations, and other ways business owners and entrepreneurs gather can do a lot of good. But the SBA/SCORE/SBDC cancer should be cut out, in my opinion.
Maybe a group like this can take a step back and see this very real problem.

Ht: 6-2 Wt: 250 40: 4.89 Pos: ILB
Bio: Starter at outside linebacker three of the last four seasons. Second on the team in tackles last season with 111, also posting 14.5 tackles for loss, two sacks with 1 interception. Junior totals were 61/7/3 after 57/9/2.5 in 1999 when he earned PAC 10 Freshman honors. Suffered a torn ACL prior to the 2000 season and saw limited action.
Positives: Relentless defender destined for special teams. Gives top effort, flies around the football and hard hitting. Quick reading or picking up his assignments, forceful moving up the field and strong at the point of attack.
Negatives: Best in a straight line, stiff and looks unathletic at times. Limited skills in pass coverage and can not quickly alter his angle of attack.
Analysis: Tenacity and aggressive style of play should endear him to a coaches heart and make him a special team's demon.

Chief IRS Counsel Got Jeremiah Wright's Church out of IRS Probe Before Joining Agency
So they target conservatives and protect liberals. Wow.
Check it out:
News reports from the time indicate the now-chief counsel of the IRS, William Wilkins, helped a church connected to President Barack Obama's friend Rev. Jeremiah Wright get out of an IRS probe in 2008 while working as a private attorney.
"Lawyers from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr have won the dismissal of an IRS case against United Church of Christ, Sen. Barack Obama's denomination," The American Lawyer's Zach Lowe wrote on May 22, 2008.
The IRS initiated an investigation early this year after a speech by Obama at a 50th anniversary celebration of the church last June. It was a reference by Obama to his presidential candidacy in a talk otherwise focused on faith that caught the agency's attention. Tax laws prohibit non-profits–including churches–from engaging in political speech or promoting candidates. The IRS can withdraw an organization's tax-free status if the organization is found to violate the rule.
Lowe noted that Obama had been a "member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago–a UCC congregation–for more than 20 years. The church has been in the headlines for several months now as the congregation lead by the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright."

The singer and pianist Steve Ross deserves points for bravery, if for nothing else, in his newest cabaret show, ''Love and Laughter: The Sequel.'' This ultra-debonair performer who has made his name celebrating Cole Porter, Noel Coward and Fred Astaire has turned his attention to the brassier work of John Kander and Fred Ebb in a show that runs through Dec. 2 at the Firebird Cafe (363 West 46th Street, Clinton). But the chemistry between the performer and the material just isn't here.
In contrast with the impish wit of Porter and Coward, whom Mr. Ross infuses with the effervescence of a garrulous extra man at a 1950's Park Avenue soiree, the songs of Kander and Ebb are raw-boned, sequin-encrusted show tunes. Many of the uptempo numbers imply high-kicking chorus lines and brassy me-first voices socking out a vision of the world as a tough but wonderful place where only the pushiest survive.
The team's ballads tend to be unabashedly schmaltzy reflective pauses in this glittering rat race. If tears are shed, they're quickly forgotten once that old bump-and-grind beat starts pumping again.
Mr. Ross's attempts to gentle these show tunes, instead of silhouetting their sturdy quadriceps and hamstrings, illustrate their rough edges. If the singer's dry, almost apologetic voice and mild-mannered cocktail pianism conjure a mood of lighthearted merriment, they never go more than halfway to imparting the aggressive energy the material demands to come fully alive.
The show picks up considerably in the rare moments when Mr. Ross changes songwriters. When he sings Porter's ''Just One of Those Things,'' and Lee Pockriss and Anne Croswell's racy mating song, ''The Dolphin,'' he is back on home turf.Continue reading the main story

Arnoldas Kulboka, 6'9", 18.9 years old, Small Forward, Bamberg, Lithuania
-Super tall. Measured 6'9 in shoes at the 2016 EuroCamp. May still be growing.
-Has a plus-3 wingspan
-Good athlete. Light on his feet. Very agile. Can play above the rim in space. Excels in the open court
-Smooth catch and shoot stroke. Can get very hot with his stroke and knock down a barrage of 3s. Career 38% 3-point shooter according to DX database, on large volume of attempts. Can also make a pull-up
-Has some interesting ball-handling moves and footwork in his repertoire. Can attack closeouts skill-fully at times.
-Has plenty of room to continue to improve, nowhere near maturation.
-Has a very narrow frame that may struggle to put on weight. Body hasn't changed much in the past year.
-Still learning how to use his athleticism to create high-percentage shots for himself and others. Struggles to get into the paint in the half-court. Not a brilliant passer
-Poor finisher around the basket, partially due to lack of strength, but also due to propensity for avoiding contact and lack of left hand. Struggles to draw fouls and finish in traffic. Settles for a lot of pull-ups and floaters.
-Very inconsistent from game to game. Was completely invisible for half the tournament, and very impressive in other moments.
-Poor defender at the moment. Struggles to play tough defense without fouling. Lets opponents drive straight through him, not offering enough resistance. Targeted by opposing coaches with set plays
-Very reactive to what's happening on the court. Not a next play guy. Gets down on himself easily. Puts a ton of pressure on himself
Outlook: Kulboka has significant talent and long-term upside at his disposal with his combination of size, athleticism and outside shooting prowess. When he's rolling and making shots, he shows you some flashes of passing, activity defensively, but is very reactive to the way the game is unfolding. Frame will need to fill out significantly to play a real role in the NBA, especially defensively, something that will likely take at least a few years.

Queen's University Belfast Students Agree To End Sit-In
After 6 days, Fossil Free QUB can declare a small victory
Our original story on Fossil Free QUB can be read here
When it emerged that students would be taking over a part of the administration building of Queen's University Belfast for the Universities investment in fossil fuels, few believed it would last so long.
6 days later, the protest has ended after a "constructive meeting" took place, as told in a joint statement by the university and Queen's Students' Union
The students said the protest was over the university's failure to commit to divestment from fossil fuels.
In the meeting, it was agreed that Queen's University would undertake a comprehensive review of its investment policy.
This would involve engagement with "all relevant stakeholders in this process, including the Students' Union and Fossil Free QUB". And that this will be completed, with a review and recommendations on any proposed policy changes scheduled to come to senate, the university governing body, on 21 June 2016
The statement said Queen's University Belfast and QUB Students' Union were "committed to the development of a socially responsible investment policy that represents best practice, is consistent with Vision 2020 and the university's Carbon Management Plan, and will underpin investment decisions made by the university".
Students had been occupying part of the administration building since Friday, December 11th.

If you discover your credit card was used to buy things without your knowledge or consent, you may benefit from the services of a credit card fraud attorney. Since credit card fraudsters are often very sneaky, it can be difficult to know when your card is being misused. Usually you are responsible for only $50 of the purchases made before you report your card lost or stolen. After you report the card lost or stolen, credit card fraud laws apply and you are not responsible for any more losses. If your credit card company wants you to pay for stolen card charges, a credit card fraud lawyer can help you.

Cambridge North station
As part of our Railway Upgrade Plan, we are building a brand new station for Cambridge which is due to open in May 2017.
The new Cambridge North station, located in the Chesterton area, will provide an alternative connection point for commuters in the north of the city as well as improved access and journey times for passengers. The station is due to open in May this year and will be managed by our train operating partner, Greater Anglia. Funded by the Department for Transport and developed by Network Rail in partnership with Cambridgeshire County Council, the station will serve Cambridge Science and Business Parks, and the suburb of Chesterton.
The key to unlocking growth
The station will support the economic growth of Cambridge by attracting commercial and residential development to the surrounding area, making new employment opportunities more accessible to those living along the line. For example, the neighbouring CB4 development scheme is expected to bring additional housing, offices and retail to Chesterton.
Alleviating congestion
Once open, the station is anticipated to handle 3,000 passenger journeys a day. However, with its easily accessible location, next to the A14 and A10, combined with its three platforms, parking for 450 vehicles and 1,000 cycles, the station will help to alleviate congestion on the roads and platforms of Cambridge City.
Modern and sustainable
The modern design of the station is made apparent by the eye-catching aluminium cladding, which has been perforated into the pattern known as the 'Game of Life' - created by Cambridge University lecturer, John Conway. Other modern features include the solar panels which will generate up to 10% of the station's power.
If you're interested in finding out more about Cambridge North station, please contact us by visiting our contact us page or by calling our 24-Hour National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.

Tech earnings power Nasdaq to record high; S&P, Dow flat
The Nasdaq hit a record intraday high on Thursday, powered by a string of strong earnings from technology companies, while the S&P 500 and the Dow were little changed.
MILAN/LONDON Italy's borrowing costs soared at a closely watched bond auction on Thursday as investors worried by the euro zone debt crisis and an impasse over the U.S. debt ceiling exacted a high risk premium.
The 8 billion euro ($11.4 billion) auction was conducted in volatile markets made more feverish by rumors, denied by Italian politicians, that Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti was preparing to resign.
The pressure on Italian stocks and bonds reflected both concern about Rome's ability to cut its sovereign debt -- second only to Greece's in Europe at 120 percent of annual output -- and doubts over whether last week's summit of euro zone leaders found a durable solution to the Greek debt crisis.
Criticism of the latest euro zone bailout plan for Athens has surfaced at the International Monetary Fund, as well as among European economists and market analysts, who say it does too little to reduce Greece's 340 billion euro debt.
A Reuters poll of 55 economists showed a majority felt that while the rescue package was a step in the right direction, it was not a turning point from which the crisis would be resolved.
Cyprus may be next in line for a bailout after its cabinet resigned on Thursday over a fatal munitions blast that destroyed the island's main power plant and compounded its economic problems, which include heavy exposure to Greek debt.
Italian yields at the bond auction jumped to 5.77 percent on 10-year paper, the highest since February 2000, and to 4.80 percent on three-year debt, the highest since July 2008.
"You can argue that they were able to place bonds in the market, but the trend in yields is starting to become really impressive," said Alessandro Giansanti, a strategist at ING in Amsterdam.
"They can't afford this kind of increase every month."
Tremonti, long viewed as the guarantor of fiscal prudence in Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's fractious government, is under pressure over his use of a Rome apartment belonging to an aide under investigation for alleged corruption.
Umberto Bossi, head of the Northern League, part of Italy's governing coalition, dismissed rumors that Tremonti could lose his job, saying the affair was "nothing very serious." But the economy minister faces growing pressure from the opposition and media to explain himself, while his relations with Berlusconi have been strained for months.
Tremonti made a joke of the rumors that he might quit over the apartment issue, telling a news conference on Thursday: "I've resigned...as a tenant." He did not comment directly.
At one stage on Thursday, the secondary market yield on 10-year Italian government bonds jumped to 5.99 percent, near peaks hit during the height of bond market panic shortly before the euro zone summit. It later fell back to 5.84 percent, up only 7 basis points on the day, as fears over Tremonti and the threat of a U.S. debt default partially eased.
The rise in Italy's borrowing costs may put in doubt its contribution to the next tranche of aid for Athens in the current Greek bailout plan, to which Rome signed up last year, euro zone officials told Reuters.
In a conference call of euro zone finance officials on Thursday, during which the next tranche of emergency loans for Greece was discussed, Italy said it might have to use a "step-out" option in September if its own financing costs rose higher than those on the Greek loans.
"They have not decided one way or another," said one euro zone source familiar with the situation.
Euro zone leaders agreed last week that their bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, would in future be empowered to buy bonds in the secondary market and give states in difficulty precautionary credit lines.
But that will only take effect once new EFSF rules have been approved by national parliaments, a time-consuming and potentially difficult process. Italy's Treasury Director-General Vittorio Grilli said on Thursday he hoped the EFSF would gain its new powers by the end of 2011; in the meantime, euro zone states will remain vulnerable in bond markets.
An IMF source said there was growing concern among non-European members of the global lender's board about the Fund's exposure to Greece and the euro zone.
"There is a feeling on the board that we are in the same boat as the Europeans but we don't have much power to take decisions...We are linked to the errors of the Europeans," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
"The issue today is not so much the mistakes of Greece but what is happening with the Europeans. Some people are getting more uncomfortable than before."
Euro zone leaders' second bailout plan for Greece includes 109 billion euros in official funding for Athens, on top of 110 billion euros from a first bailout scheme launched in May last year. The IMF has agreed to contribute about a third of past euro zone bailouts, but it is unclear how much it will be willing to provide this time.
The Financial Times quoted the Brazilian and Indian members of the IMF board as warning against pouring further large sums into another Greek bailout with uncertain prospects. Brazilian director Paulo Nogueira Batista was quoted as saying the austerity imposed on Athens was too tough while Greece's private creditors were given too easy a time.
The new bailout includes money to be raised by selling Greek government assets. Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos appeared to backtrack on Thursday on plans to sell the government's stake in gaming monopoly OPAP said on Thursday that an expected loss at its Greek unit Emporiki and its participation in the rescue would force it to take a second-quarter provision of up to 850 million euros.
Investors worry that if the second rescue of Greece fails, European banks will have to accept bigger losses on their Greek debt holdings, as well as losses on bonds in Ireland and Portugal, which are also receiving bailouts.
Market valuations of euro zone bank shares have fallen this year close to levels hit during the global credit crisis of 2008-2009, in terms of both book value and projected earnings for the next 12 months, Thomson Reuters data shows.

Fisher information for irregular likelihood functions
Posted by emakalic in Statistics on February 15, 2011
I recently came across the following problem: how do you work out the Fisher information for a parameter when the likelihood function, say , is continuous, but not everywhere differentiable with respect to the parameter. The standard formula for the Fisher information
assumes regularity conditions which no longer hold, and hence is not applicable. After hunting around with Google for some time, I came across the following (freely downloadable) paper
H. E. Daniels
The Asymptotic Efficiency of a Maximum Likelihood Estimator
Fourth Berkeley Symp. on Math. Statist. and Prob., University of California Press, 1961, 1, 151-163
which, fortunately, had exactly what I need. It turns out, we can still compute the Fisher information, without existence of second derivatives, using
provided a set of weaker conditions holds. To get my head around the issue, I decided to look at a simple problem of working out the Fisher information for the mean of a Laplace distribution
The log-likelihood is now given by
The Fisher information for the scale parameter can be obtained in a similar manner. The first derivative with respect to is
the Fisher information for the scale parameter is
The paper by Daniels details the exact conditions needed for the Fisher information to be derived in this way. Note, there is a mistake in one of the proofs, the correction is detailed in
J. A. Williamson
A Note on the Proof by H. E. Daniels of the Asymptotic Efficiency of a Maximum Likelihood Estimator

Unfortunately, the Williamson paper requires a JSTOR subscription for download.
The blog expands
Posted by emakalic in Research Grants, Statistics on January 25, 2011
I've started writing a new page for the blog that examines the theory behind various common statistical methods and models. The idea here is to include references and brief descriptions of some of the important and interesting papers on various topics. I also intend to include web links to software implementations whenever possible. The new material can be found by clicking on the "Statistics Theory and Applications" tab above. I am currently working on the linear regression section and the LASSO regularisation method for linear regression.
In other news, the grant writing season has again started. This year, we aim to write one early career researcher ARC grant, and at least one NHMRC grant. The ARC grant will be a two year proposal for work on modern logistic regression techniques. We are in the process of determining which NHMRC grant(s) will be written and which researchers will be involved. I can only hope that this grant season is as successful as last years!
More Grant News
Posted by emakalic in Research Grants on November 24, 2010
The NHMRC funding outcomes have been released and we have been awarded another grant! This is fantastic news given the competitive nature of the funding process. The list of project grants that were funded for 2011 can be found here. We were awarded approximately $400k over a period of two years for a research project on mammographic density. This is a very exciting area of research and we hope to positively contribute towards breast cancer research and making mammographic density more clinically useful.
Continuing on with more good news, the
Lastly, I'd like to congratulate my colleague and good friend Daniel Schmidt for getting engaged this year to one lovely lady! I wish you both the best of luck!
ARC Grant Time
Posted by emakalic in Research Grants on October 27, 2010
The Australian Research Council (ARC) have announced the funding outcomes for the 2011 round of Discovery Projects. The sucess rate this year was 22.0% compared to 22.7% in the last round. The success rate really is quite low considering the amount of time and effort required to fill out one of these applications. The great news is that our first ever ARC grant got funded! Although we didn't quite get the amount of money we requested, we still got more than the national average. Now we nervously await the NHMRC funding outcomes which should be released in a week or so.
Matrix inversion lemma
Posted by emakalic in Linear algebra on October 18, 2010
The other day at work I came across an interesting problem while trying to optimise some MATLAB MCMC sampling code. The major bottleneck in the code was the inversion of a [p x p] matrix M, where p can be quite large (in the order of thousands). Now, I noticed that M can be written as
where A is a diagonal [p x p] matrix, X is [p x n] and G is a full rank diagonal [n x n] matrix. In my setting, p could be much larger than n and speed is important since this particular code is executed numerous times within a loop. I immediately thought about using the matrix inversion lemma (or the Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula) to speed up the inversion when p >> n. However, it turns out that in my case the matrix A is
which is of rank (p – 1) and singular, so the matrix inversion lemma cannot be applied in a straightforward manner. After talking to a colleague about this issue, he suggested a nice trick to make A full rank by replacing the top-left zero element with a non-zero entry, and then changing X and G to correct for this modification. If we apply this trick, we can write M as
where e = (1, 0, …, 0) is a [p x 1] vector. Application of the matrix inversion lemma is now straightforward and reduces the computational cost of inverting M from O(p^3) to O(n^3). I did some rough timing of the new code and it is (unsurprisingly) significantly faster than the previous version when p / n gets large. I've updated my Bayesian LASSO code for logistic regression (see Publications) to include this neat trick.
Penalized Logistic Regression
Posted by emakalic in Statistics on October 9, 2010
Last week I gave a seminar at my work place on the advantages of using penalized logistic regression methods (such as the LASSO, elastic net, etc.) over the standard maximum likelihood approach. The target audience was genetic epidemiologists who have some practical knowledge of fitting logistic models, but may not be aware of the recent theoretical work in the area. The slides from the seminar are now available from the Publications page.
Statistical Analysis Questions
Posted by emakalic in Interesting URLs, Statistics on July 30, 2010
The other day I came across a new Q&A site for statistical analysis called Statistical Analysis Questions. I am not sure how long the site has been running, but there are already about 200 questions, 750 answers and more than 600 users. I recommended checking it out. It seems quite useful for anyone involved in both applied and theoretical statistics work.
Hypothesis testing with Paul the Octopus
For the past four weeks, I've been enjoying the FIFA World Cup 2010, the most watched television event in the world. This world cup is held in South Africa making it the first time ever an African nation hosted the prestigious tournament. One of the surprise teams of the tournament has been Germany, beating both England and Argentina (4-1 and 4-0 respectively) before losing 0-1 to current European champions Spain in a tightly contested semi-final encounter.
Meanwhile in Oberhausen, Germany, a somewhat odd event took place before each of the Germany matches. Paul the Octopus, who resides at the local Sea Life Aquarium, was used as an oracle to predict the outcomes of all Germany world cup matches prior to the games taking place. For a description of exactly how Paul makes his predictions, see this Wikipedia article. Amazingly, Paul has successfully predicted all six of the German games so far and has recently tipped Germany, to the delight of many Germans, to beat Uruguay at the upcoming game for 3rd/4th place. This should hopefully put a stop to those anti-octopus songs and calls to eat Paul. As statisticians, let us ask the question "Is Paul really an animal oracle or just one extremely lucky octopus?".
We can model the number of Paul's successful predictions at this world cup as a binomial distribution B(p, n=6); that is, we have six independent trials (matches) with p being the probability of success (Paul predicting correctly) at each trial. In order to test whether Paul is psychic, we shall construct a 95% confidence interval for the probability of success, p. The standard confidence interval, often called the Wald interval, is known to have poor coverage properties in this scenario and exhibits erratic behaviour, even if the sample size is large or p is near 0.5. Instead, we compute the modified Jeffreys 95% CI, recommended in [1], and find that
This CI is quite wide, which is not unexpected given such a small sample size (n=6), and excludes the possibility that Paul is just plain old lucky (p=0.5)!
What can Minimum Message Length (MML) and Minimum Description Length (MDL) tell us about Paul's psychic powers? We shall use the Wallace-Freeman (MML) codelength formula [2,3] and the Normalized Maximum Likelihood (NML) distribution (MDL) [4] for this task. Let A denote the hypothesis that Paul is lucky, and B the alternative hypothesis that Paul is an animal oracle. We compute the codelength of data and hypothesis for both scenarios A and B, and use the difference in codelengths (i.e., codelength A – codelength B) as a probability in favour of the hypothesis with a smaller codelength. From standard information theory, the codelength for hypothesis A is 6 * log(2) = 6 bits. The codelength for hypothesis B is 2.82 bits using the WF formula and 1.92 bits using the NML distribution. Thus, both MML and MDL prefer hypothesis B.
So there you have it, Paul must be the real deal! 😉

Eurovision 2010 Forecast (Part 2)
The Eurovision 2010 competition finished last Saturday with Lena Meyer-Landrut from Germany taking the title for her song "Satellite". If you missed the show, you can see Lena performing the song at the official Eurovision YouTube channel here. Given the current state of the world economy, this is a pretty good outcome as Germany is one of a few countries left in Europe with enough finances to host next years show. So how did my team, StatoVIC, go in the Kaggle Eurovision 2010 competition? The results have been tabulated and released here. It looks like StatoVIC took seventh place out of 22 submissions with an absolute error of 2626 points calculated from the predicted ratings. This score is in the top quartile of the submissions and about 1000 points better than "Lucky Guess", the last place submission (I assume this submission is just a random selection of ratings). Not a bad result for StatoVIC, really. Congratulations to Jure Zbontar for winning the competition with an impressive absolute error score of about 400 rating points less than our team.
It's time for StatoVIC to look at the HIV progression challenge and see if we can do better than seventh place!
Eurovision 2010 Forecast (Part 1)
Last week I submitted predictions for the Kaggle Eurovision 2010 competition under the team name StatoVIC. The first part of the competition requires selecting the 25 countries that will make the Eurovision 2010 final. Once the 25 finalists are chosen, you are asked to predict the voting behaviour of all the participating countries based on 10 years of data collected from previous Eurovision competitions. In this years Eurovision, 20 countries are selected for the final based on the outcome of two semi-finals. In both semi-finals, there are 17 countries competing and the 10 countries with the most points go through to the final. The remaining five countries (Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, France and Norway) are guaranteed final competitors. With the second semi-final finishing last Thursday, it is time to see how the StatoVIC team has fared thus far.
In the first semi-final, I ended up predicting five (Bosnia, Russia, Greece, Serbia and Belgium) out of the ten finalists correctly. In the second semi-final, I fared somewhat better selecting eight of the ten countries that made the final. I missed out on picking Romania and Cyprus and instead chose Croatia and Finland. Given the relatively naive strategy that was used to select the finalists, these numbers are certainly not too bad.
Out of interest, I had a brief look at how you would fare if you were to randomly select all the finalists in any of the two semi-finals. First, the "good" news is that you are guaranteed to select at least three finalists correctly. The odds of correctly guessing all the ten finalists in a semi are unfortunately 1 in 19,448. The probability of correctly guessing five and eight finalists is about 0.27 and 0.05 respectively. In expectation, the mean number of finalists guessed correctly with this strategy is between five and six. In light of this, the performance of StatoVIC is about average in the first semi, and moderately better than average in the second.
The Eurovision final is on this Saturday night, but is shown Sunday night on SBS if you are in Australia. It will be interesting to see how StatoVIC fares in predicting the voting behaviour. In the mean time, here are the predictions of the fine folks at Google:
