Re: Statistical estimation of EE enrty, what score @ when
First rule of forecasting - Often the simplest explanations are best. Simplest models work best. I would rather rely on a well constructed linear regression model.

You probably need more data then the next 5-6 draw. Because the first 4 -5 draws would be mainly for ppl with pnp/job offer, which would be very different from latter draws.uxd said:So data set is limited. I would not go for monte carlo or any other crazy brownian motion stuff that one would rather use for options/derivatives pricing. Whats left ? apply black scholes
.. I would maybe wait for 2-3 more draws and then apply linear regression at best. Regression will give you forecast until infinity and for all values +/ - . It depends on you how you interpret the forecast.
Suremunnakha05 said:Nice attempt. Could you please simplify for us with Number of draw and amount of ITA with score breakdown? I know it is just an assumption. Still it will make some sense. Thanks.
:) All questions are welcomed.carl321 said:nice work sashaMonte Carlo simulations are always better
I do have 2 concerns:
1. we know there will be 24 draws but you assumed it to be 25?
2. from the 5th draw and onwards the gap seems to get narrow.. would you think that CIC will have separate draws with 6 points gap? Seems a little bit unrealistic right ?
Im not criticizing your work just sharing my opinion from a realistic point of view...

It doesn't matter in fact, how many draws will there be.
The only thing that matters is how many ITAs are issued cumulatively.

The above is its google doc l---ink.
please leave comments so that I can perfect the model and make it close to real.
Data sources are that google spread sheet online[you all know that].
I have not built a good enough model yet, considering in my model, the # of ppl in the pool will be 0 after a certain time period.But I can always adjust it, based on your suggestions!
Thanks
Have fun...
correct me if i am wrong. 6th draw over and its already at 453.shasha1111 said:I updated the modeling method. Now I simulate this problem with Monte Carlo. Link is still the same.
