Side Projects

TROON

Troon Brewing Release Prediction

Troon is a famous brewery in New Jersey that tends to release new beers whenever they are ready, without any advance notice. With this project, I’m trying to predict when the next Troon release will be. (tl;dr: It’s hard, but I’ve learned a lot about Bayesian modeling and uncertainty in the process.)

Understanding Survey Weighting

I’m trying to gain a better understanding of survey weighting techniques, including raking and multilevel regression with poststratification.
