Bayesian Sports Modeling.

In twelve months you go from a first regression to hierarchical models you fit, check and explain, with the uncertainty stated plainly.

Who it is for

One program, three ways in.

For you

You know some statistics and write R or Python. You want models whose uncertainty you can state and defend in front of a decision-maker.

For a parent

You are applying for a son or daughter. Apply on their behalf; the first call includes them, and the plan is written for where they are now.

For an employer

You are developing someone on your staff. The plan is built around your work, and we invoice your company directly.

The outcome, in plain words

After twelve months, you can do this.

  • Build a hierarchical model and say what each level is for
  • Read the diagnostics, and know when a fit cannot be trusted
  • Choose between sampling and variational inference for the problem in front of you
  • Handle missing data and aging curves without hiding the uncertainty

You finish with four mentor-reviewed portfolio projects, one from each quarter, and the Credly certificate. We do not promise a job, and nobody honestly can.

The 12-month roadmap

Four quarters, each one ends in a project.

This is the standard path. Your custom plan starts from it and moves with what you already know. Everything named is in your Membership access.

The mentor model

A lead mentor, and one assigned to you.

Michael is the lead and principal mentor of every program, and personally assigns each person a one-on-one mentor from the team. You meet one-on-one every month, with Slack support between, and a mentor reviews your portfolio project each quarter.

A sample portfolio project

An aging curve with honest uncertainty

You model how performance changes with age using a hierarchical model, check the fit, and state what the data cannot tell you. You write the result up in one page for a reader who does not code, with the uncertainty drawn, not hidden. Your mentor reviews the model, the checks and the write-up before it goes in your portfolio.

What is included

Everything in the twelve months.

  • A custom twelve-month plan, written after your first call
  • Michael as your lead and principal mentor, and a one-on-one mentor he assigns you from the team
  • A one-on-one every month, and Slack support between them
  • Full Membership access for the twelve months: the courses, the workshops, the sessions and the live Masterclass
  • A portfolio project each quarter, reviewed by your mentor
  • Interview prep, and a review of your résumé and your portfolio
  • The job-posting map: what current postings ask for, read from the postings themselves
  • The Credly certificate when you complete the program
Questions

Asked before applying.

Does the program promise me a job?

No. Nobody can promise you a job, and we do not. The program is twelve months of mentored work, a reviewed portfolio, interview prep and a clear view of what current postings ask for. What you do with it is yours.

Who mentors me?

Michael leads the program and is your principal mentor. After your first call he personally assigns you a one-on-one mentor from the team, chosen for the plan you are on. The instructors listed on this page teach the material on your roadmap; they are not all personal mentors.

How do I apply for my son or daughter?

Fill in the form with their details and say in the last field that you are applying for them. The first call is with both of you.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. Choose Employer under who is funding it, and we invoice your company directly.

What does it cost?

$6,000 once, 6 payments of $1,000, or 12 payments of $500. PLUS is priced on request; ask on the call.

How many people do you take?

Seats are limited each quarter, because every person has a mentor. If the quarter is full, we tell you on the call and offer the next one.

What happens after I apply?

A 20-minute call with Michael, then your custom plan with your one-on-one mentor named. You decide after you have read the plan.
