Excellent appraisal by Tapen Sinha on the EU-India FTA deal. tapen.substack.com/p/eu-india-fta…

Saddened to hear that Prof Madhav Gadgil has passed away. I had the pleasure of attending his immensely enjoyable 2004 NAL Science Day Lecture on ... butterflies! bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2012/10/05/in-…

Tapen Sinha has used Google llluminate to create this audio chat summarizing his long muse of P C Mahalanobis, arguably the world's first data scientist. tapen.substack.com/p/prasanta-cha…

This account of the love and bond between Mahalanobis and Tagore is another deliciously nostalgic dive back into history. tapen.substack.com/p/p-c-mahalano…

I haven't read a better muse on P C Mahalanobis, without a doubt the father of data science. He was thinking up things that the world would enthusiastically embrace half a century later. tapen.substack.com/p/prasanta-cha…

LLMs like ChatGPT are going to become very big disruptors in university education. Here's how I see it as a "ChatGuru" of statistics and probability. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/09/19/cha…

@LesterJez I'm sure they had the ideas, but lacked more innovative tools

@bhogle I endured many lectures like that at Australian National University. However I always looked forward to listening to Dr Lincoln Day back in the seventies. During a demography lecture on why the average age of death started rising in the 1800s, he simply held a cake of soap aloft.

A muse on how probability and statistics was taught half a century ago. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/09/13/bac…

I don't get it when team selectors, managers and captains talk of a 'good' headache. Headache is always bad.

An internship stint for a budding data scientist is almost a given. How, then, is this internship experience? bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/06/18/the…

A long chat with X's Grok AI to discuss the fuzzy nature of online games. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/03/20/ski…

A comment on urban India's growing love for pet dogs. The dog used to be a loyal guardian; now it's becoming a loving companion. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/02/12/the…

@amol_desai I had written a last paragraph that we should have Indian cricket analytics companies that 'do' and surpass a CricViz, but I just didn't have reliable background information. If BCCI pays Hawk-Eye does it exclusively own the data?

@bhogle There is definitely a growth in the number of jobs but the industry is still in very early stages as far as creating careers is concerned. This means that there are several difficult tradeoffs and risks to be taken for relatively small conventional rewards.

A new, and long, ramble on how cricket analytics is getting smarter, more enjoyable and more valuable. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/01/26/big…

@hganjoo_153 You should ... and perhaps in French!

@bhogle You're very kind, Dr Bhogle. I have much to say about this matter. Perhaps I'll rant some day.

The Indian classroom today, and how it must change. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2025/01/14/the…

How do IPL franchises make up their teams at the big auction? They use their data, insights, biases and crores. But you still sense a lurking fuzziness. Arnav Jain's innovative simulator could become the companion to gain greater clarity. arnavj.substack.com/p/smart-auctio…

Saddened to read that Frank Duckworth has passed away. Exchanged many long emails with him. He was a kind and genial professor. With both D and L gone, Steven Stern is now the sole DLS custodian ... till a new AI-based algorithm takes over!

Essay writing will never be the same again. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2024/06/19/eva…

An interesting study by Arnav Jain suggests that the spinner is often a better choice in T20 death overs than the pace bowler. bademian.wpcomstaging.com/2024/04/02/dea…
