14-4 Out of the Gate: Checking In on Our 2026-27 NBA Proprietary Model Projections

Before the ball tipped off on the 2026-27 NBA regular season, we published our full 30-team win projections and conference standings generated by our proprietary quantitative models. Unlike traditional power rankings driven by offseason headlines and superstar name recognition, our system evaluates how a team’s entire 10-man rotation (from starting backcourt efficiency and wing spacing […]

2026โ€“27 NBA Season Win Projections

Usually, we project total team wins based on the first few weeks of the given NBA season. This year, we wanted to try something different by projecting the number of wins each team will have just based on what we know about them before the beginning of the season. Every NBA offseason brings a wave […]

Movie and TV Show Recommender

Using a lot of data wrangling and NLP, I created a movie and tv show recommender: Basically, the user selects from the drop-down list their movie/tv show of interest, and the algorithm will recommend a combination of movies and tv shows that the user is most likely to be interested in. I tried to include […]

Revisiting Kaluza Klein Theory

In the video below, I explain how to derive Kaluza Klein action which occurs from generalizing the Einstein-Hilbert action to five dimensions. The grand implication of this is that gravity and electromagnetism are unified!

Deriving Least Squares Coefficients Using Tensor/Index Notation

Many textbooks when introducing ordinary least squares as a method to do regression (usually via introducing linear regression) don’t explain / derive the coefficients. Here, I explain how to do it using tensor/index notation.
