Proxy Metrics Under Optimisation: Why a Correlation of 0.6 Is Not a Substitute for the Goal
The proxy correlates 0.63 with the metric that matters, so the team optimises it and reports a gain of 3.8. The goal metric moved by 1.9. Change one thing, m...

Global vs Local Models in Time Series Forecasting
The traditional approach fits one model per series. Modern practice often fits a single model across thousands of them, and usually wins.

Probabilistic Forecasting: Beyond the Point Estimate
A point forecast answers the wrong question. Most decisions depend on how bad things could plausibly get, which is a statement about the whole distribution.

Forecasting Baselines That Are Hard to Beat
An RMSE of 4.2 means nothing on its own. Without a baseline you cannot tell whether a model is skilful or merely arithmetic.

Cost-Sensitive Learning for Rare Event Prediction
Rare event models should be optimized for decisions, not only class balance. Cost-sensitive learning connects model thresholds to real operational consequences.
