Text from youtube "We've talked a lot about modeling data and making inferences about it, but today we're going to look towards the future at how machine learning is being used to build models to predict future outcomes. We'll discuss three popular types of supervised machine learning models: Logistic Regression, Linear discriminant Analysis (or LDA) and K Nearest Neighbors (or KNN)."

Text from youtube "In our series finale, we're going to take a look at some of the times we've used statistics to gaze into our crystal ball, and actually got it right!

We'll talk about how stores know what we want to buy (which can sometimes be a good thing), how baseball was changed forever when Paul DePodesta created a record-winning Oakland A's baseball team, and how statistics keeps us safe with the incredible strides we've made in weather forecasting. Statistics are everywhere, and even if you don't remember all the formulae and graphs we've thrown at you in this series, we hope you take with you a better appreciation of the many ways statistics impacts your life, and hopefully we've given your a more math-y perspective on how the world works. Thanks so much for watching DFTBAQ!"

Text from you tube 

Earth wobbles on its axis, causing major climate shifts. Some of those shifts turned the Arabian Peninsula into lush grassland that ancient humans could have traversed as they migrated out of Africa. Researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa simulated climate conditions over the last 125,000 years and predicted how those changes would have allowed humans to spread around the globe (increasing intensity of red shows greater predicted migration).

the world in #2025 - 10 #predictions

the headlines from each section of this document - the world in 2025 as linked to in this new york times post found via @TBrandStudio

1) Dementia declines - Understanding of the human genome and genetic mutations leads to improved detection of, and prevention methods for, the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.

2) Solar energy is the largest source of energy on the planet - Methods for harvesting, storing and converting solar energy are so advanced and efficient that it becomes the primary source of energy on our planet.

3) Type 1 diabetes is preventable - a versatile human genome engineering platform is a reality, paving the way for the modification of disease-causing genes and helping to prevent certain metabolic 
conditions.

4) Food shortages and food price fluctuations are things of the past - advancements in lighting technologies and imaging techniques, coupled with genetic crop modification, provide an environment ripe for successful indoor crop growth and detecting diseased foods.

5) Electric air transportation takes off - Light-weight aerospace engineering coupled with new battery technologies power electric vehicle transportation - on land and in the air.

6) Digital everything ... everywhere - From the smallest personal items to the largest continents, everything, everywhere will be digitally connected, and responsive to our wants and likes.

7) Petroleum-based packaging is history; cellulose-derived packaging rules - bio-nanocomposites based on nanocellulose make 100% fully biodegradeable packaging pervasive.  Petroleum-based packaging products will be no more

8) Cancer treatments have very few toxic effects - drug development is so much more precise, binding to specific proteins and using antibodies to give exact mechanisms of action, that the debilitating effects of toxic chemicals on patients is significantly reduced.

9) DNA mapping at birth is the norm to manage disease risk - The evolution of micro-total analysis systems (singlecell analysis) and advancements in nanotechnology, coupled with more widespread Big Data technologies, make DNA-mapping at birth the norm, as well as part of one’s annual physician exam.

10) Teleportation is tested - Kinematical techniques used to understand the Higgs Boson particles generated in the Large Hadron Collider advance such that quantum teleportation is more commonplace.
