[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (3 children) How accurate is 338? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca [S] 13 points 1 year ago https://338canada.com/record.htm The 338Canada / Qc125 model has thus far covered 18 general elections in Canada. In total, 2,039 electoral districts were projected. So far, the model has correctly identified the winner in 1,821 districts, a success rate of 89.3%. Among the 218 remaining districts, 132 of the winners (6.5%) obtained a share of the vote that was within the projection's margin of error (moe). Only 86 districts (4.2%) were complete misses. On this site, electoral districts are labelled according to the odds of winning by the projected favourite party. If a party's odds of winning are at or above 99.9% (formerly 99.5%), the district is labelled as safe. Between 90% and 99.9%, the district is likely. Between 70% ad 90%, we use the label leaning. Finally, if no party has odds above 70%, the district will be labelled as a toss up. Here below is the complete breakdown of correct and incorrect winners from safe, likely, leaning and toss up districts: permalink fedilink source parent [–] corminsterfullerene@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago It's a bad attempt at copying Nate Silver's work, but lacks any statistical quality or funding.
