Meta-Analysis of State Polls
Electoral College Meta-Analysis
From Prof. Sam Wang of Princeton University.
Below is a meta-analysis directed at the question of who would win the Electoral College if the election were held today. Meta-analysis provides more objectivity and precision than looking at one or a few polls, and in the case of election prediction gives a more accurate current snapshot. My academic specialties are biophysics and neuroscience. In these fields I make heavy use of probability and statistics in analyzing complex experimental data, and have published many papers using these approaches. Polling provides an interesting everyday example. Many of you agree – this site gets over 10,000 hits per day.
