Here is an analysis of the 2021 Blue Chip Ratio for the Texas Longhorns. The 2021 Texas Longhorns football recruiting cycle started with the early signing period in mid-December 2020. As of July 21, 2021, the Longhorns signed 23 recruits, of which 11 were Blue Chip recruits (5- and 4-star). One of the most important…
In a previous article, I wrote about three psychiatric uses cases that can be utilized now for AI applications. One of those use cases, on AI and Patient Similarity, I will now expand upon and write more about it in this article. As you recall from the previous article on Patient Similarity, a doctor usually…
I have been a speaker at two major psychiatry conferences last year in Washington DC and Amelia Island FL, on the topic of AI and Big Data in psychiatry (see slide presentation below). What I found in speaking with conference attendees is that the psychiatrists and behavioral health researchers found it difficult to make the…
Here we are again, with the annual Blue Chip Ratio, which is the most important indicator of who will win the National Championship in college football. As you see in Figure 1 above, only 14 teams made it past the 50% mark, which historically gives you the winner of the National Championship. Once again, this…

Coach Belichik’s defensive strategy employed in…

The Blue-Chip Ratio is calculated by summing-up, over the past 4 recruiting cycles, all the 5-star and 4-star recruits (also known as Blue-Chip Recruits), then dividing that by the…
I’m a newly-minted data scientist, with my MSc in computing and data analytics degree earned a couple of days ago. Yet, I often hear from other senior data scientists that everyone who does not have their credentials and years of experience are to be classified as “fake” data scientists. Yet these same senior data scientists…
