What better example than Finally, What’s the Bottom Line?
The Lighter Side Celebrations: What better example than New Years? Finally, What’s the Bottom Line?
2
An obvious prediction: New Years celebrations Concatenation across all (24) time zones Cumulative excess deviation of means Model Prediction Weak Replication
3
Broughton: Taking the metaphor to heart
Evoked Response in the Electrogaiagram: Signal averaging: Mini-Celebrating time zones
4
Evoked Response in the Electrogaiagram: Maxi-celebrating time zones, Signal averaging
5
An Alternative Analysis Variance of the Scores
Sum of zi2-1 across eggs is c2 with N df Equivalent to variance s2 of egg scores Large cumulative deviation Reflects distribution spread, variability of means Reflects large deviations in either direction
6
Y2K New Year 1999-2000: Coherent engagement
Y2K New Year : Coherent engagement? Radin makes an independent prediction Reduction of Variance across eggs Odds, GMT
7
New Years : Variance Reduction Signal Average over 37 time zones Normalized, Squared, Smoothed
8
New Years : Variance Reduction Signal Average over 37 time zones Normalized as Z-scores, Smoothed 5-Min Smoothing Window
9
What do we have in hand? Where do we want to go with it?
Four years of data 50 eggs around the world More than 100 formal studies About 65% positive outcome About 20% individually significant Many analyses remain to be done
10
Formal Chi-square outcome sequence versus random draws from Chi-square distribution
11
A subset of the formal trials, compared with Pseudo-random data
12
Bottom line: the full formal database 113 global events over 4 years
13
Bigger Picture: What is our aspiration?
Sharpen and focus our questions Aim for theoretical understanding Capture insight about creative mind Consider evidence that we are one Contribute to better future for culture
14
We think the world apart
We think the world apart. What would it be like to think the world together? Parker Palmer, educator
