As the flyout part of the recruiting season is about to start at UPF, I thought it might be a good thing to put a bit of a swing into everyone's step... from my colleague Michael Greenacre comes this rather splendid reinterpretation of Duke Ellington's
"It don't mean a thing... if you don't do modelling":
It don't mean a thing if you don't do modelling,
Doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah!
It don't matter if you're frequentist or Bayesian,
You just need a model with some alphas and betas, x's and y's, and i's and j's and k's in!
So it don't mean a thing if you don't do modelling,
Doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah!
[I will suggest that ITFD statistics supremo Kurt Schmidheiny adopts it as the theme song of our quant methods class]
