Lagada knows ins and outs of TDP & YSRC




This is my point, in the absense of historical trends between 2 parties, they cannot factor in the right variables into the model. Someone with detailed insights into local dynamics will be best placed to predict in this scenario where one of the 2 parties in a 2 party system is new.

Anyway just a self fulfulling prophesy from my side to be happy for the next few hours :-). CHooddam final result ela vuntundo

Okatelugodu:

Usually they take historical trends to arrive at these factors in a traditional 2 party system.




Because of lack if historical trends if they have built their model based on last bye elections. Results will be even more consistent. I doubt if they do it, given their experience but in any case I believe it will not be easy to predict this time around.

Here's an interesting read on what goes into the surveys.

https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.iitk.ac.in/reach/200 8/Forecasting/Rajeev.pdf&sa=U&ei=WAJ1U8fkCJaXqAbLuILwCw&ved= 0CEcQFjAI&usg=AFQjCNHpjqlLMfF3vFE1JegzRUnwx2uKcQ

Though based on a preset proabablity distribution or a model it is relatively easier to predict the vote % for a party given a random sample(RANDOM is the key), to predict a win/loss in a seat, lot of factors(age,caste,religion, economic stature etc) have to be taken into account into the model. Usually they take historical trends to arrive at these factors in a traditional 2 party system. However given that YSR party is going in for the general election for first time and it is now a 2 party system with one being a new party. This is rare and I believe there are bound to be lot of inconsistencies in prediction.

So I won't be surprised if these predictions are not even close to the final result. Any thoughts?
