If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments.

Quantification of forecast uncertainty via simulation-based prediction intervals. Prediction Intervals A statistical forecasting system should not lack uncertainty quantification. We forecast this time series from the middle of 2006 through the end of the data, for a 30-month forecast horizon.

SCOTT Time series data are everywhere, but time series modeling is a fairly specialized area within statistics and data science. They may contain parameters in the statistical sense, but often they simply contain strategically placed 0's and 1's indicating which bits of $alpha_t$ are relevant for a particular computation. by STEVEN L.

We often use statistical models to summarize the variation in our data, and random effects models are well suited for this — they are a form of ANOVA after all. In the context of prediction problems, another benefit is that the models produce an estimate of the uncertainty in their predictions: the predictive posterior distribution.

He was saying this doesn’t belong just in statistics. It involved a lot of work with applied math, some depth in statistics and visualization, and also a lot of communication skills. They learned about a lot of process that requires that you get rid of uncertainty. They’re being told they have to embrace uncertainty.
