THE HYPERBOLIC REVIEW


Three mathematical problems regarding sky
K. J. Page
Problem 1: Calculate the design factor of sky. Take a daily sample of sky for at least forty years. Create a holdout universe of ten percent. Run bootstrap tests on your remaining observations. What is the standard deviation of sky? Why did you need to look again and again?
Problem 2: Sky is slippery. What can you design to hold onto sky? A few examples: the weather in Middlemarch; Abstract Expressionism; Black Oil beetle wings.
Problem 3: Regression to the mean is a common problem when fusing clouds, resulting in a bland and overcast sky. How will you mitigate this challenge? Your choice of variables is critical. Bear in mind analysis is only possible in retrospect. Show your workings.
