Here is the link to the slides I have for the presentation on Thursday (in case the email gets lost): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OILX_3cVHwU47hAVSOj2pnZBpQ2bZiLhm_gxTI2uxZs/edit?usp=sharing

Looking forward to your feedback! We'll talk about them tomorrow as well!

These slides look GREAT! I am hesitant to give any feedback until I hear what you're planning to say, but two quick thoughts (that you can take or leave!):

• you probably should define Y, A, R etc. on a slide before using them in the definitions
• you could perhaps cut back on one of the "intro" slides to make room for one more slide on the Seldonian algorithm (to go between slides 15 and 16). Although we say the talks should be aimed at upper level statistics majors, I think including one slide with more math detail on the algorithm and (very briefly/concisely) your exploration into it so far could be helpful in terms of generating feedback from other faculty members.

Thank you for the suggestions!

• I've added a notation slide, that's actually really helpful to point out since I had overlooked that!
• I've consolidated some of the intro slides so that they take a shorter time to talk through.
• I've added a slide on the overview of the Seldonian framework. I agree it might be a bit too technical to fully explain it given the time constraints of the time and the other material, but I'll give a brief overview and leave room for any questions afterwards since that is the last content slide.

I'll also try to do an initial run-through of the presentation before our meeting to see if I'm able to get to everything in good time, and we can finalize that tomorrow. See you then!
