No current-day banksters could come even close to our mythical George Bailey - a hero for the ages who gives us comfort at least once a year.
Mr. Zarb's current day job is no piece of cake, either.
Φ K shows how much brighter or cloudy the current day is compared to previous days.
Far more weight is put on the current day relative to the previous 6 days.
This analysis broadly considered biophysical conditions over the previous and current day, previous week, and previous month (past 30 days).
"But in the current day, 2013, 2014, somebody like Wendy Davis... has no shot and she has no reason to have a shot".
Specifically, we used 7 df per year for time trend, 6 df for mean temperature on the current day (Temp0) and the moving average for the previous 3 days (Temp1 3), and 3 df for humidity (Humidity0) on the current day.
Second, we estimated effects using different lag structures, including single-day lags (from lag 0 for the current day to lag 5 for the 24-hr average exposure 5 days prior to the current day) and the 6-day moving average concentration for the current day and the previous 5 days (lag 05).
Regression models with current-day pollution value (lag 1), average of current day and yesterday (lag 2), and average of current and 2 previous days (lag 3) were examined.
That takes us to the current day, and, at last, to the reasons behind the rule.
"A displacement from the current day adds a lot," he says.
