Silver said: "I did think there was room for a more sophisticated way of handling these things."<sup id="cite_ref-WSJ_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WSJ-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-STATS_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-STATS-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p><i>FiveThirtyEight</i> weighs pollsters' historical track records through a complex methodology,<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>538 2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and assigns them values to indicate "Pollster-Introduced Error". At its base, Silver's method is similar to other analysts' approaches to taking advantage of the multiple polls that are conducted within each state: he averaged the polling results. But especially in the early months of the election season polling in many states is sparse and episodic. The "average" of polls over an extended period (perhaps several weeks) would neither reveal the true state of voter preferences at the present time, nor provide an accurate forecast of the future. One approach to this problem was followed by <i>Pollster.com</i>: if enough polls were available, it computed a locally weighted moving average or <a href="/wiki/Local_regression" title="Local regression">LOESS</a>. </p><p>While adopting such an approach in his own analysis, Silver reasoned that there was additional information available in polls from "similar" states that might help to fill the gaps in information about the trends in a given state. Accordingly, he adapted an approach that he had previously used in his <a href="/wiki/PECOTA" title="PECOTA">baseball forecasting</a>: using <a href="/wiki/Nearest_neighbor_search" title="Nearest neighbor search">nearest neighbor analysis</a> he first identified "most similar states" and then factored into his electoral projections for a given state the polling information from "similar states". He carried this approach one step further by also factoring national polling trends into the estimates for a given state. Thus, his projections were not simply based on the polling trends in a given state. </p><p>Furthermore, a basic intuition that Silver drew from his analysis of the <a href="/wiki/2008_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries" title="2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries">2008 Democratic party primary elections</a> was that the voting history of a state or Congressional district provided clues to current voting. This is what allowed him to beat all the pollsters in his forecasts in the Democratic primaries in <a href="/wiki/2008_North_Carolina_Democratic_primary" class="mw-redirect" title="2008 North Carolina Democratic primary">North Carolina</a> and <a href="/wiki/2008_Indiana_Democratic_primary" class="mw-redirect" title="2008 Indiana Democratic primary">Indiana</a>, for example.<sup id="cite_ref-Poblano_Model_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Poblano_Model-14"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Using such information allowed Silver to come up with estimates of the vote preferences even in states for which there were few if any polls. For his general election projections for each state, in addition to relying on the available polls in a given state and "similar states", Silver estimated a "<i>538</i> <a href="/wiki/Regression_analysis" title="Regression analysis">regression</a>" using historical voting information along with <a href="/wiki/Demography" title="Demography">demographic</a> characteristics of the states to create an estimate that he treated as a separate poll (equivalent to the actually available polls from that state). This approach helped to stabilize his projections, because if there were few if any polls in a given state, the state forecast was largely determined by the <i>538</i> regression estimate. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Transparency_of_pollster_ratings">Transparency of pollster ratings</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=FiveThirtyEight&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Transparency of pollster ratings"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On June 6, 2010, <i>FiveThirtyEight</i> posted pollster rankings that updated and elaborated Silver's efforts from the 2008 election.
