Not as a nag, but sometime within the thread, could you 'splain more, jpb, re the numbers I'm seeing? Trust me, I don't doubt you.
Sure thing, osso. Bright and early tomorrow when my brain starts working again.
Actually, that particular stat is just the average of the weekly 'place' scores (first place, second place, etc). Ragman had first, third, and fourth place finishes for the three weeks. Those scores average out to 2.67 with a standard deviation (measure of how much scatter or variability there is around the average number by the individual values) of 1.53. Simply put, that means that the individual numbers tend to be within 1.5 of the average. Now, my place finishes for the three weeks are 23rd, 7th, and 10th which average out to 13.33 with a deviation of 8.5, indicating that my scores have been all over the place. Someone else could have finished in 13th, 13th, and 14th place and have the same 13.33 average but the standard deviation would only be 0.58 meaning they are much more consistent than I am. Clear as mud?
Thank you all for the kudos. It's why you're paying me the big bucks. I've got some ideas for further down the road to post some individual stats but I need to figure out how to post graphs first.
