"Question of the Week" #7 - Who likes random seeding? Is there a difference?
Posted on September 29, 2003 at 01:39:29 PM by Tiger



Here are examples from Miami and Milford, sandwiched around a theoretical 'random' expectation:

The chart is derived from the following data:

Miami
Winter/Spring 2002 - 3.110 games
Summer/Fall 2002 - 3,126 games
Winter/Spring 2003 - 3.124 games

Milford
1998 - 6,546 games
1999 - 6,442 games

You can clearly see that Miami falls closer to the 'theoretical' expectations, while the handicapper-driven Milford data resulted in a flatter distribution.
