Sheep Week Two: Answers due Friday at 12

[WindyCityDeac]

i've always thought it would be interested to normalize scores each week such that the winner was at 100

would account for fluctuations in participation and give context to historically bad performances (or historically large margins of victory)

So SRC+ (Sheep Responses Created +).

I love it. Very Sabermetric view

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

The winner would be 100 or the weekly possible perfect score would be a hundred?

i'm not a stats guy so i'd hear arguments for either, but my instinct is that the winner is 100

I'm just glad to be here. Hope I can help the ball club. Gonna take it one day at a time and, Good Lord willin', things'll work out.

Didn't OGB do that back in the day when he was running the in-depth season-long stuff? My memory fails me.

I think perfect score should be 100 so that we can see how well the winner did compared to history

 

[DeacsATS]

You morons can't even remember when we repeat questions from a year or two ago... Now you want to statistically analyze scores across different Sheep eras? GTFO

Yeah. Score/Highest score of each question.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

one thing that i don't know if it really matters (see: not a stats guy) is that a "perfect score" on a week where someone doesn't get all #1 answers means that had they put the #1 answer on that/those question(s) then the "perfect score" would be higher

@TownieDeac , get to work on this.

 

[TownieDeac]

No

 

[TownieDeac]

No sheep next week, I’m at the beach. Enjoy yourselves.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

I believe 100 should be average, an SRC+ of 120 would be 20% above average. an SRC+ of 80 would be considered 20% below average.

The tricky part is making sure SRC+ is both Era and Shepherd adjusted.

Nice!!! Bye Week!!!!

 

[Dali Llama]

Hm, I'll try to think of a visualization around this to make Windy feel bad every week.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

How many standard deviations below the mean was Windy's performance this week ?

Can we get a box and whisker plot to demonstrate as well?

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Bye week couldn’t have come at a better time, we got some guys banged up that can really use the rest

Winning when it's a low scoring week (assuming similar number of entries) is actually more impressive right? It means that there weren't as many slam dunk questions.

Weird to wrap my head around, but tigerswood's performance to win this week is probably more impressive than last week even though he scored considerably lower.

have you kept up on my personal life?
i already feel bad every week.

right, the "hardest" win is one where there a lot of entrants and a low score

and as the season progresses, people stop playing, so winning week 10 doesn't earn you as many season points as winning week 1

Are we sure windy understands the goal of sheep?
