The ThoroughMetrics Blog: November 2008
http://thoroughmetrics.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2008. The calculations I discussed in my last post may have been based on some faulty assumptions about how sire statistics are reported. Can anybody answer the following question.When BRIS presents statistics on 'leading second crop sires', are they including data only on the horses that are actually part of the sire's second crop, or data on both the first and second crop children of sires whose second crop are currently racing? Wednesday, November 26, 2008. In any case, the num...

The ThoroughMetrics Blog: Changes In Behavior
http://thoroughmetrics.blogspot.com/2008/12/first-study-i-did-for-thoroughmetrics.html
Thursday, December 4, 2008. A similar problem exists with any data on the return on investment (ROI) of any handicapping system. Data gathered on the ROI will only be predictive as long as handicappers as a group don't change how they make decisions about how to allocate their money to horses with various characteristics. So although ROI is what the handicapper ultimately cares about, it is also one of the least stable measures to look at. Thursday, December 04, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
