Fifteenth, I have plenty of opinions about all the math-related posts on this message board (and I'm a hardcore grammar Nazi too, but that's another story), but I mostly try to keep my mouth [keyboard] shut, because it seems like I rub the majority of the people here the wrong way.
Nevertheless ...
I will go out on a limb one more time by stating this:
1. Kammrath, I love ya, man, but ...
2. I agree sooooooooooooooooooooo much with mvossman's "mind boggling" statement (see above).
Thanks HM! I remembered that I had asked you about your professional background after enjoying your math posts. I'm a math guy myself, just not a probability and statistics guy.
Oh, and I think it's best not to think too much about what the forum things.
I'd have to ditch lots of my posts if I was concerned about that. So, you're not in to raw +/-. That's not surprising.
But what do you think about stats like Lebron, which try to bake the noise out of +/-? Any thoughts on that?
I personally like lineup data over extended periods of time. Not that I think I'm qualified to do much with it, but it's fun to look at, try to think through it...come up with some kind of amature analysis.
Not very astute ^^^^
