  • Re: RPI 2013/14 Part III: Maximum Overdrivel

    Thanks for the shout out in the Union thread, Ralph. If I wer confident that most of them knew how to read a box plot, I would think my graph would help show why the mean is a bad way to report PIM. I didn't put the mean on the plot, but RPI (and a couple of other teams, including Union) have means above their third quartile.

      Apparently video is capable of lying in Schenectady. Or maybe Occam's Razor suggests to them that the most logical explanation is that RPI altered the tapes to show Bodie starting the whole thing with one of the cheapest of cheap shots and White Mike Tyson connecting with a shot to Bubela's head.

      And how can you not love the blowing off of statistical analysis based solely on the factor of the inability to understand it? Comedy gold. Almost everything Union does, from their banners to their banter, it almost seems like they want to be laughed at.
      Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

        Even if they can't read it, they should realize that RPI's box is typical for the league and not nearly the highest.

          If anything, they'd see the top point of their box and use that to show they're the least penalized team in the ECAC.

            By the way, we're all nerds for doing stat analysis and pointing out how most metrics are massively flawed. Just take that as a point of pride. Any time you use the term "standard deviation" it makes everyone go bonkers with accusations about how nerdy we are (here's me thinking it was a basic high school senior-level mathematics concept). Engineering onward!

              I could be wrong, but I do believe that Union has finally taken over as our top rival. We haven't had this kind of discussion involving Clarkson in ages.

                This has been the case for years. Also, Clarkson fans basically left the board, so they make their presumably foolish comments out of sight.

                Maybe that's why Union fans want to start their own message board. Always better to say dumb things in private than in public. One does wonder if all four of their fans are going to be participating, though.

                      This coming from someone who wanted to create an own board for RPI.

                        Not all of us, we just enjoy posting in other team's threads. Our comments may be foolish, but I think what I'm reading on the Union thread surpasses anything we could come up with.

                              No, I just have a good memory. And it's still within statute of limitations.

                                "Standard deviation" to us is a statistical term, elsewhere they merely have standards for how deviant they are as people....
