I tried to vote for Auburn, but I swear they're not listed.

Thanks for pointing it out

Fixed. It was a weird edge issue that I fixed

In other words, Go Bears!

They’re as deserving as many other teams.

In other words, Go Bears!

don't know if I'd call them an imposter

maybe a secret admirer?

Did you figure out a new formula for ranking how divergent people are?

by Missing Barry on Sep 13, 2010 6:36 PM PDT reply actions

No. I have until Wednesday. Any suggestions? I want to avoid doing it by hand and thus bringing in bias

In other words, Go Bears!

How have you been doing it so far?

by Missing Barry on Sep 13, 2010 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Well it’s sort of crappy..

Basically for each of the team in the final top-25 I do abs(position in user’s ballot – actual position)/actual position. And then I add up all the difference. I forgot why the division is there. And then I sort from highest to lowest.

In other words, Go Bears!

Ha that’s exactly what I was going to suggest, except I wouldn’t divide by the actual position. Do you do it in excel? Are you really just looking for a way to automate it?

by Missing Barry on Sep 14, 2010 2:45 PM PDT up reply actions

No it’s a PHP script with some SQL queries

In other words, Go Bears!

by royrules22 on Sep 14, 2010 6:04 PM PDT up reply actions

Instead of dividing by actual position, shouldn’t you divide by say, the standard deviation?

by atomsareenough on Sep 14, 2010 4:49 PM PDT up reply actions

I’ll try that, thanks

In other words, Go Bears!
