Hey guys, I have an assignment for AP Stat. It's kind of an introductory thing, and the teacher asked us to find an article dealing with stuff like randomization, experiments and stuff related to this course. She also told us to pick an article that contains things that we were very interested in. Obviously, I thought an article about Starcraft would be great. I tried to look up some articles here, but I couldn't really find stuff that would be great for the class. Can someone tell me the link to an article that maybe had to do with map balance, or race statistics or something like that? I would also like it if you had taken the course before, but that doesn't really matter. Thanks again.

There were extensive experiments carried out by TLers to determine the exact miss-chance when firing to high ground -BW obv -, you should be able to find them with some searching. Then again, thats just firing thousands of shots, and seeing how many hit, the most basic of probability/statistical experiments, maybe you'd be looking for something more... elegant, but its a start.

#edit: There, I found it for you.

Define 'article.' You are probably not going to find a REAL article on this topic...

It's fun to try to link a creative assignment in school to sc but rarely viable in my experience.
Thanks Epoxide for all your help. Without you I never would have figured out how to install that boost gauge into my car.

Do you mean by article a journal article, a magazine article or even a simple article post on a forum?

http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/hubin1/Documents/Boorse,%20Christopher%20-%20Health%20as%20a%20Theoretical%20Concept.pdf

you can read this article, we had to do it in our medsci class last year.
it discusses the theoretical concept of health as a function of statistical normality such that a disease itself cannot be classified as such without sufficient criteria where statistical normality alone does not provide enough epistemic value to be considered accurate.

just in case the link above doesn't work, google up:

I mean just about any kind of writing, like one of the OSL, MSL, or Proleague write-ups on here. The teacher stressed it had to be an article about something we were interested in

Most of the contributions from TLer's don't deal with randomization or proper experimentation. Most community contribution is just gathering data and stating summary statistics, nothing that constitutes real statistics work.

I've actually been looking for a Starcraft related idea to do my master's project (in statistics) on, but honestly it's hard to get data that is interesting enough to do statistical comparisons on. Blizzard data isn't easy to get a hold of.

If you're looking for randomization/experimentation opportunities, I would think about testing build order efficiency or mining rates for different builds or something of that nature. That would get you data with variability that you could show have hypothesis tests for.

I don't think you are going to find much in the way of meaningful articles.

Mip, that is exactly the type of article i want. Something with gathering data and stating summary statistics. It is fine by me, we're pretty much just starting the course.

OK. Why not go look into some sort of psychology research paper? It will be easy to read and understand (as all psychology papers), and it will utilize some sort of simple statistical method. Plus you are quoting from current reseach so you will look and sound smart.

wtf ?

what are the other guys linking

just go for protoss/terran/zerg win rates on osl's, msl's, and 2-win streaks or 3-win streaks, or just finals

thats enough to make a decent contingency table

OSL Stats

You could also use the Ladder Analysis Part 2 thread, in dealing with randomness as it relates to playing skill (standard deviation). Not sure if that's useful to you.
