Do you suppose this is created so that the referee can pass judgment on his opinion? 18 hours ago, arnieg said: I think it would be sufficient just to exclude heat 2 - the Poles used to do that a few years ago. Another thing we might borrow from them is to throw away highest and lowest scores before calculating averages which makes manipulation more difficult. Yes, this is the median, not the average. In statistics, there is a great deal of attention paid to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it isn't. the median is the mid-point, excluding top and bottom will not alter the median, but they will alter the mean. As you exclude more and more scoes (top and bottom two, then top and bottom three etc) the average will converge on the median, but just excluding one does not turn it into the median .e.g. scores of 6,9,9,10,10,10,10 Median = 10 Mean = 9.14 Average excluding outliers = 9.6 Average excluding two outliers = 9.67 Average excluding 3 outliers = 10 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought it was fairly obvious, the less matches that count the more GSA can be manipulated. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i expect he is already fixed up with you by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
