interpretation of statistics
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 9:09 pm
I have noticed that in some video games there is a statistic of rank from 1 to 4 with 1 being the best and 4 the worst. It is arrived at by awarding 1 pt for a 1st place win, 2 pts for a 2nd place finish ,etc,etc, and dividing by the # of games played. For example, suppose you played 10 games and won 4 of them, came in 2nd place twice, 3 times in 3rd place, and 1 time in 4th place. Your rank would be calculated as follows;
1st place 4 times x 1 pt = 4
2nd place 2 times x 2 pts = 4
3rd place 3 times x 3 pts = 9
4th place 1 time x 4 pts = 4 this adds up to 21 pts and dividing by 10 games played yields a rank of 2.1
If you have seen this before, what is the significance of this number?
Question 2: Almost all video games list the total number of hands played, your winning rate (tsumo/ron), and your "getting ronned" rate (houjuu- dealing into an opponents hand). For example, suppose over the course of 100 games, you played 1000 hands, won 350 of them (35%) and got "ronned" 150 times (15%).
Is this average? good? very good? excellent? It would seem that in a 4 player game, the average would be 25% for each player. Whats your opinion?
And as for the 15% getting "ronned", same question? When you are in riichi and have no control over your discards, you are bound to get "ronned" some of the time, so is 15% a good rate? bad? excellent? Whats your opinion?
1st place 4 times x 1 pt = 4
2nd place 2 times x 2 pts = 4
3rd place 3 times x 3 pts = 9
4th place 1 time x 4 pts = 4 this adds up to 21 pts and dividing by 10 games played yields a rank of 2.1
