Question about 'leagues' table that is exported

So I created a World with one ML, two International Leagues, and two Independent Leagues (with various levels of minors for the ML and INT leagues) and simulated about 30 years into the future to see how it evolved. I used the Traditional Player Creation Modifiers in an effort to set the leagues at different skill levels (something like 1.000 for the ML, and 0.8, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.5 for the other leagues respectively).

Anyways, I exported this data to CSV to examine, and some variables in the leagues.csv file caught my attention. Does anybody know what exactly the columns like "ml_equivalencies_xxx" (avg, hr, bb, etc) mean? It would make sense that these are just skill level indices to the ML (values are all 1 for the ML). And they come reasonably close to what I put in for the PCMs (1, 0.95, 0.73, 0.55, 0.55). I didn't do a great job controlling finances so it's reasonable to think they'd stray from what I intended initially. Can anyone confirm? Similarly, are the "avg_rating_xxx" (contact, gap, etc) just average ratings for all the players in the league?

Hope this is the right place to ask-thanks!

Also, first post, woot woot!
