Standings HTML Page Question

aphoward · 12-17-2003, 01:39 AM

Just trying to figure out what the "Pyt.Rec" and Differential Stats are on the main standings page generated by ootp5. Any help is much appreciated.

Where else would you want them to go?

Pyt.Rec is pythagorean record, a statistical measure of what a teams record should be based on runs scored and runs allowed.
Differential is the difference between the teams actual record and its pythagorean calculated record.

The Pythagorean Theorem - (James)

As anyone might surmise, there is a strong correlation between runs scored/runs allowed and wins/losses. This equation expresses that correlation reasonably accurately. Rarely do teams exceed or subordinate the theorem by more than 3 wins. When they do, it's usually do to either luck or the bullpen, which in baseball terms, are sometimes synonymous. Anyway, the equation is:

(runs scored * runs scored)/((runs scored * runs scored) + (runs allowed * runs allowed))

The result will give you the team's winning percentage, or at least what it should be based on how many runs they've scored and allowed.

He didn't say anything about where they were, just asked what they were.

Some feel that an exponent of 1.81 is slightly more accurate than just squaring the numbers.

In any case, James has further refines it as:

EXPONENT=1.5*log(Runs Per Game for Both Teams+.45)

Please enlighten me as to how "both teams" has anything to do with one teams Pyth record.
