Buyout Pool Results (unaudited)1) Sample Size:
n=60
(Note: I excluded two data points. On February 28th, 2011 one poster predicted a buyout date of February 28th, 2011. For objectivity reasons, I also excluded my submission.)
2) Buyout Price Prediction
Median = $5.55
Mean = $5.73
3) Buyout Date Prediction
Median = July 30, 2011
Mean = August 3, 2011
[Dates: Caveat1: I want to do a little analysis to ensure that the 'math' on the averaging and median'ing' a list of dates works as hoped, SO, those dates may be off -- although they look reasonable enough. Caveat2: Because we had two (respectable posters Mriggs and ggrellette) predict a CUU buyout in 2012, I would have thought that the Mean would have been a little later as compared to the Median of July 30th. Hence my desire to double check the Date algorithm and formula.]
Finally, as soon as I find some time, I'll put some frequency distribution plots together and post them up on Flickr for a peak-see for everyone -- along with the others. "Love" to all the different types of tennis players of the world.
