ties in factors

[ginag2]

For modeling purposes: Which factors most often produce tied ranking readouts - and which factors rarely (or never) produce tied readouts?

I'd love to have a "most-to-least" order - as I'm trying to quantify the proportional value of a "1" or a "2" (or a "3") across the many factors in the program. (I'll work in average payoffs later).

Thanks - Gary

Hi Gary. That would depend on your contender and paceline selections.

Hi Gary
V/DC and any P.O.R. (pace of race) factors for me always produced the most ties followed by BL/BL (bottom line betting line)

Thanks for the responses.

Certainly in any individual race the choice of pace-lines will make a difference. I was referring more (as in Richie's response) to an overall stat over the span of a large number of races. Which factors does the program show as least-often tied.

Was just trying for a quick consensus opinion - I can go in and extract the data from stored races. Thanks again. - Gary

Gary, off-hand I'd say Total Energy and TPR usually have distinct ranks most often though not 100%.



Also off hand, CSR has more distinct ranks than BL and VDC or any of the PoR based ranks, and is NOT based on a single paceline.



CR+ ranks should be almost ALWAYS distinct, also not based on paceline.



PW% tote factor ranks should be almost 100% distinct, also unrelated to paceline.


ML Odds is usually pretty distinct in rank.

Thanks Ted - much appreciated. - Gary
