Can I please have your input?
« on: August 18, 2011, 08:06:43 AM »
If I were to plot a trend with the month of the year starting in March and ending in August on the x-axis, and how many games we think we might win on the y-axis, what would that look like?  Positive slope I suspect.

It seems like we've become more optimistic the last couple weeks.  Just curious if this is normal, maybe we're excited for the season, full of hope, and memories of previous letdowns (i.e. Baylor and CU last year) are less remembered.  Maybe this hope is warranted.  Just curious how YOU feel.

I've improved my outlook by one game since the whole Miami thing broke out, but I'm not entirely sure I should have.

mine will be a flat line across the base of the graph until the point we pull Sams' redshirt and then it will jump to the top of the page of paper and there will be another page of paper taped to the top of the original page with the line going to the top of the second page ending with an arrow pointing up and labled "infinity"

Statistical outliers.

That's a thing, right?

Historically, I believe the phenomenon you describe can be be summed up as follows:

stevedave's piecewise function sounds about right.
