From: World Cup Ratings 2010 on 23 Apr 2010 14:09 During the last year, I have developed a statistical software - World Cup Ratings 2010 - that calculates probabilities for reaching the title, final, semi-final, etc. As a physicist with a phd in science I payed special attention to mathematical correctness. The software is - as far as I know - unique and has real chances in beating the odds. Based on Elo coefficients, all possible constellations are considered. Updates after games are possible, as well as fictive scenarios. It is also possible to examine the question haw far a second group place can increase the probability for the title win. The current chances are: Brazil: 16%, Spain: 15%, Netherlands: 14%, England: 10%. A comparison with odd quotas (quota = 1 / probability) has shown similarities but also differences stemming from group line-ups. It is freeware - needs however OpenOffice.org (also freeware) - and can be downloaded here: http://www.wikiupload.com/bgqM3oC9 or here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b13cb7f/n/WorldCupRatings2010v1.0.zip or here: http://www.file-upload.net/download-2455021/WorldCupRatings2010v1.0.zip.html Feel free to distribute it.:-) |
