Data analysis


Recommended Posts

I have analyzed all historical scores since 2003 and have calculated average first score and average high score to predict final score based on the average increase from first to last.  2018 is the last time I predicted, but will do 2022 when all corps has a first score. I like data and it is just fun for me.  Interesting, when sorting on avg clean the top corps always clean the most from first score to high score.  The average clean is an average of the last 6 years, not the last 19 years.  That is why adding that to first score doesnt equal the average high or prediciton

Holy smoke. That's a lot of number crunching. Most of it looks real close between predicted and actual finish. 

Poor Troopers. Gone nowhere in all that time?

Interesting stuff. I enjoy number-crunching too. How did you get the Prediction and Actual columns? Is Prediction = The 2018 low score plus the Avg Clean?

Correct, I took the first score and added the average clean.  the average clean is the last 6 years of increase from first score to high score.  I did High score as half the corps score goes down in finals.  what is interesting is if you do the last 19 years instead of last 6 years there has been an increase in cleaning over time. In other words, corps are getting better at getting better

Yeah very hard to move up.  Most of it is the low first score.  Interesting that you have corps like Mandarins who jumped up a lot over the last 5 years.

Very interesting work. Thanks @Drumcorpdad62.

I am tempted to do an analysis on the impact of date of first performance on final placement.  In other words, do Corps that start competition earlier in season do better than Corps that start later?  Example this year would be Troopers starting competition 13 days after Pacific Crest & Academy, 10 days after Crossmen & a week after Colts & Madison.  Will they benefit from an initial score rewarding them for a complete & relativity clean show?   Or will it hurt them because they need to be wedged in somewhere & other Corps are more familiar to the judges.  Other years it would probably be other Corps that started earlier or later.

Math 😬

Musicians love math. On the old CompuServe Turbo Pascal forum, they asked everyone if they had any music training no matter how little. About 80% said they had and/or were still playing.
