Consistency and Pythagoras
نویسنده
چکیده
Pythagorean win share has been one of the fundamental contributions to Sabermetrics. Several hundred articles, both academic and non-academic, have explored variations on Bill James’ original formula and its fit to empirical data. This paper considers a variation that is previously unexplored on any systematic level, consistency. After discussing several important contributions to the line of literature, we demonstrate the strong correlation between Pythagorean residuals and several notions of run distribution consistency. Finally, we select the “correct” form of consistency and use it to construct a simple regression estimator, which improves RMSE by 11%.

The Pythagoras number of real sum of squares polynomials and sum of square magnitudes of polynomials
In this paper, we conjecture a formula for the value of the Pythagoras number for real multivariate sum of squares polynomials as a function of the (total or coordinate) degree and the number of variables. The conjecture is based on the comparison between the number of parameters and the number of conditions for a corresponding low-rank representation. This is then numerically verified for a nu...
متن کاملBounds on the Pythagoras number of the sum of square magnitudes of complex polynomials
This paper presents lower and upper bounds on the Pythagoras number of sum of square magnitudes of complex polynomials using well-known results on a system of quadratic polynomial equations. Applying this method, a new proof for the upper bound of the Pythagoras number of real polynomials is also presented.
متن کاملNonextensive Pythagoras' Theorem
Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy, in cases involving distributions resulting from relative-entropy minimization, has a celebrated property reminiscent of squared Euclidean distance: it satisfies an analogue of the Pythagoras’ theorem. And hence, this property is referred to as Pythagoras’ theorem of relative-entropy minimization or triangle equality and plays a fundamental role in geometrical ...
متن کاملOn the Pythagoras numbers of real analytic set germs
We show that: (i) the Pythagoras number of a real analytic set germ is the supremum of the Pythagoras numbers of the curve germs it contains, and (ii) every real analytic curve germ is contained in a real analytic surface germ with the same Pythagoras number (or Pythagoras number 2 if the curve is Pythagorean). This gives new examples and counterexamples concerning sums of squares and positive ...
متن کاملTo string together six theorems of physics by Pythagoras theorem
In this paper, we point out that there are at lest six theorems in physics sharing common virtue of Pythagoras theorem, so that it is possible to string these theorems together with the Pythagoras theorem for physics teaching, the six theorems are Newton’s three laws of motion, universal gravitational force, Coulomb’s law, and the formula of relativistic dynamics . Knowing the internal relation...
