  • How Well They Play the Game
    How Well They Play the Game by Ken Cale 1 The Concept What do you want to know? What is the best way to rate a baseball player? The goal in baseball is for the team to win, so the best way to rate a player is by how much he contributes to winning games. This is simple in concept but in practice it becomes a daunting task to objectively rate players this way. So what most player rating systems will do is have one or more people make a subjective judgment about players, vote on the rankings, then average out the votes to create the final rankings. But rating players this way is just an opinion, and it isn‟t surprising that they show widely different results. There‟s no specific set of criteria used to create these rankings, so we don‟t even know what they mean. There are, however, objective rating systems, which include both offense and defense, that estimate how much players contribute to winning games. The oldest of these is the total player rating (TPR), the concept first introduced in 1984 by Pete Palmer and John Thorn2. The TPR was a great first step in generating a logical, mathematically based system, but there are significant flaws in the method that produce some very questionable ratings. The best system in place today that rates players total contribution to winning games in my opinion is Win Shares1, developed by Bill James, which assigns shares of the team‟s actual wins to individual players. Win shares is a dramatic improvement to the TPR and gives a reasonably accurate measure of a player‟s value… that is his contribution to winning games.

    COMPLEX DYNAMICS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY: LANGUAGE, CITIES, COLLABORATION, AND BASEBALL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Samuel Arbesman August 2008 © 2008 Samuel Arbesman COMPLEX DYNAMICS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY: LANGUAGE, CITIES, COLLABORATION, AND BASEBALL Samuel Arbesman, Ph. D. Cornell University 2008 A few areas of human activity are examined here, using a number of different types of mathematical and computational models. First, we examine networks of five languages of the world, with their connectivity derived from the sounds of the words in these languages. We explore the graph-theoretic properties of these networks, finding that these phonological language networks have common properties, and are in turn topologically distinct from other types of complex networks observed in the literature. In addition, we discuss what these common properties imply for how we process language and why natural language is structured the way it is. In addition, by examining the networks of English and Spanish, we explain a surprising difference in processing that was uncovered in some recent experiments, and discuss some more general implications of competition or facilitation between different modes of cognition. We next explore a more macro-scale area of human activity: cities. Superlinear scaling in cities, which appears in sociological quantities such as economic productivity and creative output relative to urban population size, has been observed but not been given a satisfactory theoretical explanation. We provide a model for the superlinear relationship between population size and innovation found in cities, with a reasonable range for the exponent.
