EPTI mean you can get different sets of last 30 games from the same player that provide wildly different results all day.
So what is this data for exactly?

I really enjoy the idea of your project and it's an entertaining read overall. | ||

Either that or something to do with the types of builds, e.g., it is beneficial to build multiple gateways all at once to sync up with warpgate research, meaning you have to temporarily float money. But I can't conclude that without more data. As day9 pointed out on several occasions, if you start to float money which you need for your next warpin cycle, you should not instead buy structures you cannot really afford yet, since it will result in worse macro. Otherwise, by the time your warpin cycle comes you dont have enough money for units, and more structures than you can support. This is a common macro error for protoss, and it will boost the SQ. Average unspent money will be lower if you instantly buy another gateway as soon as you have the money, and sq is not measuring your supply whatsoever. But while this might be an explanation why lower level players can get relatively high SQ sometimes I doubt that this will be an explanation for differences at the pro level, where all the builds are usually more refined.. I'd rather suspect the latter possibility you mentioned, that for protoss, consistent builds tend to sacrifice spending efficiency for some reason. | ||

PVP is exclusively 1-base. Your spending quotient will therefore suck. In PvZ and PvT games, is pros' spending quotient comparable? -Cross | ||

In PvZ and PvT games, is pros' spending quotient comparable? -Cross SQ would actually be higher in that case because the games are short and on 1-base, making it "easier" to spend all your money (more likely just because the builds are mapped out better than in say 30 minute 6 base games, no getting maxed, etc.) Also, theoretically it would be possible to account for the differences in macro mechanics between races but the analysis would be quite computationally expensive and a real pain in the ass. Not sure if it'd be possible. | ||

I agree with what some have said, I think the warp-in mechanic will have inherently lower SQ for Protoss because the unspent resources will be higher in-between warp-ins. I'm sure that's something you'll look into. | ||

I'm not totally versed in stats. My major, bio, mostly flirts with them. Still, I wonder why did you choose exclusively two-tailed t-tests? As I say, I'm far from expert, so take my questions as questions if you take them at all. | ||

i imagine SQ numbers can really depend the player's style however... the builds, and mistakes in small lapses where someone macros poorly for a couple minutes. i woould personally like to see average game length also! and maybe the matchups at some point in time  | ||

If I may, you shouldn't compare players of different races to each other because because each race's economies function too differently. For example, a Protoss with 10 gateways late game is always going to float a lot of money between warp ins whereas Terran's barracks should be constantly queued, thus keeping their money consitently low. You'll notice this reason might explain why the Protoss in your study are scoring lower than the others. | ||

Btw, while we all know some just abuse apm, even on top level there are the so called useless clicks, do you think there is some way to link apm in 'real' battles to some sort of overall performance, and perhaps as some kind of minor indicator? and i agree with the post just before me, i think you cant just compare races crosswise, since different ways of spending apply. | ||
