This is easily one of the best posts I have encountered on these forums. Very well done, laudable methodology and solid use of statistical analysis. As something of a science geek who has taken several statistics courses and encounters data in this format on a regular basis I really appreciate what you've done here! I will actually be using SQ as a metric to gauge my spending efficiency from here on out, as it seems like a largely reliable measure when averaged out across a decent sample.

I'd love to see comparisons between different regions (KR, EU, NA) at the highest levels. I'd also like to see if there are any systematic differences that might arise between the races on account of their different macro mechanics, though I realize neither one would be a simple task. Keep up the good work, between this and Skillcraft I'm getting pretty wiggly.

"Do you macro like a pro?"

Better than the average Grandmaster, with 85,2, but the system is flawed in so many ways.

If average unspent while being maxed could be removed it would help a lot.

God.. this makes me wish I'd taken some applied math classes at university. It's all well and good to be able to call yourself a pure mathematician... but....

I'm very impressed with your proposal for a macro skill proxy (no pun intended!). It's an intriguing framework in which to think.

This was extremely well thought out and interesting. Cant wait to get home and compare my own numbers to these graphs to find where I stand in comparison to the average player.

Utterly brilliant analysis, if there was a TL equivalent of the Nobel Prize, you should be nominated.

I can't see the pictures because of my school internet, but when I get home i'm sure I'll be impressed. This looks amazing, really really really well done.
What a great 500th post!

Brilliant post. One of the best i've read in awhile. Well done to you sir. Deserves every minute it gets spotlighted.

If you ever want to do this again for something and want some graphics done for the titles and such, drop me a PM. I'm a graphic designer .

So is 0.00137 the slope from the GM curves or bronze curve ?
Depending on what league you are, the formula you gave will yield different results whether you chose games with high income or not.
Can you evaluate the error at max on your SQ that you get from considering that all the lines are parallel ?

OK, first off the "Workers constructed by Grandmaster players of each race" is explained partly by gameplay for the zerg part but I would like to add that zerg players often loose workers to raids/harassment to a greater degree than terran or protoss. Secondly blizzard please implement the SQ figure so that we can estimate our own macro skill.

Seconded, this would provide a way to visualise your progress over an enormous time frame very quickly.
