    Cacarulo: Adjusting Insurance in 6D

    Same concept as above and again using Hi-Lo:

    Generic = +3.01 (+3.0)

    A = -0.32 (-0.3) 
    T = +0.13 (+0.1)
    Z = -0.13 (-0.1)
    L = +0.04 (0.0)


    In 6D the difference between the correct index and the adjusted index is narrower than in 2D. I would say that it's insignificant.
    Let's see:

    A,A v A = +2.38 (3.01 - 0.32 - 0.32 = +2.37) 
    A,Z v A = +2.57 (3.01 - 0.32 - 0.13 = +2.56)
    A,L v A = +2.73 (3.01 - 0.32 + 0.04 = +2.73)
    T,T v A = +3.28 (3.01 + 0.13 + 0.13 = +3.27)
    T,A v A = +2.82 (3.01 + 0.13 - 0.32 = +2.82)
    T,Z v A = +3.01 (3.01 + 0.13 - 0.13 = +3.01)
    T,L v A = +3.18 (3.01 + 0.13 + 0.04 = +3.18)
    Z,Z v A = +2.76 (3.01 - 0.13 - 0.13 = +2.75)
    Z,L v A = +2.92 (3.01 - 0.13 + 0.04 = +2.92)
    L,L v A = +3.09 (3.01 + 0.04 + 0.04 = +3.09)


    A,A,T,T v A = +2.62 (+2.63) 
    T,5,9,6 v A = +3.09 (+3.05)


    Very interesting study! Thanks Fuzzy Math.

    Cacarulo: T5 v A simulated

    > Hand cd index hl corr.
    > T-5 2.31357 .780184

    I've simulated this particular play to a precision of one decimal (I can't do it with more than one) and got for 1D:

    T5 v A = +2.4 which is closer to +2.38 (+2.375) than to +2.31.

    If the problem is not in the EORs then you should look somewhere into your program. I've run out of ideas

    Zenfighter: Re:No bugs at all

    As a general rule EoR's derived indexes do not take into account cut card effects (penetration). Any estimate you can get while using them, no matter amount gained (see TOB, my working agenda), efficiencies or other things, are linear estimates that aren't trustful for small subsets of cards in which the optimal decision may differ greatly from its best linear estimate.

    With this in mind, simulated indexes seem to be better ones, among other things because they tend to be rounded to whole numbers, a lot easier for players to memorize and use them appropiately.

    The only problem we have here, as Prof. Griffin correctly pointed, is that the proper use of them, by rounding e.g., can contain as much as a 10% of error in playing decisions.

    Btw, there is no indexes-seller developed via montecarlo simulation, in his right state of mind, who doesn't claim the superiority of them over the algebraic ones.

    You have to give me at least, that the later ones are a lot cheaper!:-)

    Sincerely

    Z

    My indices for insurance were algebraically derived as well. I ran the sim just to see how good they are. So, what I'm trying to say is that we have a difference in the algebraic algorithm.

    Zenfighter: Re:With a pocket calculator, then

    m = -7.69231

    After removing t,5,a:

    m = -8.16326 reversing the sign:

    m = 8.16326

    inner product after removing dealer's and player's cards ?

    i = 90.04551

    t = 51/49 *((-1)+( 1)+( -1)) = -51/49

    p = sum of squares; after removing 3 cards, p = 37 (for hi-lo)

    So we have:

    mp/i + t= (8.16326*37)/90.04551 - (51/49) = 2.3135

    Note that a direct attack yields:

    (7.69231*40)/90.04551 - (51/49) = 2.3763

    That's easier, but not precisely better, IMHO.

    Your calculations are right. The problem is that Snyder's formula (mp/i+t) have been proven to be not correct. You might want to try with Moss algebraic formula instead.

    T5 v A = +2.4 which is closer to +2.36
    (+2.357) than to +2.31.

    Cac, I read the thread at bjmath a while back ago. I accept that the methodology is fine,
    (a little akward for my taste), but I haven't see any motives so far to change my mind, not with indexes, where rounding approximations can take the money, as you know.

    Admitedly, Ted's spreadsheet is marvellous, a multiparameter treasure!

    Well, if you're satisfied with the approximations then I can't argue with that. At least you have been warned

    I haven't done a comparison between the two methods so I can't tell you exactly where the big differences are. I know for example that Snyder's formula doesn't work with unbalanced systems like TKO.

    Cac

    Thanks for all, Cac.
