RACE ANALYSIS
HOW THE ANALYSIS FUNCTIONS
Race data are corrected using Time-on-Time correction; the Time-on-Time multiplier is calculated within the program for each boat from the Time-on-Distance number. The program corrects each race and determines the handicap that would be required for each boat to tie the median finish time of each race. This is done for each race in a data set.
The median ASP for each boat is determined next. The median is used instead of the average
because it is less affected by `flukes' in the data and provides a more statistically sound performance number for small sample sizes.
STD DEV (Standard Deviation)
The Standard Deviation of each yacht performance is also calculated.
The Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the spread or variation in the individual yacht
performance race to race. A larger number means that the boat is inconsistent, a smaller number
means the boat performance is more consistent race to race and the data are probably more reliable.
Statistically, for a normal distribution, approximately 67% of the data occur within plus and minus 1 Standard Deviation, 95% in plus and minus 2 Standard Deviations, and approximately 99% in plus or minus 3 standard deviations.

For review of FBYC 2008 Results, Spring Series are races 1-6, Summer 1 Series are races 7-12, Summer 2 series are races 13-18, Regatta races are 26-30. Fall is a separate sheet due to the different fleet breakups.
