Knowing what I have to work with

Published:

So, the script produces 2 separate categories of stats.

1. Statistics of the draw sample (150 draws)

These include the variance, standard deviation, the quartiles Q1 (to set the lower classification threshold), Q2 (the median) and Q3 (to set the higher classification threshold), and after the next few days, the chi square statistic and it's P value

2. Statistics of the digits (0 through 9)

These are made up of raw frequency, percentage of appearances within the 150 draws, the classifier (Hot, Neutral or Cold), and the number of draws since it last appeared.

Now I have to figure out how to properly interpret what is shown, there are variants that have to be updated (like the last 4 windows or the back test script, and the Cash 4 Life variants as well)

The back test MUST be run to see the difference between all neutral draws per window using quartiles as a classifier vs the already run version that used standard deviation from expectancy as the classifier.

My V4 on the first script (v2 to switch to quartiles, and v3 to add the number of draws since last appearance) will add the chi-square goodness of fit stats. Once that is done, it is a simple paste of that function into the other pick N variants, and because I saved all versions, I only have to modify one of the Cash 4 Life scripts and paste the functions for the rest, that being the last 4 and the back test.

I will have to spend a few weeks figuring out if any stat has bearing on which digit to choose and why... getting down to the wire, there is $14 left on the house money voucher, so Thursday is most likely the last week before I begin picking up the tab again. A single straight win between now and next Wednesday means the state picks up the tab for the rest of the year... no pressure...

The PA lottery does not seem to like whatever numbers I play as of late...

The odds are high, the budget is low, still entertaining to make these attempts once a week rather than every draw, so I believe I will stick with this one longer than the past attempts (I would have already been done with the older systems.).

To Quote Sonny & Cher, The beat goes on...
