Combinations & % Error ChallengeReply
Hi, Yes time*treat, I write code. The point of calculating the combinations for each filter type is to select the best combination of filters. Basically getting the Biggest Bang For Your Buck . That would be reducing the most combinations possible with the least amount of error. Sometimes I feel that I am the only one that understands that error is multiplicative. And that you can filter yourself out of winning anything if you don't pay attention to the amount of error in your system.

Combinations & % Error Challenge
Hi, The Challnge is to reduce the most combinations with the least amount of error. The game type will be 5/39. Obviously, any lessons learned would be applicable to MegaMillions, Powerball, and CA Superlotto. To kick things off, consider the following: 1) There are 575757 combinations in 5/39. 2) By eliminating 1 number, any number, there is a 1 in 39 percent chance that you are wrong ( 3%). 3) Assuming the one number you eliminated isn't picked, then you are playing a 5/38

Error CorrectionReply
RJOh, I totally agree, error correction in your forcasting model is very important. This is something that has hardly been addessed here at the LP. I've been able to put together something at the number level, but not at the combination level..... As most of you know I use a filter approach. Invariably, 1 or more of the filters is in error to the actual draw. So what I've done is rated the numbers after filtering. By tracking the rating I've found certain values keep coming up over and over...

even odd questionReply
apagogas.That sure would be a great feature in your progam, knowing the error percentages and the greater likely hood of some filter criteria when making your choices.

even odd questionReply
We can't eliminate any odd/even pattern easily.The important thing to notice is that some parrerns have much better chance to appear than others. In a 6/49 game these are:OOEOEO, OEOOEO, OEOEOO, OEOEOE, OEOEEO, OEEOEO, EOEOEOThe above 7 patterns (out of 64 total) have a 2.12% chance to occur.On the other hand, there are patterns that have much less chance to occur. These are:EEEEEE - 0.96%21 patterns provide 1.27% chance to occurand the remaining patterns have 1.65% chance to occur.Your error is

SunTribeWhat an excellent First Post and I hope the precursor to many more!Warm regardsColinnb There was an error (null) thrown up when printing which Todd may want to look into.

Here are some information about parameters used in the settings. Found on Wikipedia. Network Parameters - Wikipedia Network Parameters There are a number of different parameters that must be decided upon when designing a neural network. Among these parameters are the number of layers, the number of neurons per layer, the number of training iterations, et cetera. Some of the more important parameters in terms of training and network capacity are the number of hidden neurons, the learning

Hi Lottolot, Thanks for your reply and I shall bear in mind it is the trial and error. My doubt is when running the NN Picks which column should I look ? The Total Error or Average Error to pick my out picks? My lotto is a 6/45 with 2 bonus numbers and yesterday I made my data files using the tips from the forum having 9 past draws without bonus and 30 with bonus numbers. After the draw took place last night I could check my games produced from the program and it really works to predict 4

RandomLogic's line # combinations algorithmReply
Here's some functions we use in Excel; with a reverse function for finding a combination from a combinatorial index. If you copy and paste what's between the horizontal lines in to an Excel VB Module, you'll have these available as functions in Excel. Good Luck __________________________________________________ Function Fact(ByVal n As Integer) As Double On Error GoTo exitfunction If (n = 1) Then Fact = 1 Else Fact = n * Fact(n - 1) End If Exit Function ex
