The new issue of HANA Monthly is out and includes a great article by Barry Meadow titled Statistics and Garbage.

--quote:

"A trainer wins 18% first off the claim. A handicapping system hits 29 % winners.

A jockey's year to date win percentage is 6%.

Will any of these stats, or others, help your bottom line?

Or will they simply mislead you?"

IMHO, this article should be required reading for anyone doing data mining.
