London 2012 True Adjusted Medal Rank
- patrickmclaren 14y agoWhy did you add the word "True" to the title?
- maxprogram 14y agoTo further distinguish from an earlier HN post that also mentioned adjusted medal rank.
- patrickmclaren 14y agoWell, any adjusted medal rank is synthetic, so declaring one as true is quite arbitrary.
- Someone 14y agoLies, damned lies, etc. In particular, sorting by excess medals favors large countries a lot. For example, can you imagine Grenada or Cyprus to win 10 excess medals? I would compute actual/expected, not actual-expected as the measure.
