Linear Weights primer

By Tangotiger

Michael does a good job at starting the reader from scratch. If you’ve been a bit confused by run expectancy and linear weights, perhaps this article will help you out.

Not that it makes much of a difference, I recommend this page for your run expectancy needs:
http://www.tangotiger.net/re24.html

It’s based on more data, the run environment isn’t as extreme as the oft-cited 1999-2002 page, and gives you extra charts too.
