Re: paper: A Statistical Analysis of the Success of New England FRC Robotics Teams

I went back and looked through the document and was really surprised at my spellchecker. It caught 0 of the misspellings. That's actually really concerning...

I always go and read my whole paper before I turn it in. For this one, I read the whole thing out loud a number of times before turning it in. Reading through now word by word I am finding the misspellings, but I didn't catch any of them before. Thanks for pointing it out, and I'm really sorry that it made the paper difficult to read.

For the data points that I removed, all of them were statistical outliers, not just random data points that didn't fit the trend. I actually had a long conversation with my teacher about whether or not I should remove them.

The fact that team budget didn't appear correlated with OPR really surprised me as well.

In general I was hoping to work a lot more with the data, but I was limited by a time constraint on the project. Now that it's the summer I may do some more work with it.

In a few minutes I will replace the error filled copy with one that contains none (I hope).

EDIT: I found that the document language had been set to none and so spell check wasn't working...
