Hello Dave, > I'm not a proper statistician, but I believe there's a > crucial second step that's missing in your analysis of > significance.
You are right in the sense that I was not precise enough in my statement. Here comes a new attempt. I have three players A, B, C. A plays four times against C, score 3-1 (for A). B plays four times against C, score 0-4 (from B's point of view). If A and B would have the same strength against C then a result like above (score difference 7 or higher) would happen with pobability around 5 %. If A were weaker than B, than the probability would be even smaller. So, I make a statement only for A=MFoG with MCTS and rule 42 B=MFoG with MCTS with static komi C=MFoG old version (without MC, strength around 12k) for some specific high value of handicap. So, no general statement like "dynamic komi helps always in computer go". Ingo. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
