Topic: New randomness setting in advanced options

1 Topic by 00oreo00
We just added a new setting that allows you to randomize projections in between lineup generation. There are 2 main benefits for using this setting. An easy way to think about how this setting works: if randomness is set to 3% the lineups generated will be approximately within 3% of optimal with the given constraints.

1. Increased randomness helps with getting increased variance between lineups.
2. The speed of the calculation increases as the randomness setting is turned up. This is especially helpful with DK NBA and decreasing run time when generating 50+ lineups.

Let us know what you think!

Best,

Can you elaborate on this a little? So I usually use 3-4 unique players per lineup to get the "randomness". How is this different than that? If a lineup must have 3-4 unique players compared to the previous lineup, doesn't this provide the randomness?
Unique players isn't "random", it tells the algorithm to look for lineups that are X players different from other lineups, it is a deterministic result. Randomness perturbs the projections x% after each lineup being calculated. This gives you non-deterministic results, aka slightly off-optimal results, for those that want it.
Does this mean if I click "generate" twice without changing anything, I would get different results with the randomness factor?
I believe so.
Is the % slider (randomness setting) related to how much the projections are changed? IOW, 50% is even less-optimal than, say, 15%?
It will be the "optimal" solution after the randomness is applied. So I'm not quite sure what you're asking. The percent just puts a cap on how much the projections can change.

I think this needs more clarity. I import my own projections. Let's say that my projection for Otto Porter last night was 31.67 points. If I select 10% randomness, will it project Porter within a 20% band around 31.67 (10% up, 10% down), a 10% band around 31.67 (5% up, 5% down), or something entirely different?

Your first assumption is correct. +/- within 10% (or whatever % you select)
So, is there a chance, with a large % of randomness, that a complete dud would be thrown into a lineup?

This is what I was asking as well. I figured this was the case (first assumption above), but the slider allows for any % so I wanted to make sure ... I can't imagine why anyone would use anything above ~10%, but it's a good feature.
Still a bit unclear on the randomness feature. Does it "re-randomize" a players projection after each individual lineup is generated or does it do a one time "randomization" at the beginning of each round of lineup generation.

Upkeep:

Your air conditioner should perform effortlessly and also quietly while in the background for decades without wanting much protection.On celebration, you'll desire to check the fact that the vents will be free and free from any waste or obstruction and apply canned environment to spray out any kind of collected dust particles.Unless you're in an dusty area, you'll probably only have to replace a air filter 1-2 times per year.



If you notice a disappearance of efficiency, contact an HVAC or portable air conditioning unit specialist right now.Portable air conditioning units offer a solution to server sites where temperatures can't be controlled on their own from all of those other building floor using the central weather system.Property or home installed as well as maintained, portable ac units are the economical method for soothing server sites.

Youre able to post business cards in many places at zero cost, like restaurants, supermarket post boards, content offices, your local library, schools.Most people do look at them, I personally own a fine dining and WE see people viewing the versions posted regarding our content board.Cards really are pretty inexpensive but I had seen free of charge ones readily available online only searc on Free Home business Cards.They add ones own advertising on the back, still hey they're just free!



:Flyers



Print your own and use all the spaces who've post boards.Please do not use them car windshields or telephone rods, that is annoying pertaining to customers and illegal in the most cities along with towns.



:Your imagination



Think not in the box, good things style cost profit.Use orally, tell contacts or strangers if you must, spread term then lower back it all the way up.No matter how you do the idea just advertise.
