Yes, but depending on the number of people there may not be enough data to do any meaningful statistics. Also, depending on the selection criteria the panel may constitute a very biased sample
 
I have about 50 different "individuals" and (optimally) 20 observations for each. the "individuals" are chosen based on a list of the 50 largest US, public companies at the time of the first observation. Do you see any immediate reasons for concern, based on this information (if I am using this data material for a logit or probit model)?

50 subjects should be enough for reasonable statistics. Your sample is highly biased towards large companies, so your conclusions should not be generalized to smaller companies.

Thread 'Here's a Statistics problem for game of Polo (or Hockey if you like)'

Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
