Hi,

Would this notation be correct, as regards to the use of "min"?

X_i = \frac{A_i}{B_i}.min_i (\frac{A_i}{B_i})

I'm trying to say that for individual i the value of X is equal to that individual's ratio \frac{A_i}{B_i}, relative to the smallest ratio of all members of the group.

Many thanks for your help

I don't know what the phrase "relative to the smallest ratio of all members of the group" means. Perhaps you should give a numerical example.
 
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...
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...
