This may be a simple problem, but I wanted to run it by some other people before using my solution.

I have two distinct sets of items A and B which may or may not be connected to one another. I want to know whether or not the interconnections between them are significiantly different, i.e are the number of connections between A-A, A-B, and B-B different - are A's connected more to A's, for example. However, there are many more B's than A's. Normally I would just divide the value by the number of items, but how do I do this with interconnected items? Is the normalized value of the number of A-A connections =

number of connections/(A*A)

And similarly for A-B: number of connections/(A*B)

I can't determine if this is right or not.

you may want to do a chi squared goodness of fit test. seeing if a-a matches the data for a-b..ect
 
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...
