GOTW - Whackometer Week 6

Everyone seemed to think that it wasn't that exciting a week in the United States Chess League's Game of the Week. But it sure was diverse. Many games only had a single judge voting for them.

What about the whackometer? Even the judges are calling for its publication!

Here's week 6.

Name  Week-6
Jeff  -0.034 
Greg   0.377 
Arun   0.051 
JimD   0.348 
Mike   0.321 

Remember that a number closer to 1.000 means that the judge agreed with the collective wisdom of the other judges, a number closer to -1.000 means that the judge disagreed with the collective wisdom of the other judges, and a number close to 0.000 means that the judge neither agreed nor disagreed with the collective wisdom of the other judges.

Jeff and Arun both pretty much disagreed with all the other judges on the top games. Greg, Jim, and Michael all relatively had the same level of agreement with each of the other judges.

So now, the average correlations of all the judges across the six weeks are...

Name  Average
Jeff   0.271 
Greg   0.265 
Arun   0.322 
JimD   0.409 
Mike   0.272 

...which, again, suggests that the all are pretty similar.

There is no whacko!
