ProStats filters reference

Conceptprofessionalnew

ProStats has two sets of filters. Data Filters decide which runs go into your stats; Table Filters narrow the results you get back. Here's every one and what it means.

ProStats has two panels of filters that do different jobs. Get the difference clear and the whole tool opens up.

  • Data Filters (left panel) decide which runs go into the calculation, only count runs that match, for example Class 2 handicaps, drawn low, over 7f+.
  • Table Filters (middle panel) narrow the results rows you get back, by their own totals, for example only show groups with 30+ runs and a positive ROI.

(A third control, Group by, decides how the results are grouped, group by RTR Score is one example.)

RTR ratings and ranks

Every "Rank" here is the horse's position within its own race, where 1 is top.

FilterWhat it means
RTR ScoreThe horse's overall RTR algorithm score
RTR RankIts rank in the race, 1 = top rated
R1 RankIts rank by most recent run score, see What is the R1 Rank?
AV3 Rank / AV10 RankIts rank by the average of its last 3 / last 10 run scores, see AV3, AV10 and their ranks
AV3 Min Runs / AV10 Min RunsOnly count horses with at least this many prior runs, so the average means something
AV3 / AV10 Min Runs (every runner)Only count races where every runner has that many prior runs, so the whole field is comparable
Newcomer RTR RankIts rank among only the newcomers in the race
Value %The Value %, the market price against our fair odds
Value % RankIts rank in the race by Value %
Combined AEThe combined A/E from the stats columns
A/E RankIts rank in the race by combined A/E

Prices and draw

FilterWhat it means
Exchange SPThe exchange starting price (XSP)
XSP RankIts rank in the race by exchange SP (shortest = 1)
Place SPThe exchange place starting price

Table Filters

These sift the results by each group's own figures. The most useful is Runs, set a minimum to throw out tiny, unreliable samples before you read anything else.

FilterWhat it means
RunsOnly show groups with a number of runs in this range
SR (%)The group's strike rate
IVImpact Value, how the group's win rate compares with the rest of your current selection (1.00 is par)
A/EActual over Expected, winners against what the market expected (over 1 beats the market)
XSP P&LProfit or loss to a level stake at exchange SP
XSP ROI (%)Return on investment at exchange SP
ISP P&LProfit or loss at industry SP
ISP ROI (%)Return on investment at industry SP
