Default Re: Are Winrates Normally Distributed?

Max Power,

Isn't what you are describiing a sampling distribution of the mean? Doesn't that always produce a normal distribution even if the population distribution is not normal?

i don't know what it's called, but his method will produce a normal distribution regardless of what the data is, if the samples are large enough.
