Question Number 23773 by FilupES last updated on 06/Nov/17

I have a leaderboard with the data of ′runners′.  Each runner has a ′place′ (1st, 2nd, etc.),  and a ′time′ (in seconds).     Every day I have been comparing the data.  What information is important to note when  looking at data such as this?     Is it possible to make predictions of future data?     I′d love advice for things I can do with monitoring  these kinds of statistics!

y axis is time in seconds  x axis is the runner rank     each ′curve′ is the leaderboard for a particular  date in time. (as you can see, the right most  curve has more runners with lower times overall)

$${y}\:{axis}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{time}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{seconds} \\ $$$${x}\:{axis}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{runner}\:\mathrm{rank} \\ $$$$\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{each}\:'\mathrm{curve}'\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{leaderboard}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{particular} \\ $$$$\mathrm{date}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{time}.\:\left(\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{see},\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{right}\:\mathrm{most}\right. \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{curve}\:\mathrm{has}\:\mathrm{more}\:\mathrm{runners}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{lower}\:\mathrm{times}\:\mathrm{overall}\right) \\ $$
