Peter Riegel (January 30, 1935 – May 28, 2018) was an American research engineer who developed a mathematical formula for predicting race times for runners and other athletes given a certain performance at another distance. The formula has been widely adopted on account of its simplicity and predictive accuracy.
The two became racing partners and in 1984, moved to Hong Kong. [3] Starting with US$150,000 (equivalent to US$439,910 in 2023), the pair relied on their mathematical skill to create a formula for choosing race winners. [2] Using his statistical model, Benter identified factors that could lead to successful race predictions.
In addition, there may be bonus points for fastest training laps, fastest race laps, leading laps or other individual criteria. In some racing series, for example the ARCA Menards Series, full time entries [clarification needed] get additional points after a predetermined number of races. Drivers who do not take part in the series full-time but ...
Schumaker also works in the field of Sports Analytics authoring numerous papers on greyhound [7] and harness racing prediction [8] as well as using Twitter sentiment to predict Premier League [9] and NFL matches. [10] He has also authored a book on the subject, Sports Data Mining (2010; ISBN 978-1-4419-6729-9).

In Picking Winners, Beyer claimed a breakthrough when a study of claiming races at Calder Race Course showed Beyer that 1:13 for six furlongs was equally fast to 1:26.1 at seven; from there, Kovitz's math was used to generate perfectly accurate parallel-time and beaten-lengths charts, which Beyer then used to make par times for classes, against ...
And despite the polls, which show the race is now tighter than ever between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Lichtman stands by his prediction that the Democrat will win the White House in November.
When we find fewer than five polls in 2016 or fewer than two polls since July 2016, we use Cook Political Report ratings to estimate where the race stands. We run the simulations out to Election Day, Nov. 8. Since we don’t have polling data for the future, the model assumes voter intentions generally continue along their current trajectories.
