It's not pretty but it works. Based on a conversation with Phyl and this thread.

What’s the source code in? I'm just wondering if you coded it or it was just out there. If you could send me that source code, that would kick ass.

M +- (1.96X)

Where M is the mean, and X is the standard error (which is Standard Deviation / sqrt(n)?

So you take the standard deviation (input by user), devide it by the squareroot of the number of hands (input by user), and multiply it by the z score (which is 1.96, and you don't need to care why), then add it to (and subtract it from) the average winrate

Ugh I'm leaving out a step... *thinks thinks thinks*

Oh, and note that your hand-size should be above 10k for it to be reasonably accurate. Small sample sizes don't fit the central limit theorem

I'm multiplying by 2*STDERR instead of 1.96 but I'm bad at math and I don't know why. Is this ok y/n

Definitely change it to 1.96. Thats the z score for .05 (corrosponding to 95% conf)

Though I won't likely understand it, can you tell me why? Or give me some kind of link?

It just means that 95% of the normal distribution is within 1.96 Standard Deviations of the mean. Unless you are doing work for a project where accuracy is extremely important the difference between 2 and 1.96 will be hardly noticable and would just give us like the 95.4% confidence interval(So in our case the 2 is probably fine).

Yeah, thats pretty much right. Its not vital, but theres no reason not to change it and increase accuracy

Basically, to get a z-score you take your percentage of confidence wanted (as a decimal) and subtract it from 1. so 1-.95 = .05, look that up on a ztable and it corrosponds to 1.96 (95% is basically used all the time, so everyones memorized it). You could do 99% the same way, just google a z table and do 1-.99 = .01, and look up .01

With a 95% confidence interval, your true winrate is between -0.9 BB/100 and 5.56 BB/100.

You know, that is probably the most useless thing I've done today.
