% These data tell whether or not the home team won for each game played in all
% World Series prior to 1994.  The data appear as the STATS Challenge for Issue

% Below are data on wins and losses for all World Series games, starting in 1903
% and ending in 1993.  (There was no World Series in 1904.)  For each year the
% data are presented from the point of view of the eventual winner.  A capital L
% means that the eventual Series winner lost at home; a lower case l means they
% lost on the road.  Likewise, a capital W means that the eventual Series winner
% won at home and a lower case w means that they won on the road.
% 
% Note that in 1903, 1919, 1930, and 1921 the contests were best-five-out-of-nine
% series; in other years they are best-four-out-of-seven series.
% 
% Here are a few questions you might consider as you analyze these data:
% 
% 1) Is there a constant probability of winning within a given series, or is
% there evidence of, e.g., a home field advantage?
% 
% 2) Is there independence in the outcome from game to game?  If not, is there a
% simple kind of conditional independence from game to game?
% 
% Some authors have found a propensity for the team that has just lost to win the
% next game. What do you think?
% 
% L= loss at home
% l= loss on road
% W= win at home
% w= win on road
