    Posted: 16 April 2018 at 7:35pm
Following the recent attendance v population statistics on here, I was inspired to create some of my own.

I was bored this weekend and decided to compile all the attendances of every Scarlets league and European game since regionalisation, and since the move to PYS, plus a handful of other variables to see if I could find which ones contribute the most to attendance figures. 

Fortunately, I have access to statistical software in Swansea University and was able to run the figures through the computer today and thought someone might find something interesting in them.

Feel free to comment, question, criticise or come up with any other suggestions of what I could do.

Why are there fewer observations since regionalisation than since the move to PyS given that the first is longer ago than the second?

So the move to PYS increased attendances inspite of it occuring at a time of relatively ordinary performances? Saturday is the best day of the weekend and in view of next year's shift to only pay tv, it seems that there will be no increase in attendance. Its good to be able to quantify some of these variables although some, like the number of home wins and the number of internationals are interconnected.

Thank you for your hard work....

Good spot! I originally had 199 observations since regionalisation. I suspect that the software removed some observations because of heteroscedasticity in the data. Not sure how much that means to you! I'll look into it tomorrow. Thanks.

No effect on if a match is on TV? I find that hard to believe.

Not sure what the Bank Holiday stats are telling us.  These would be  the local derbies and so we would expect attendances to be up in any case.  Or does the software take account of this?

Eh is my phone having problems reading this? I can see nothing there to understand. Just lots of figures with nothing to say what they relate to and things like Durbin-Watson, someone called Hannah Quinn and KOBH etc. I'll open on pc to see if it makes sense on there

It's not the easiest thing in the world to read Rich and I guess on a mobile phone it's virtually impossible. Smile

Having said that - it's well worth the effort to try and understand.
