The Die Hard Index, a project by alumni Russ Maschmeyer from Information Visualization, was featured on AIGA’s Design Envy blog today.
According to Maschmeyer, “I’ve created a formula that can accurately predict how fervently supportive a team’s fans are. Here I’ve calculated the DHI for Major League Baseball, but ostensibly you could do this for any league with the right amount of data.” I love the tone set in this statement; it’s an invitation for others to try similar analysis.
