    HELP! What is LOG5 formula?

    Hi everyone, can someone tell me what is LOG5 formula?

    How do you put it in EXCEL spreadsheet?

    I need it for NBA game, also I know LOG5 formula determine the TEAM winning percentages. Is there another formula that accurate than LOG5 formula?

    Last question, is there a formula to calculate NBA TOTAL POINT for full game?

    THANK YOU EVERYONE

    log(5) = 0.698970004

    lol.

    just google log5 and you'll get a bunch of results look for the sports related ones. it's not that complicated to do the stuff you want except nba total point for the full game which is incredibly hard.

    Models that allow for team form will be more accurate than the simple Log5 approximation. As for totals, they are best modelled using a logarithm as a link function in a regression.
