Default Re: Unit Cost Equation

Quote:

Sushiboat, can you use Absolute value on Str and HP to force Size to be negative(with your software)?
I don't understand what you are requesting. I think that all units already have non-negative Strength and HP values, so running them through an absolute value function wouldn't change those numbers. Are you talking about the coefficients?

Yes, I'm talking about the coefficients. They really would do better as positives. I thought if you could force absolute value on them, then it would force Size to be negative. You also may get this result by changing the order. To some extent I agree with Evil Dave, except that we are talking about a correlation issue, even though Size and HP are very different. I would recommend making a model for human sized units IF you where going to cut size out. Otherwise, it is important enough to leave in. Besides, I assume it makes your model more accurate.
