Mathematical explanation

I think it would be nice to include a plot explaining the alternative explanation - a mathematical artifact of using ratio instead of a line described by slope and intercept to model the data. Not sure if I can upload an image.. http://imgur.com/K4doEjJ

Ratio of points (violet) sampled from a line with non-zero intercept (blue) approaches the slope of the line (golden) as x increases.

Large commented ref section moved here

I'm moving this here for page size/visibility reasons... Hiding old reference section. Needs to be checked, but everything should be in footnotes now, and in a much more verifiable format.

Some more citations to be added to this page

I am taking a note here that there are scientific articles that shows the link between digit ratio and sport. We need to add to this article. 60.242.13.83 (talk) 22:23, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
