Typo in the paper? #75

I didn't see a place on Arxiv to comment on the paper so I'll do it here. ;-)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.7158v3.pdf, page 11:

"Using the convention that approximately 10 wins are equivalent to one win"

Shouldn't that be 10 runs?

Yes, good catch! Unfortunately, this typo made it into the JQAS paper as well. :(

Another one (page 4):

"Here, we illustrate that the expected run matrix —a common sabermetric construction dating back to the work of Lindsey (1959, 1961)—can be used to model th1ese quantities."
