Statistical Filter

This is a very powerful filter which accepts tickets that have selected statistical properties. Using this filter you can automate some mundane and repeating filtering tasks, e.g. as described here. Several Statistical Filters combined in a Complex Filter can provide a reliable filtering tool to obtain a starting set of tickets as an input for your lottery strategy.

The filter is based on statistical tables in Analyzer window. The filter first calculates the statistics of selected past draws and then accepts only tickets that have desired values in selected column(s) in statistical table.

Note: All examples below are given for Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo Lottery.

To use the filter, first click button Select to choose past winning numbers draws to calculate draw interval statistics from. In Analyze combo box select which statistical property the filter will evaluate. Then select desired statistical table column(s) in the table below and the required value or value range the accepted tickets must have. Click Add button to insert additional condition, click Remove button to drop the last condition in the list.
Option Match all of the following makes the filter accept only tickets that meet all the conditions listed in the table. Option Match any of the following makes the filter accept tickets that meet at least one of the listed conditions.
Some statistical properties selected in Analyze combo box add another filtering option: Applies to X to Y in each ticket. That is because when filtering e.g. according to statistics of ticket numbers then each accepted ticket can contain up to 6 numbers that the filter's statistical condition(s) pull from the whole number pool (in a 6/xx lottery).

Filter Conditions

The conditions in Statistical Filter look like this:

StatisticalTableColumnName Operator NumericalValue

Where the StatisticalTableColumnName is one of

Occurrence - how many times a given statistical property value has been found in analyzed past draws. For example pool number 6 has been found 3 times in ten latest draws.
Occurrence Percentage - the same value as Occurrence but it is given as a percentage of all occurrences.
Latest - how many draws elapsed since the last occurrence of a given statistical property. For example number 11 has been last drawn 8 draws ago. While number 23 came up in the very latest draw so its corresponding value in Latest column in statistical table is 1.
AVG Interval - average count of draws that elapsed between two following occurrences of a given statistical property value in analyzed past draws. For example average interval 4 of pool number 6 means that number 6 hits on average in every fourth draw.
Min Interval - the lowest count of draws that elapsed between two following occurrences of a given statistical property value in analyzed past draws. For example minimum interval of 3 of pool number 23 means that the number hit again after two draws at the earliest. While minimum interval of 1 of pool number 11 means that the number hit again in the very next draw since its previous occurrence.
Max Interval - the highest count of draws that elapsed between two following occurrences of a given statistical property value in analyzed past draws. For example maximum interval of 5 of pool number 6 means that the longest delay between two following hits of that number is 5 draws.
Due - statistical probability that a given property will hit in the next draw. Due values lower than 1 mean that the given property isn't expected in the next draw. Due value higher than 1 mean that the given property is long overdue and should hit in the next draw. Due values close to 1 mean that the given property is very close to its average hit cycle and should come up in the next draw. For example Due value of 6.00 of pool number 30 means that the number is long overdue because on average it hits in every draw and now hasn't come up in six latest draws (applies to the 10 latest draws in Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo Lottery).

Operator	Example	Meaning
=	Ticket Numbers: Occurrence = 5	Select pool numbers that appear exactly 5 times in the selected past draws.
>	Triplets: Latest > 4	Select triplets that haven't hit for more than 4 draws in the selected past draws.
>=	Pairs: Occurrence >= 3	Select pairs that appear 3 or more times in the selected past draws.
<	Ticket Numbers: Latest < 3	Select pool numbers that hit in the very latest draw or in previous draw in the selected past draws.
<=	Pairs: Due <= 0.8	Select pairs that are not likely to hit again in the next draw.
Highest	Ticket Numbers: Latest Highest 5	Select 5 ranks of pool numbers that haven't hit for the longest time in the selected past draws.
Lowest	Ticket Numbers: Due Lowest 10	Select 10 ranks of pool numbers that are least likely to hit in the next draw.

Note: Operators Highest and Lowest select the best and the worst ranking property values. A rank consists of statistical property values that have the same value in given statistical table column. For example when analyzing 10 latest draws in Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo Lottery then the Latest column in Ticket Numbers table sorted in descending order looks like this:

Main Number	Latest
5	10
31	10
43	10
38	9
11	8
8	8
26	8
48	8
49	8
20	7
33	7
35	7
30	6
15	6
37	6
32	5
1	5
12	5
24	5

The highest ranking numbers are the ones with Latest value of 10 (5, 31, 43), the second best rank is number 39 with Latest value of 9, the third best rank are numbers with Latest value of 8 (11, 8, 26, 48, 49) etc. So filter condition Ticket Numbers: Latest Highest 3 will select pool numbers with Latest values 10, 9 and 8, the numbers are 5, 31, 43, 38, 11, 8, 26, 48, 49. Filter condition Ticket Numbers: Latest Highest 1 will select pool numbers 5, 31, 43 - not just the the first row of statistical table sorted in descending order.
Operator Lowest works the same way except that it looks at the lowest ranking of numbers, i.e. at the bottom of the table above.

Example

With filter settings on the screen shot below the filter accepts tickets, which contain 1 or 2 numbers that hit most frequently in the last ten draws AND are long overdue.

With filter settings on the screen shot below the filter accepts tickets, which contain at least one triplet that has never been drawn yet in the whole lottery history.

With filter settings on the screen shot below the filter accepts tickets, which contain at least one number that hasn't hit for 20 or more draws OR at least one number which is long overdue.

The main advantages of Statistical Filter are:

Automates repeating filtering tasks that are based on statistical properties, e.g. find tickets with at least one number triplet that haven't been drawn in lottery history.
Automatically takes into account changes in winning numbers database. There's no need to manually recalculate statistical tables to find e.g. numbers/pairs/triplets etc that are most frequent/least frequent/due/overdue etc in several latest draws when the winning numbers database is updated with numbers from the latest draw.
Can be grouped together in Complex Filter for back-testing and performance evaluation.
