Couldnt get to the site for the least two weeks.

it's working fine for me.

unless you mean you didn't see that we moved, in which case, read back a few posts.

explains a lot

I do have this data, but of course, there's a big limitation (and the explanation for why I haven't done this yet):

Since DMI is so heavily based on salary, it would be almost impossible to estimate rates for out of position training because of the selection bias height imposes on position. For example, it would be very hard to figure out how fast OD trains on 7ft tall guys, because almost all 7fters are listed as PF/C's, and thus OD training basically does not affect their salary (and therefore their DMI). Same for Rb training on short guys, JR on bigs, etc, etc, etc.

It might be useful for figuring out some more general characteristics of training (age effects, maybe cross-training, or certain "elastic" effects), but otherwise being able to only estimate primary trainings makes me much less excited about it, and I'm very wary of the biases associated with this sort of analysis.

Is the graphics data in the analysis section correct?

It suggests, that while training passing for 19year olds (one position only) the skill trains FASTER the bigger the player is.
