How to detect favoritism at dance competitions
Silvarová, Lenka ; Svoboda, Miroslav (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the motivation of jurors privileging some of the participants in dance competitions. It gives an overview of the dance sport and its rules, analyzes the factors that have an impact on privileging. Based on regression analysis it determines particular jurors who are not able to dismiss a connection to specific couples. Supporting analysis determines twenty-seven jurors who have different views, or prefer some couples and therefore can be suspected of favouritism. The thesis reveals that jurors, who are from the same club as couples, have a tendency to evaluate better and deviate from the average of the jurors by 0.3 to 0.4 point. It shows the significance of the "average marks of all jurors -- 2.5" and "lap of contest" variables.
