Do you have a link to this data? I would love to see it. If indeed there is a stronger correlation for 2As, that may lend some credence to the theory that in judges minds, all 3As and quads check the height and distance box merely for being 3As and quads. I would disagree with that (clearly, Yuzuru's 3A is outstanding, and I would also like to give a mention to Boyang's 4Lz, and I think both should be rewarded for that. And in my opinion, even Samarin, whose skating is often validly criticized, deserves extra credit for the size of his quads.), but it would be an interesting addition to our knowledge of how judges behave. I agree that in general more data would be helpful.
Well, the graph for the 2A distance/GOE is still around; the data is... somewhere, hopefully, but I can't find it at the moment. The data for all the clean jumps vs PCS is here.
The sample sizes are pretty variable; I've broken it down by jump type since my first post. ALL types of solo jumps I could do anything with showed a correlation between PCS and GOE but the overall relationship is clearly being brought down by the 3Lo, for whatever reason (it showed a much weaker correlation than the other jumps).
