A Probabilistic Model of Squash: Strategies and Applications

John Simmons

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1989, vol. 38, issue 1, 95-110

Abstract: Optimal strategies for squash are presented assuming that the game can be modelled as a Markov chain. Further implications of this model are discussed in relation to handicapping and the correspondence between different scoring systems. The validity of the model is briefly discussed in the light of data.
