Hi, would you mind checking where I went wrong because I am getting a different discrepancy for the example given in the docs? Thanks!

Hi Peter! Yeah, you're totally right. Let me check with host, to see how the inconsistency came about

Hi Peter! Me again! So I reached out to the competition organization and this is what they said:

His solution is totally right, that is a typo! I realized that the d = 0.0976 value would be considering only the first covariate w1, not the three of them.

Considering the three of them we have:

The solution arrays for this toy problem is the following:

group1 = [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]
group2 = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0]

The discrepancy value for this solution is d = 1.485

So I've gone ahead and updated the docs with this information. Sorry for the confusion! and I hope that helps answer your question.

Great! Thanks Julian. This helps a lot, clarifying the metrics for me.
