🏆 What is the Pareto Frontier?
The Pareto frontier contains players who are not dominated by any other player. A player X dominates player Y if X is ≥ in ALL dimensions and > in at least one. Frontier members represent unique, incomparable excellence.

📐 Pareto Analysis Methodology
1. Pareto Dominance
Given two performances A and B, A dominates B if A ≥ B in ALL dimensions AND A > B in at least one.
2. Pareto Frontier (Layer 0)
The Pareto frontier contains all performances NOT dominated by any other — unique, incomparable excellence.
3. Pareto Layers
- Layer 0: Pareto frontier (undominated)
- Layer 1: Frontier after removing Layer 0
- Layer N: Frontier after removing Layers 0 to N-1
4. Sub-Pareto Analysis (Current Season)
We compute frontiers for ALL subsets of dimensions (63 for 6D, 7 for 3D).
- Strength: How many subsets player appears on
- Min Dim: Smallest subset where Pareto-optimal
- Best Vars: Variables forming smallest unbeatable combo
5. Dominance Percentage
6. 3D vs 4D Analysis
3D: PPG, RPG, APG — the classic stat line
4D: Adds STOCKPG (steals + blocks) for two-way players
