Similarity score. In Sabermetrics and APBRmetrics, similarity scores are a method of comparing baseball and basketball players (usually in MLB or the NBA) to other players, with the intent of discovering who the most similar historical players are to a certain player. Similarity scores are among the many original sabermetric concepts first introduced by Bill James.
The most basic relative score is the percentile rank, which specifies the percentage of people in the normative group who score lower on the measure than yourself. So if you scored at the 25th percentile, it means that 25% of the people score lower than you and 75% score higher than you. Percentile ranks can range from 0 (for the person with the lowest score) to 100 (for the person with the highest score). Most often percentile ranks are computed from a frequency distribution.
