In a recent article in this journal, Wallace, Caudill and Mixon (2013) erred in their description of the dependent variables used in their econometric tests. The error appears in the final sentence of the first paragraph of section III of the study, which falls on page 643. That sentence should read:
‘The final dependent variables used in our models – (1) field goals attempted per minute, (2) field goals made per minute, (3) field goal percentage, (4) 3-pointers attempted per minute, (5) 3-pointers made per minute, (6) 3-point percentage, and (7) points per minute – were calculated by subtracting the individual statistics for the first through third quarters from their respective fourth quarter totals (for each player and for each playoff game).’
None of the text following the original error, nor any of the statistical results, is affected by the incorrect exposition included in this sentence of the study.
