Any stats/math experts?

I have my bachelor's degree in math theory and master's in applied math (mainly stats).

You can't quantify everything. So much about a person is subjective and very situational. It just isn't possible. You can be tall, fit, wealthy, and still not be top rung socially.

I could say if you're top 5% of each of those categories, but to say you're top 5% by some subjective measure is impossible.

Interesting. You might want to change stats/math to computer scientists oriented towards machine learning.

Picture this. A guy with high real value, dressing a refined outlook and playing some gym rat muscles game? He won't lay the girls looking for the refined outlook and the ones biased towards gym rats will try to fit him in a BB slot.

When I first read it I thought the congruence or lack of it could be a multiplier. But it would be related to frame and every other aspect in a non linear fashion, so you'd be left with no starting point.

I guess to try to find a worthy quantifying model for SMV you'll need some powerful machine learning, someone who can operate it, and a decent pool. Hardly worth the trouble but it would make some interesting reading.

Heartiste's SMV quiz.

If you want a truly comprehensive statistical analysis you'd need a research team and funding from a grant committee as what you're asking is no easy task.

You need access to at least the census data, you need to correlate for location, social trends, psychology, among others. Cross-check with research papers, financial data, pop. culture. For example, a dashing cowboy with a trust fund might do well in Texas, but will find harder game in NY. But how might a black cowboy do? 200k might be rich in Alabama, but how about LA? Women say money doesn't matter, but if you're a rich oil baron they might not care how you dress in Seattle.

This is not a simple proposal.

First thoughts for parameters are; age, income, net worth, physique, game, height.

You can't use these factors alone, unfortunately. For example, age, physique, height can give you only apparent value unless you use them correctly. Income and net worth can give you no value if you sit there and do nothing with it. Same for game: let's say you are the game king of the city but you prefer to stay home playing video games, you'll have no value...

SMV is, the way I see it, a combination of tools (physical characteristics, abilities, power, etc) and how these are used.
