This Algorithm Calculated the Chance of Death for 10 Key ‘Game of Thrones’ Characters

GoT1 1

Spoiler warning upfront depending on how much you trust the algorithm. Data scientist Taylor Larkin created an in depth analysis on the likelihood of each characters death in the final seasons of GoT.

Via Highsnobiety:

To do so, Larkin created an algorithm from a plethora of data, including qualitative readings pulled from the fan-created Game of Thrones Wiki page, to studying over 2,000 living and dead characters from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, as well as external variables such as gender, age, family lineage, and so forth.

The results read as following:

  • Daenerys Targaryen – 83.77% chance of death
  • Jaime Lannister – 72.91% chance of death
  • Tyrion Lannister – 70.76% chance of death
  • Bran Stark – 66.02% chance of death
  • Cersei Lannister – 60.39% chance of death
  • Jon Snow – 58.99% chance of death
  • Euron Greyjoy – 54.95% chance of death
  • Sansa Stark – 50.28% chance of death
  • Arya Stark – 49.04% chance of death
  • Gendry – 39.87% chance of death
