FWIW, I found a reference to this subject in the r.g.b. archive: http://www.bkgm.com/rgb/rgb.cgi?view+1079

It seems that Douglas Zare wrote about it on GammonVillage (pay-site that I don't have access to); quoting Tom Keith:
In his article on early-late ratio, Douglas Zare offers the following
suggestion for how you can relate the early-late ratio to actual play.
"The [Snowie] early-late ratio tells you roughly what fraction of
doubles should be passed in nongammonish positions.  That is, roughly
1/3 of initial doubles should be passed, while 1/2 of the redoubles
should be passed."
So, gammons might change these numbers I guess.
