How is "longest current absence" measured?

It's the count of draws since a combination was last drawn, compared against that same combination's own historical average gap between appearances. A combination is flagged as a long absence once its current gap passes about 1.5x its usual gap. This is a historical, descriptive measurement -- not a prediction of when any combination will appear next.
