- epgui 5y agoThat's not how statistical significance works. It's perfectly possible for a small variation on a large number to be statistically significant. The question would be more whether the variance on a given day is statistically significant compared to the variance on any other day, or the average variance.
- thehappypm 5y agoThat is exactly what I’m asking! Is it unusual to have these types of swings?
- advisedwang 5y agoThe screenshots show typical daily swing is a few hundred
- daenz 5y agoIt's small, but imagine an account with 10,000 bots interacting with it every day. It would appear extremely active, and you wouldn't see the same username twice unless you were really paying attention.
