“One were to weigh themselves every day and throw away all of the results which showed an increase in weight.”
Imagine I weigh 190 today, and I measure 180 tomorrow, 185 the day after, and 170 the day after that. The graph of values would be 190->180->170, ignoring the day when we increased from 180 back up to 185
- gannon___ 4y agoAh, yeah I guess the article could be doing on a day-to-day basis instead of multiple times a day. Maybe the more misleading part of the article is that the number of data points is relatively constant. I would think there's some rough constant on frequency of data points (ie, 1/d), and as you get closer to a true minimum, you have much fewer data points. Having fewer data points as time goes on makes the inaccuracy more obvious, and thus this article less interesting. Def an interesting read tho.
