It would be interesting to adjust the data to compensate for day of the week, as well as for the dates that only happen in a few months out of the year. I wonder if the 31sts in that year were all in the middle of the week, or were all on weekends?
- rpicard 14y agoThat's an interesting thought. It looks like they were spread out pretty evenly throughout the week in 2011 and 2010, though. > as well as for the dates that only happen in a few months out of the year That actually was compensated for. That's what the "Correcting for more frequent dates" section was about.
- daem0n 14y agoah I must've also missed that section
- endianswap 14y agoSorry, I saw that and meant it to read as "as well as X, which you've already done".
- lukeschlather 14y agoI'd be interested to see this same graph run for each day of the week, again normalized.
- maxk42 14y agoA quota doesn't need to be monthly. There could be weekly targets. So I agree: day of the week would be useful to see, here.
- sixothree 14y agoThe 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days are all above average.
- rpicard 14y agoThat's an interesting observation!
- FuzzyDunlop 14y agoHowever the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days aren't always the end of a week (Friday, or Sunday?). If we make the assumption that it doesn't matter, and the quotas are 'rolling', then surely the same could be said about the monthly quota not ending at the actual end of the month?
- sixothree 14y agoIf you look at the graphs, the first two days and the 7th day of the month are higher than average. Same for the second week; the 8th & 9th and the 14th days of the month are higher than average. Also, the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days are all above average.
- rpicard 14y agoI made an update adjusting for day of the week (see "Updates"): http://robert.io/posts/4.html http://robert.io/posts/4.html
