Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8

1 person marked this as a favorite.

This morning between about 5 and 8 am pacific time, I voted 100 times (so saw 200 items), and this time I created an excel spread sheet to keep track of which items appeared (and in which column) and which items I voted for… here are some numbers that I pulled out of the data, I thought I would post them for those who might be interested in such things.

Total number of unique items: 175

21 items appeared twice, 2 items appeared 3 times

One of the items that appeared twice did so in back-to-back votes (on opposite sides), it did not get my vote either time.

2 items were items I had not seen previously, 4 were items that I had seen previously but not recently (since the cut down).

I did not see my own item.

I voted for the item on the left 53 times and the item on the right 47 times.

Later this today, probably starting around 1 pm pacific time, I plan on doing it again and comparing the results (to see if time of day really matters). Over the course of this week I plan on doing this at least 9 more times (at various times of day) giving me record of 1000 votes.

I invite others to attempt similar experiments and post them to this thread. comparing the data derived could prove to be interesting.

I look forward to seeing your time-of-day data, in particular.

I looked at a pair of items. I picked one. I repeated. I kept doing that throughout the day.

I realized that counting or not counting everything I do will have no affect on the outcome.

I made a sandwich. I ate it and had a beer.

I took a nap.

Repeat.

I'm a nut for statistics, so I'm enjoying these posts. I only wish I had the patience you seem to have.

I've seen a ton of items twice, and several three times, and I don't even have a "star voter" tag yet.

For instance, I saw one item, which I don't particularly like, twice in the past, maybe, 30 minutes, not counting having seen it earlier.

(I haven't collected statistics at all)

You do... but tags don't appear on aliases. It's on your default id.
