Idea: Analysis Reformating

Postby Vancouvia » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:57 am

The analysis on your nation's page is fun to go through but I think there are two problems with it:

1. Sometimes you can't see the average, so you have no idea how your nation compares
2. Even if you can see the average, there's no way of knowing if you're in the top 1/5/10%

Solutions: instead of using a linear scale, use standard deviations. By standardizing the chart, you can see exactly how close or far you are from getting to 1% because of the 68/95/99.7 empirical rule. Another solution would be to also graph the 1/5/10% lines. (If the average line is already on that, it can't be that hard to throw these lines in).

Thanks!

Shown is the median average. The site does not calculate the statistical average.

It's still possible to put in 1/5/10% lines if you're using median as your central point.

The site does calculate 1/5/10% for the badges, is my understanding. Adding that in to the analysis page probably wouldn't cost very much.

One more for the "good ideas that aren't the highest priority" column, perhaps?

Yep yep.

Like a related suggestion that I made several years ago, which I think made it onto that list?
I think that it would be nice if the nations' ranking in the world was also shown in their regional tables, so that anybody who's tracking details for a region could just copy-&-paste that table without needing to check the separate pages for each of the nations involved one-by-one.
