stats

[Senna Jawa]

Could you please post the stats with same-sized intervals that may allow us to see the effects of an H icon? Perhaps half-point intervals (1.00-1.49, 1.50-1.99, ... 4.50-4.99, 5.00)

Or a simple indication of how may of the poems on the 4.50-5.0 range have 10 votes or more, and if there is a statistical difference between the views of those who have more than 10 votes and those who don't.

I'll do this and more for the "View Submissions" file.

Perhaps more useful would be stats concerned not with a one single author data at the time but with the more global Literotica data. If the data is available on line I may write the corresponding programs. Most likely the program will have to process more than one file, which is a complication but not too bad. Indeed, today we can store in the memory of a PC the whole content of a couple of files to compare and process them easily to the heart's desire.

You know Literotica well, hence please go on and make further suggestions or perhaps you know a better approach than copying Literotica data html files to personal PC disk.

FYI: For about the next 12 hours you can download "Opera" for free.

Splendid! Thanks. Opera is my weapon of choice, even with the ads.

"views" stats

Would you say that the odds for awarding a poem 1 2 3 4 or 5 are in the

1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5

proportion, i.e. about one third of votes are 5 and that 3 occurs with the about expected number frequency 1 out of five (or 20%), etc.? One could try to build a model for Literotica which would show what statistically is going on.

Anyway, before (and if ) I get to the next stage (next program) let me post the simple stats related to the "views", on my example by necessity. First I present the number of views crudely, by 500 bunches, then in a bit more detailed way, by 200 bunches:

date: 2005-08-29B

views/500 submissions
========================
0 to 499 --- 21
500 to 999 --- 193
1000 to 1499 --- 47
1500 to 1999 --- 4
2000 to 2499 --- 2
2500 to 2999 --- 1
3500 to 3999 --- 1
4000 to 4499 --- 1
4500 to 4999 --- 1
5500 to 5999 --- 1
6000 to 6499 --- 2
7000 to 7499 --- 1
10000 to 10499 --- 2
11500 to 11999 --- 2
12000 to 12499 --- 1
12500 to 12999 --- 1
13500 to 13999 --- 1
15500 to 15999 --- 1
22000 to 22499 --- 1

You can see that about two thirds of my submissions (193) have collected between 500 and 999 views. This should tell you that I am not very active recently. Also, 70 of my submissions can claim a 1000 or more views (one of them is a story--it's doing not better than several of my poems). I really would like to know the true number of "reads", alas it's not possible since Literotica's playing its games also with the number of "reads", too bad.

There is a peculiar hole from 3000 to 3499.

Now the more detailed table:

views/100 submissions
========================
0 to 99 --- 2
100 to 199 --- 1
200 to 299 --- 3
300 to 399 --- 6
400 to 499 --- 9
500 to 599 --- 17
600 to 699 --- 26
700 to 799 --- 35
800 to 899 --- 87
900 to 999 --- 28
1000 to 1099 --- 23
1100 to 1199 --- 9
1200 to 1299 --- 4
1300 to 1399 --- 9
1400 to 1499 --- 2
1500 to 1599 --- 1
1600 to 1699 --- 3
2000 to 2099 --- 2
2900 to 2999 --- 1
3900 to 3999 --- 1
4300 to 4399 --- 1
4800 to 4899 --- 1
5900 to 5999 --- 1
6200 to 6299 --- 1
6400 to 6499 --- 1
7300 to 7399 --- 1
10400 to 10499 --- 2
11500 to 11599 --- 1
11800 to 11899 --- 1
12300 to 12399 --- 1
12600 to 12699 --- 1
13500 to 13599 --- 1
15900 to 15999 --- 1
22300 to 22399 --- 1

Hm, the mentioned hole is even larger, from 3000 to 3899l it is preceded by a smaller one, from 1700 to 1999.

About a third of my submissions (87) got between 800 and 899 reads. Perhaps most of them were posted way back in the second half of 2002, or early in 2003, and perhaps their title has started with an uninteresting character between "b" and "y" (but I don't know).

Is your perl program usable by anyone, and would you consider sharing it?

Yes, Rybka, enjoy, I am enclosing the program at the end of this post. I'll be glad to answer any q's, granted that I will be able to do so. This is not the newest program--I'll post a version of the new program soon (I'll check and try to include the Lauren's requests--the one which I remember I'll certinly will).

Remember that the program applies to the Literotica submission file. You need to copy it into your PC. Then provide its path/name to the program.

PS. The indentations in the program will seem lost on your screen. But you may check the html source, thus recovering them immediately.

REMARK (2005-09-22): I have removed the perl code which was below. It had a minor bug, and it is superseded by the perl code given by me in the

An ugly duckling stats perl program​

thread. sj

 

[Rybka]

Thank you, SJ. I have downloaded it and will see what I can do with it (I'm not much of a programmer).

At one time there was a site which had a lot of your non-Lit. poetry. I lost the bookmark when my old machine crashed. Is that site still up? If so, could you please post, or PM me, its address.

perl program (old ). Two Links.

Thank you, SJ. I have downloaded it and will see what I can do with it (I'm not much of a programmer).

I am not much either. In this case I lazily used copy and paste instead of writing the code cleanly. (The next program will be a little bit better but only a little bit).

Basically, the program will ask you about the submission file name (or path+file_name). Then about the date--supply the date to which the submission file refers, so that it will get documented in the output stats.

It may be simpler to keep the program and the submission file (a copy of the html source code of the Literotica submission file of a participant--most likely of yourself) in the same directory (folder). And run the program from that same directory (folder). Then you do not need to provide the path.

Other few details may depend on your computer system: Windows versus Unix. Unix has perl these days automatically (perl became an official part of Unix). And when I say Unix, I mean also Linux, Solaris and other variations, and the new Mac systems (they have Unix underneath). In the case of Windows you may download perl together with a lot of goodies from CPAN or
from cpan -- you get the same items in each case.

At one time there was a site which had a lot of your non-Lit. poetry. I lost the bookmark when my old machine crashed. Is that site still up? If so, could you please post, or PM me, its address.

Rybka, didn't you ask about that link in this thread earlier? And I did provide it, together with another link. See above. Oh, ok, here they are again:

sj @ tajemnik's
sj @ Alanisko's​

The earlier site is a kind of raw, but has almost all of my stuff from the past; the latter one has but a few poems only (+ stuff).

Thank you Senna. Yes I did ask, but I guess I missed your post in response. - But anyway, it never hurts to advertise (as long as you spell your name right. - P.T. B.)!

the perl code has moved to the "An ugly duckling..." thread

Rybka, and others,

the perl code which used to be in this thread is superseded by the one I have posted in the

An ugly duckling...​

thread. It had a bug--nothing too bad )) but still a bug (The ugly duckling had inherited that bug but I fixed it afterwards; but just in case if you copied "the ugly..." immediately after it showed up on this board you may copy it again and get rid of the previous copy).

I still intend to post a new program. It will mostly supersede the ugly duckling except for one minor feature. For that exception I am not going to remove the ugly duckling even after posting the other program.

Regards,
