Why did you click the more button? By accident? Reply is at the bottom...
They call me The Precursor

07, but I'm older a little younger than that, so it's not that accurate but a rough measure I guess.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

The correlation coefficient is about -1.2, meaning that for every year of account age, the user is about 1.2 years older.
Are you regressing against the year the account was created or the age of the account?

'Cause I'm sure that that 1.2 shouldn't be negative.

I wish I spoke nerd. :(
As someone who has learned to speak statsnerd, let me assure you that the payoff isn't worth the effort.
Only you can prevent unobserved heterogeneity...


And as someone who LOVES large sample sizes: 2007 account, 21 years old

It's not as accurate as it would be if I had more people.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

Yeah.. I definitely don't fit the mold here. Not telling you how old I am, but I'm a lot older than most of you. A lot older.

My b.net account is rather young though.

If I say "old balls" does that correlate to a specific or range of numbers?

  • 04.16.2012 2:21 PM PDT

Who the hell do you think I am?

If I myself were older, I'd probably have an older account. I've been using bnet since 07 or 06, I just never bothered to create an account and post on the forums until later.

I don't know how experiments work in Norwegia but in America we like to participate in them to increase sample-sizes.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Won't Recon be one of those dots miles away from the line of best fit?

Yes, but a sufficiently large sample size is immune to outliers. Or failing that, we can just cut out the top and bottom 2.5%. Outliers begone!

OP: how large has your sample got thusfar?
