I am human, I am good and bad as well. But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad. Or just not too good, but I do try.

So with that said I don't fault you. I mean your only human, good or bad.

Stat and Sig

Wow I gotta say I'm from 08 and I'm seventeen. Good guessing work.

My original account was created in 2004 and I'm 19. I could see how this would work on average, though.

Wake me, when you need me.

I'm 18 but my original join date on my first account was 2007. This account was 2009. You can use whichever you like.

“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.”

Or failing that, we can just cut out the top and bottom 2.5%.
my arbitrariometer just exploded. surely you should be doing that kind of t-blam!- by standard deviation?
ed: oh i love that filter. never change.
Well, y'see, what I'd do here is take the mean, use a normal distribution to construct a 95% interval around it, and then treat all outliers as anomalous and drop them.

But that would mean me all the raw data off OP and then getting out my calculator and some tables. Dropping the top and bottom 2.5% is a (very) rough approximation at that process.

What I'd like to know is how the ages of new users has changed, if at all, over time.
People who make accounts now are older than the people who were making accounts back in the day (coefficient of 1.12), although you've got a 10% pvalue on that so I wouldn't start writing home about it just yet.


OP: you're now at a coefficient of 1.04 and a p-score of 0.003.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I don't think it has any influence on age.


It doesn't. Joined when I was 15 back in 2004. Going on 23 this year.
I mainly run on my alt account created in 2006 now.

I'm 23 and I originally joined shortly after Halo 2 released. I only posted on that account for about a month then didn't really log in until I created this account in '08 because of a gamertag change. I'm not sure which one you would use in this case though....

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

Generally, yes there's a correlation between account age and real age. The correlation coefficient is about -1.2, meaning that for every year of account age, the user is about 1.2 years older.

Nice idea for a research project, though. /hire
