macman76: Stat Tank | Sputnikmusic

macman76 02.28.18	“I’ll take a 5% stake at $3.45 million” “that would be so great... that’s a ... $69 million valuation... wait”
Frippertronics 02.28.18	Uhhh Maybe one on what determines our BNM or one on what determines the order of the album charts?
macman76 02.28.18	BNM? The charts are easy, average of the album ratings, albums have to have 20 or more ratings.
Relinquished 02.28.18	stats on when mx will apply actual changes
macman76 02.28.18	@relinquished what did I say about using these pitches for comedic purposes?
Frippertronics 02.28.18	@macdaddy Best new music. I know i've heard the explanation of how it has to have a 3.5+ mean from contribs/staff but i wanna know the nitty gritty of it (like how many of us need to rate it higher than 3.5 to get it made BNM)
macman76 02.28.18	Ahhh, I’m gonna have to interview myself, cuz I have a better tangent idea: what leads to the trending albums ordering?
Chortles 03.01.18	wouldn't mind seeing the top 250 users app make a comeback tbh
Relinquished 03.01.18	idk never read a statician’s stance on comedy
macman76 03.01.18	Well your proposal has been... revoked, or a synonym to that effect
TVC15 03.01.18	Yeah I’d also love to see the top 250 users app return
Dewinged 03.01.18	The folk asked me to find the average age for Sput from the Sputnik birthday lists I made, and I said that's a job for MACMAN! u think you can work with it?
macman76 03.01.18	@dewinged I could do a mini post on it maybe, link me
bgillesp 03.01.18	So you know how objectivity is based on have a 3.0 rating average. Well what is the average rating for all albums on the site? Probably too much data to pull but I've always wondered
Dewinged 03.01.18	Here u go mac: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1090070&listid=176369 https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1090070&listid=176451
macman76 03.01.18	@bgil I've answered this at some point, from the top 250 users data.. the average album rating (what you see as the sputnik score) among 35000+ albums with more than 15 ratings is ~3.6, and the distribution looks like this https://imgur.com/a/TwvbN the average rating of all the ratings albums i scraped, which was 119000+ albums and 5,657,000 ratings, is ~ 3.7
bgillesp 03.01.18	Oh neat. Then my suggestion is an app that scrapes the data of all the albums a specific user has rated (so like if i wanted to use it it would take my ratings) and find the average sput rating for those only, then compare the user's personal average rating to see if they underrate, overrate, or match the sput average
neekafat 03.01.18	Still think you should do the swearing per genre thing (;
macman76 03.01.18	@bgill i'll take it under consideration
Aberf 03.01.18	stats for users affinity. Like comparing 2 users rated albums and show the similarities and differences.
macman76 03.01.18	@aberf not a bad suggestion but... https://www.sputnikmusic.com/blog/2017/07/25/statnik-2-musical-neighbor-boogaloo/ theres a lot "simpsons did it" to this thread, lol
Frippertronics 03.01.18	dude how about finding out how many "/m" posts there have been
bgillesp 03.01.18	You mean "m/"?
TheSpaceMan 03.01.18	average proportionality coef between user comments and ratings?
Frippertronics 03.01.18	@bgill ye
bgillesp 03.01.18	@SpaceMan, that sounds cool, you could throw in lists and reviews too unless that creates some divide by 0 error
DarkTyler 03.01.18	delete your blog
macman76 03.01.18	what would GoodTyler say?
macman76 03.01.18	@fripp sold, I have a plan to do something with review comments, when i get around to it i'll set up a quick interview between us @space, you mean the correlation... and here they are, dont know how this will look, this is for the 2017 chart data but probably matches general ratings Rating ratings reviews lists comments Rating 1.00 -0.16 -0.07 -0.05 -0.08 specific to your question, the more you rate the lower Ratings you give (-.16 correlation) and same with the more lists, reveiews, and comments you do.
DarkTyler 03.01.18	he would ask for an interview
macman76 03.01.18	does either tyler have a good idea?
TheSpaceMan 03.01.18	yeah i guess i did, i aint no statistician. but interesting data
macman76 03.01.18	if you do it via rank order correlation, which is probably more appropriate since the count data is really skewed, its: Rating ratings reviews lists comments Rating 1.00 -0.29 -0.12 -0.16 -0.20
Demon of the Fall 03.01.18	@bgillesp: that would be super-interesting (to me at least), I'd like to '2nd' that idea macman. The issue with using 3.00 as the 'optimal' average for objectivity (apart from the fact 3 doesn't seem to be the universal average between users) is that if you mainly listen to highly rated albums then your average score is likely to be much higher (almost) by default. And who in their right mind purposefully listen to rubbish to 'fix' their objectivity?... ok maybe Doof does.
macman76 03.01.18	Keep em coming
bgillesp 03.01.18	Percent of first lists accompanied by same-day second lists
TwigTW 03.01.18	^that would be great, lol. What about user activity averages? How long does the average user stay active (ratings and/or comments)? Has the average changed over the years? . . . Or something like that.
neekafat 03.01.18	Figuring out what objectivity actually means
macman76 03.01.18	@neeka the final calculation I don’t know, but it’s how close your ratings are to an average of 3 and variance of 1.
macman76 03.01.18	@twig I kinda did this https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=633232&listid=165922
TwigTW 03.01.18	Ok, thanks, I'll check that out!
AlexKzillion 03.01.18	"Best new music. I know i've heard the explanation of how it has to have a 3.5+ mean from contribs/staff but i wanna know the nitty gritty of it (like how many of us need to rate it higher than 3.5 to get it made BNM)" Could have sworn the best new music feature was just staff picks lol
bgillesp 03.01.18	@Mac, that list was great but didn't answer how many people break the 1lpd rule when they first join
Sniff 03.01.18	Do something like the most popular genres on here or something like that
macman76 03.01.18	The top 250 users app had stuff like that, I even did a history of the entries of genres in a list. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=633232&listid=171611
Sniff 03.02.18	Neat
