also, yes there are better ways to determine similarity, but I'm pretty sure sputnik used to use a WORSE way to determine similarity, so this would be a step up. |

SCREAM!
04.14.16 | any way to check who is most closely correlated to me or would that be too complex?
tbh I have no idea how you're even doing this |
macman76
04.14.16 | @scream, I scraped the soundoff page (every rating including date, rating, and user information) of albums of those which a staff/contrib/emeritus reviewed. From there, match users and their common albums, calculate the percent related (if they combined had 100 unique albums rated, and 10 of them they both rated, their percent common albums is 10) and calculated the correlation of their ratings
as for who is the most closely related to you, that would take a ton of processing time, i could compare you individually to ~49000 users that are in this dataset, which is a lot |
DominionMM1
04.14.16 | whatever happened to that musical neighbors thing? |
SCREAM!
04.14.16 | Figured it would be too time consuming but since I wasn't sure what your method was I figured I'd ask just in case.
Thanks for the explanation though. My stats experience is basically limited to the 2 intro classes I had to take to get my accounting degree |

Gyromania
04.15.16 | haha damn potsy, arcade's ratings are on point this year imo
i read that whole page on correlation and it might as well have been gibberish. i still can't discern wth the point of this is, or how it even really works tbh. why can't articles like this present these things in a less ambiguous, more straight-forward way? |
ZombicidalMan
04.15.16 | Interesting. My ratings on here are very generic , I imagine I'll have the most commonality with more than one idiot |
Gyromania
04.15.16 | The main result of a correlation is called the correlation coefficient (or "r"). It ranges from -1.0 to +1.0. The closer r is to +1 or -1, the more closely the two variables are related.
If r is close to 0, it means there is no relationship between the variables. If r is positive, it means that as one variable gets larger the other gets larger. If r is negative it means that as one gets larger, the other gets smaller (often called an "inverse" correlation).
While correlation coefficients are normally reported as r = (a value between -1 and +1), squaring them makes then easier to understand. The square of the coefficient (or r square) is equal to the percent of the variation in one variable that is related to the variation in the other. After squaring r, ignore the decimal point. An r of .5 means 25% of the variation is related (.5 squared =.25). An r value of .7 means 49% of the variance is related (.7 squared = .49).
A correlation report can also show a second result of each test - statistical significance. In this case, the significance level will tell you how likely it is that the correlations reported may be due to chance in the form of random sampling error. If you are working with small sample sizes, choose a report format that includes the significance level. This format also reports the sample size.
like... what? how exactly did you apply any of that to this list? there are no real examples, or solid explanations for any of it. how can i do advanced maths and not understand this dumb statistics thing |
user
04.15.16 | mac do me and pots please honey |
Gyromania
04.15.16 | mac pls decode this correlation nonsense and explain in unambiguous terms what exactly you did for this list |
InbredJed
04.15.16 | woah, this is rad.
I can't believe you actually pulled this off. |
ChoccyPhilly
04.15.16 | @gyro He used albums both users had rated and observed how similar the ratings are amongst them. So the correlation coefficient refers to albums rated by both and how similarly rated they were between the two users. |
Artuma
04.15.16 | "how can i do advanced maths and not understand this dumb statistics thing"
because statistics is probably the geekiest thing there is and no one except for the ones who have it as their major don't even want to know how it's done |
Artuma
04.15.16 | ok that was a bit harsh i actually really like all kinds of stats but honestly this is like the epitome of autism |
Jasdevi087
04.15.16 | do me and calculatinginfinity, AnimalsAsSummit and crossparallel |
ChoccyPhilly
04.15.16 | I never studied stats and this wasn't that hard to understand. The stats in this guy's other list was far more complicated |
Gyromania
04.15.16 | i think maybe the concept itself isn't so hard to grasp, but the article he linked to was very poorly worded. mostly due to ambiguous phrasing and lack of application (there are no good examples in the article for how to actually use it) |
Ovrot
04.15.16 | do me, 0vrot and ovrotlivesagain |

macman76
04.15.16 | "because statistics is probably the geekiest thing there is and no one except for the ones who have it as their major don't even want to know how it's done"
with the increased interest in advanced methods in machine learning, this will become more true while stats/machine-learning will increasingly influence most aspects of our lives... so musical neighbors would be cool |
macman76
