snoboy Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 July 1st more likely, since he is a Canuck and all. Quote
Dru Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 wasn't there already a thread about this you post count vultures? Quote
snugtop Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Dru, you should be busy compiling your "Best of Dru's threads" thread.... Quote

Dru Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 scientifically  19523 posts reg'd 02/08/01 currently 06/14/04  that is (365+365+365+127) days =1222 days  19523/1222 = 15.98 or call it 16 posts per day on average  so now 20,000-19,523 = 477 posts to go 477/16= 29 and 13/16ths  so i will make my 20, 000th post 29.8125 days from now. that will be july 14th. assuming 2 posts/hr over an 8 hr day, july 14th at 2:30 PM.  the miracle of science Quote
snugtop Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 For the record, my guess was closer than Loosey's Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 scientifically  I expect a 95% confidence interval to be included to qualify any estimation of t(20,000) along with a statistical justification for employing the method of raw average posting rate to arrive at this prediction. Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Science without data is religion and data without statistics is very poor artwork Quote
Dru Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Science without data is religion and data without statistics is very poor artwork  well anyone with a grain of sense would actually see that my post count has steadily increased from like 1 a day back in feb '01 up to its current level so the actual curve is non linear thus producing a closer ETA than July 14 Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I demand visual evidence! Hey I bet a moderator could pull that stuff up. Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 So.... Â Here we have a graph of Dru's last 1000 posts, the raw data for which was extracted from here: Â http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/dosearch.php?Cat=0&Forum=All_Forums&Name=357&Searchpage=0&Limit=1000& Â Â We can see that the over the past couple of months Dru's posting frequency has indeed been linear, with an R^2 value of 0.97 and a posting frequency of about 22 posts per day. This means that should his posting frequency maintain its linear trend, post 20,000 should occur in 21.4 days, or roughly on the morning of Tuesday, July 6th. This does not take into account the obviously visible anomalies in the data due to periods of diminished posting by Dru, presumably during weekends. Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Â Here we observe that unlike Dru, Cracked posts much more uniformly, with a linearity that is more precise than even the R^2 value suggests (due to the uncharacteristic lull in posts near the beginning of the data set). Conclusion: Cracked needs to go climbing. Quote
