ATT: ALI - Question re UPS statistics

Hi Ali,
I took a look at your SISU (UPS) posting statistics at:
Can you please explain the meaning of the
column called "Cumulative %"? Thanks.

JoeH...

"cu·mu·la·tive adj.

1. Increasing or enlarging by successive addition."

Try adding the figures in the "Percent Posts" column. Rabbit's 11.48 %
plus 9.82% = 21.30% etc etc.

Ali...

That's right, but all that adding is too much like hard jbex, much better to
let the computer do it.

In March, half the posts came from just 10 posters, less than 7% of the
posters.

Thanks, Joe. See my joke in my reply to BoyPete. (g)

BoyPete...

Nope...........but now you know where the slang term 'rabbit' comes from ;)

Ali...

it's the percentage of the total posts posted by all posters above and
including that line.
So, in February 2006, over a fifth (21.3%) of all posts originated from just
two posters, over a quarter of posts (26.67%) from just three posters, over
half the posts from just 9 posters, and over three quarters pf posts from
just 22 posters (out of 138 total posters).

The figure is given for all posters, but the ones I mention above are the
ones I find of interest.
