PaiGow - Sun Jun 02, 2013 6:48 pm Post subject: Change calculating minavg ? MinAvg used to be running 30 day average of minimum clicks done/received each day. But that changed with last reset. Is this a bug or is there a new formula? Also, the average done and received has changed and no longer reflects the true average of clicks done and received.

Where are you getting your information? Just wondering so that I can look at it myself 
Taliesen - Mon Jun 03, 2013 4:52 am Hmm-I'm not sure PaiGow has the information-I think they're asking for information on whether the calculation changed. I actually have the same sort of question-my minavg dropped by 250 from 752 to 502 after the last reset-but based on a 30 day average it should have gone up. My min for 30 days prior was 324, and for yesterday it was 2209. I can't come up with any 30 day formula that would DROP my minavg by 250 in a single day unless at some point I had a day where my minimum number was over 7500 clicks-and that's never happened that I can recall. LOL I also noticed everyone in my Dynasty had a similar one day drop in their minavgs-so I was also wondering if there was some sort of change in the calculation. So the question is basically did the way it is calculated change or is this a glitch? Thanks. 
-Taliesen PaiGow - Mon Jun 03, 2013 5:43 am Well Dusty.. here are my "Total clicks minimum yesterday" for the past 30 days... Please average them and see what number you get. ( I have 5345 but somehow my MinAvg dropped to 4223 today) Either there is a bug or the method changed

From the How To Use Yarolds page: How are all the averages calculated? The averages are calculated as the mean of each stat done over the last 30 days. What is MinAvg? MinAvg is the mean of all the lowest stat done, calculated over 30 days. What is DynMinAvg? DynMinAvg is the mean of all the lowest dynasty stat done, calculated over 30 days. If there was any change, that was also changed in the "how to" page i guess PaiGow - Mon Jun 03, 2013 8:51 pm okay! I found the change and the bug. The change : Averages are now calculated over 60 days. The bug : Data only available back to 12 Apr. So there are currently 7 days of zeros used in the calculation (only 53 days of valid data as of this post). I think the problem will resolve itself over the next 7 days as more data is collected. Adios, Alba - Mon Jun 03, 2013 10:37 pm 
Dustydragon - Mon Jun 03, 2013 11:43 pm Yes there is a change in the minavg and it goes 60 days instead of 30 right now. I can understand the confusion. Taliesen - Tue Jun 04, 2013 3:18 am Ah HAH-thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated! -Taliesen Yarold - Tue Jun 04, 2013 5:31 pm I just want to confirm that its 60 days now, and faq was just updated. Alba - Tue Jun 04, 2013 9:25 pm 
PaiGow - Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:47 am It would really be nice if changes were announced by site owner or admins before ignorant players like myself has to figure them out and announce them first. Just my opinion.. cheers
