When we started looking at names based on data extracted by SocialCops from Delhi’s voter rolls, we were particularly drawn to the relationship between ages and names. One great example of work on this is by data journalism pioneers Fivethirtyeight.com. On similar lines, there is quite a lot you can say about someone's age based on their name in Delhi too.
For this, we looked at the ages of all people with a given name, and calculated their median age. The median is the age of the mid-point of the distribution, meaning that you’d find half of all people with that name on either side of the median. The median Delhi voter is 37 years of age, so looking up your name gives you a good idea of whether your name is more popular among younger people or older people. read rest of the article and see the graphs using median on http://www.thehindu.com/data/what-your-name-says-about-your-age/article8124289.ece regards Guru IT for Change, Bengaluru www.ITforChange.net -- EnglishSTF Link: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/englishstf -- *For doubts on Ubuntu and other public software, visit http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions **Are you using pirated software?
