I guess this is pretty obvious, but when you create numbers for something generated by an actor (as something that makes the activation) within that area, those numbers should be normalized against the number of actors. There are a whole lot of articles being read in Norwegian from China, does that mean Chinese people are darn good at reading Norwegian? Or does it mean that there are a whole lot of Chinese people? I'm pretty sure the later is more correct than the former.
This kind of errors are pretty common. At Statistics Norway (been there, done that, etc…) they used an example about kindergarten where statistics had been used by a politician as an example of a municipality with especially good services, it had the highest amount of kindergarten in the whole country. The problem was, the number of children was also of the highest, and the probability of a child to actually get a place in kindergarten was pretty low. So please normalize the numbers! =) On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 11:15 PM, Nuria Ruiz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello from Analytics team: > > Just a brief note to announce that Wikistats 2.0 includes data about > pageviews per project per country for the current month. > > Take a look, pageviews for Spanish Wikipedia this current month: > https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/es.wikipedia.org/reading/ > pageviews-by-country > > Data is also available programatically vi APIs: > > https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS/ > Pageviews#Pageviews_split_by_country > > We will be deploying small UI tweaks during this week but please explore > and let us know what you think. > > Thanks, > > Nuria > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
