I did some maths and stats, and have concluded a good way of seeing your trend is to multiply your percentile finishing by your score for that competition

(Prash, I replied. If you want to it might be interesting to upload that chart and put it next to the scores over time one.)

I like to think of it as `consistant`.

That looks sooo cool!!! Beware.. it looks like Google's stock performance chart before they took off;-)

kirbic, hope you don't mind* but I did the same with your scores.
I'm very interested in the percentile vs score plot. I think it makes sense, but it trends up in yours, as it didn't with Prash's, over the percentile of 80.

* if you do mind PM me and I'll take it down.

I started off ok, shot up, became extremely erratic, nosedived and then flatlined.

As long as it doesn't look like GE's chart before they crashed!

So, you want a DPC statistician? Ok. What do you want to know?

I took a multivariate approach to my scores. Final result: I'm getting better with experience.

But, if you'd like to know more, I'll take a gander at your scores. If there is something specific you'd like to know, I can tune in on it better.

Another way to look at it. If you use Shewart's control chart concept and Western Electrics rules for control your scores look like they have common variation around a mean of 4.9. There is no appreciable trend in the data. Without a significant change you can expect to continue to vary up and down from that mean.

This 'Art' dude is super creative! If he is not in a creative profession, he's gotta watch this recent blockbuster '3 Idiots'. Part of this movie is about a guy following his passion of photography professionally;-)

Yes, quite. After performing principal component analysis I have identified 3 components, attributed to
1) Tall buildings (14.95 %)
2) Bananas (2.4 %)
3) Cameos in DPC photos (82.65 %)

Hah. For a second I thought you said you did ICA and for a split second thought you isolated each voter, and was like "whoah!"

Great idea Prash! It was interesting to chart it. I guess I need to enter more challenges. From the looks of mine...I'd say I'm extremely consistent :/

That was a fun exercise! It is interesting that my overall "comments received" trendline is down, but just looking at the previous 50 it trended up (same for scores to a lesser degree). I wonder if that was DPL influence...

Anyone care to make observations?

Clearly there has been some improvement...

ETA:

I think I need to work on my consistency.. I'm all over the place with regards to placement..
