The analysis of authors includes total impact, number of diaries, and the average impact per diary.
The analysis of readers includes the
number of recommendations awarded, the number of authors recommended,
the number and percent of their recommendations on the most recommended list (conversion),
and a ratio reflecting how much better the recommendations they made matched
the top hit list than would the same number of random picks.
rec = number of diaries recommended
authors = number of authors recommended
TopHits = number of recommended diaries in top hit list
conversion = 100 * TopHits/rec; percent of recommended diaries on top hit list
ratio = TopHits/predicted, where
predicted = ntop * rec/ndiaries, where
ntop = number of diaries in top hit list = 150
ndiaries = total number of diaries = 1640
NB: Rankings and numbers of diaries are based on a best effort to comprehensively collect and count all user diaries posted to dailykos.com, including those later withdrawn. Titles shown will not reflect changes made later in the week. Production of this list was timed to ensure expiration of the recommendation period for all diaries considered.
