I found the source. they've plotted the x-axis as a log plot for the data, but then plopped that equation on top of it as if it was linear and each bar was 1 minute. I.e. as if x=131,072 was x=19 and x=never was x=20. Or in other words, what they've plotted isn't y = 23.124 e^[-0.120 x], it's y = 23.124 * x^[-0.120/(loge2)] or something like that. In the text, they do recognize that it is a power-law distribution, so I have no idea why they decided to put that wrong equation on the plot. How they came to this fitting function is anyone's guess; it is descrived as an "estimated curve" rather than a fitting function. The x=0, y=25 bar should not appear on this graph (as well as the NEVER bar, but that one's more obvious). Each bar is twice the time of the previous, and half the time of the next. Except the first bar is infinity times less than the second bar. Lastly, I was confused about the sample size. The data clearly shows the survival rate at each time for an original sample size of N=25; i.e. of 25 vandalisms, 5 get corrected and 20 survive within the first minute, etc. So how on earth can that data be collected from "100 random articles"? Surely 25 vandalisms are on at most 25 different articles. It turns out that they looked at 100 random articles' edit history, found the most recent vandalism, and used that (which doesn't seem like a statistically sound method, because articles get vandalized at different rates). So of the 100 they looked at, only 25 had ever been vandalized. So that explains that. The raw data is in there if anyone wants to take a crack at plotting it and coming up with a better fitting function.

I think it's funnier to imagine they selected 100 random articles, vandalized them, and then waited 91 days to see if they got fixed. Edit: (they repeated this 25 times to be scientific )

Even Afrikaners realised 'y' was always the way to go. But now the Dutch don't want to give any credence to South Africans.

Adhemar posted:I’m the 1965 parent somehow keeping a child alive spending only 25 minutes a day with them. There must be a method error here. Hypothesis: Families were larger, and they've divided the "time with children" metric by the number of kids to come up with the plotted "time spent with child" metric? My mom's generation grew up with 4 siblings and a stay-at-home mom, there's no way they had less time with their mothers than my daughter does, but if we split my time by 5, this plot might look more reasonable.

Also there's a big difference between a 3 year old and a 10 year old, let alone teenagers. You can safely ignore the 10 year old if you need to and leave them with friends, but the 3 year old is gonna hurt themself or something before an hour has passed. If your low sample sizes also don't account for age, that's barely even worthwhile data.

Love to look at charts meant to show a trend and see all the data points have overlapping confidence intervals before nodding at a job well done. Love to read in a meta analysis "research has confirmed our memories are not distorted." Definitely reviewing literature with an open mind.
