more information gives better values right? =)
[Fishing] help with statistics
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:
Years ago Sutorix (the developer of Fishing Buddy) and I discussed an automated data collection option, but it never came to anything. Currently most data here is sampled, but primarily based on analysis of patterns:
Traditionally those patterns were a much easier way of understanding the catches than the raw data, since the same pattern would recur in many places/times periods/etc. Crudely that's why the information here is more accurate than sites like Wowhead, which have a high sample size, but don't capture the correct patterns within their sample size. For example, completely missing aspects like pool/open water differences, inland/coastal, time of day, junk catches due to skill, and so on.
So while it is generally true that more information gives better values, it is only truly true with the right information, not just more. In practice things work quite well with an initial sample and then people subsequently reporting oddities and changes they find.
makes sense, quality over quantity =) I just wanted to see how I could help
