new studies coming
we’ve resumed our data-centric analysis at our new mandala (_42, no website yet). one of the works being done now is getting the whole data set ready for statistical analysis. almost done. but the funniest thing was the graph of how i liked other people, subjectively. in 570 data points, guess what, i got a bell curve. this means, so far, the best way to model encounters is a random variable. we are slowly separating variables from each other, so expect a lot of charts soon.
so for now, here is the raw “hate to love” chart, 1 being hate, 5 being love. fits my prediction almost exactly, to all my guests that doubted my graphs on the wall tiles. is this confirmation bias? i don’t think so, because there seems to be a negative bias on my part. this fits psychology, that humans have a negative bias. we are also going to add further ratings by different people, to clean up the personal effect. this will only work for about 100 data points, but should be good.
data set: 570 guests
one of the key studies will be sexism on cs. we’ll add more info about this soon. we will change genders every week and see how that affects requests (gender bias and quantity). we are also working out how different spaces affected scores and other things. we are on our third place. one of the hypothesis i want to test is whether the place itself changes the people we meet and how we get along.
