Platypus Brigade Vocab Word of the Day

Platykurtic: A flat-looking probability distribution, with a kurtosis value of less than 3, see curve B below.

See also the Platypus Brigade chart of character levels, which may or may not be platykurtic. Also other PB statistical type goodness, because I somehow didn’t spend enough quality time with Excel at work.




edit: now with new and improved charts

Is it just me or do the numbers not add up?
26 in classes
24 in races?
some people don't get to be a race?
also I need to get my druid in the guild as he is a poor sad little tauren that has no friends

I couldn't find a place where it shows race, and we've still got a few abandoned characters from Defenders of Honor / Azure Phoenix lying around, and I don't know what they are. So if things don't add up, I must have included them in the count of classes or levels.

Your druid is in, I just didn't realize it was yours. Make him bigger, we need more druidness.

I got a druid...on the dark side. haha. 38 last I checked. Could make one for Alliance one day but I dunno, Cow Ppl? I dunno. Nice charts very interesting to say the least. Nice work data monkey.

Well, I just deleted a blood elf paladin and made a tauren druid. So much for the accuracy of the charts. Oh well.

Good data pushing!

very informative...

I do wish we could have the data reflect Alt vs. Main information. But I'm assuming the data was pulled from the in-game guild windows.

I can do that. Sadly. Because I've wasted way too many brain cells on this game. More platypus goodness to come.
