Well gang, here's the first taste of the results from the Ultimate Song Poll thread:
http://nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15492
First some preliminaries:
- A whopping 66 of you participated in the thread. Amazing! Truly kudos to all. [8D]
- I took submissions from the old poll where people didn't resubmit to the new one, you know, stiffs like MikeP. [}:)]
- I tried to include all submissions despite many not meeting the format requests and resultantly being a giant pain in the ass.
- The only submissions that were deleted were ones that were not ranked, figuring that applying points to unranked lists unfairly skews the poll. Sorry.
- There were 3297 rows of songs imputed (some people missed a song or two), comprising 1755 distinct songs. Sheesh!
- Of these, only 296 songs were selected 3 or more times.
- An additional 249 songs were selected twice, leaving 1210 songs selected only once. Holy crap!
- If there are errors, please let me know. They most likely would be repeated songs arising from spelling errors (pivot tables don't pick these up and my poor eyes can take only so much proof reading).
The basic rankings will come first to be followed by correlation matrices later once I get a chance to digest.
