Method of analysis:
On Microsoft EXCEL, I created a column with the slope of the line
fitting the Yule I scores for each of the 50 threads. I then created a
column with the number of comments for each thread. The number of
comments can be seen on the front page of the thread, and I had gathered
it for each thread during earlier analysis.
I then used Excel’s in-built Regression tool with the slope of Yule I
increase or decrease of each post as the X range and the number of
comments as the Y range.
“SuperYule” Results
The Mean Yule I level was 17.01. The Yule I values ranged from -197.32
to 356.80, a range of 554.12.
