Groc's and a Market

A farmer is selling fruits and vegetables next to the grocery store:

This is the end II

Considering this rather low support count (in regards to the 10K aim), I tried to see how I was doing compared to other projects, so here is my analysis:
I took the supports counts of the 33 ending soonest projects. I admit the sample is too small to be accurate enough, but this gives a good idea.
So, the results are:
Average final supports count: 944
Median value: 436
So, what do we learn here?
  • whatever your idea, you cannot end with less than 50 votes,
  • most ideas end with between 100 and 500 supporters,
  • the mean is clearly above the median, which means that a few ideas are skewing the results.
Or, if we split the data like this:
we could consider these 4 categories (this is a subjective interpretation):
  • not serious ideas,
  • not good enough ideas,
  • good ideas,
  • amazing ideas.
And so, at the end, it shows that my idea is a not good enough and below the average one, which is what I was trying to determine.

PS: I really have to make an IP/non-IP comparative analysis, but for this, I need more data. So we'll keep this for later.

PPS: Also, please note that these numbers do not include ideas having achieved support (because they are not ending soon). Including them would probably skew the results a little more.

This is the end

Yes, this is the end.
You may have seen the update on my latest submission.
I try to apply the same method here to see if it is right or not.
So, let's go:
This is the daily support reported by Lego Ideas.
This leads us to:
The raw cumulated support for the first 40 days is in blue and the orange curve is an approximation using the following function:
y = 11.9603+37.9095*ln(x)
Extrapolated to 500 days, this gives a final support count of about 250, which is slightly under the actual count.
So, if we try to do the same thing but skip the first 10 days, this gives:
where the final count is still slightly underestimated but a little closer to the actual value.
OK, so, what's the point?
I don't know.

First milestone: Mission: Impossible

Statistics are funny on the first day: I should reach the first milestone in 1970...
Too bad I wasn't event born to see that:

Edit: they're far less funny the following days...
