Questions about the DR:

1. So, it is no longer possible top calculate the DR of a country from looking at a news, since you don't know how much players oversend, yes? You can only approximate based on 110% oversend or whatever?


2. Continuous DR formula: DR_MULTIPLIER = DR_HITS<13 ? MIN( 1, 0.1+((DR_HITS-13)^2)/DR_HITS : 0.1

I'm not understanding this formula. If DR_HITS is 3.14 from summing up the various halflifes, then
DR_MULTIPLIER = MIN( 1, 0.1+((3.14-13)^2)/3.14)
which is MIN(1, 31.06) which is just 1?

DR_HITS would have to be 10 to give a DR_MULTIPLIER of exactly 1, so a country needs to have taken more than 10 hits to start entering DR for the multiplier to be just less than 1?


Good catch Xin; I mis-transcribed my excel sheet -- it's actually:
DR_MULTIPLIER = DR_HITS<13 ? MIN( 1, 0.1+((DR_HITS-13)^2)/135 : 0.1

Finally did the signature thing.
