Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

It's not one of my areas of expertise. Clearly he's the better choice in that regard.

You should rate walruses too.

Your average rating so far seems to be 6.3/10, and that's only because you gave someone 0/10 for their submission not being a cat. My point being, shouldn't the average rating be 5/10?

[–]l_RATE_CATS 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Somehow, you've managed to both prove and disprove your comprehension of averages in the same paragraph... I don't even...what? :P All joking aside:

5/10 would be "average" on the scale being that it is the absolute median, but the averages of my ratings don't calculate to 5/10 because the distribution of ratings does not average to 5/10. The 0/10 is an outlier and in some cases can be excluded from the calculations depending on the nature of the study. I gave a score of 0/10 because that particular submission compares the cuteness of a ferret to that of a cat. This is like comparing apples to oranges, and on the apple scale, the orange gets a 0. It's only math, nothing to take personally.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

My understanding was that things rated on a ten point scale should all average out to 5, the halfway point in between 1 and 10. Sort of like how IQs are set up so that 100 is always the average. I guess I was wrong; I've never taken a statistics class, if you couldn't tell already.

[–]lanaius 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The median IQ is 100, the mean varies. The median is defined as the 50% point of the sample population, that is half of the samples are above and half are below. Depending on the skew of the samples, the mean does not have to (and in most real cases doesn't) equal the median.

[–]IsABot 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for median over mean.

[–]Akeshi 2 points3 points ago

This is not how statistics work.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How does it work, then? I am asking genuinely here. I was not attacking anybody, it was just a question.

[–]lanaius 0 points1 point ago

It's easiest to get that average if the underlying distribution is symmetric about 5/10 (Normal, Uniform). The scale goes from 0 to 10 (presumably inclusive, I don't know if he's given a 10 before) but is not guaranteed to use that range in any particular manner. It merely guarantees that no cat will "crank it to 11".

Specifically, Depending on which set of verbage you'd like to use the average is the expectation of the random variable, which would be I_RATE_CATS's ratings. The expectation is the sum(rating_i * probability_i). In a uniform distribution each rating would have probability 1/11 and the expectation would be 5/10. Wiki will give you the equation to calculate the probability of each rating for a normal distribution, but in short you give the mean as a parameter so it is guaranteed to be 5/10.

[–]Akeshi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not going near the detail of other explanations - what if it was his first rating? Would that have to be 5/10? If it was 8/10, then it'd 'average out' to 8/10!

And for the second rating? If the first was 5/10, the second would have to be 5/10. If the first was 8/10 (which it can't be!) the second would have to be 2/10.

" But she was unamused. What else was he to say to the horrible look of dread, remorse, and guilt on her face from the dawning comprehension of what she had done the night before, but more importantly, with whom. A vortex of sadness sucked both the joke, and any humor with it, out of the room. He was only left with a fragile sense of self-confidence as she feebly gathered her clothes, hiding every bit of naked flesh that she could while standing in front of him the weakest of excuses for why she had to leave immediately. Each one of these pebbles of plight to her need for flight slammed firmly into the walls of his glass house. Only his swiftly shut door was needed to bring down the rest. But as soon as that fired glass structure went down, a fortress of stone quickly rose to replace it. "Fuckin-a" he said as he nodded. "I did in her ASS." His alarm turned on with the setting of playing the radio. It was "Flight of Icarus" by Iron Maiden. And it was epic.

Here a tabby cat is laying on what appears to be a floral-patterned couch. It is laying on its back, belly exposed, with its head in the corner of the armrest and couch backing, giving it the appearance of a laid-back redneck watching 'the race' or perhaps your slightly narcoleptic uncle who smells vaguely of gym socks. A Heineken beer has been placed on his belly for added comic effect.

The cat yawns, and as his belly expands the the beer moves slightly with it. The feline's front right extremity stretches out in an almost "oh, you!" fashion, and the left front extremity twitches slightly.

The cat then resumes its nap, further reinforcing the lazy redneck, or narcoleptic uncle caricature previously mentioned.

Read this again.

Very much so. It dances well more than it should be, so not even that great an edit. Still, the cat alone is pretty cute. :D

[–]play3393 0 points1 point ago

I disagree. It appears to move when the cat breaths...not that it really matters. The vid probably would have been better without it.

Its stretching its fingers apart I think. The skin and fur sort of stretches between the fingers and makes it seem bigger.
