UM "You Pick 2" Tier List

Right now when the 32 voters are ranked from Fluffer at #1 to Cynic at #32 you rank #20 (which is a tie with you and @Southern_Dan) .

If you look at just the 14 people that have voted on every poll (of which you are one), then you rank at #11 (again tied with Dan)

You voted with the winning tier (on a popular basis) 46% of the time, and voted with the winning tier (on a weighted basis) 50% of the time. Additionally when you aren’t voting with the winning tier your vote is typically lower than that tier.

Don’t everyone ping me for something like this, I’m just providing it to Sociable here because I put a lot of the leg work into formulas and automating stuff in my excel sheet because it was a slow day at work, and figured I’d throw it out since it’s fresh data.

Edit: 46% not 43%

At the end of this, in addition to the “universal” stats or whatever I was thinking about giving all the frequent voters a breakdown similar to the above. If you have ideas for what it should include let me know

I haven’t tried working on the “UMfriend” idea yet, so not sure how feasible it is.

The updated list of data points I’ll be providing at the end of this is:

  • All songs in order by weight
  • All songs in order by weight (modified by consensus factor)
  • Songs with different popular and weighted tiers
  • Songs with highest consensus
  • Songs with least consensus
  • Total number of songs in each tier (probably just weighted, not popular because there’s been ties)

Then the individual stats (fluffer vs jaded, most shared with the popular tier, most shared weighted tier, possibly the UMfriend thing)

Lastly there will be some random/miscellaneous data points worth mentioning

I need to do another side poll to fix some jank that occurs on the analysis side due to the popular vote being a tie between 2 tiers:

When the popular vote is a tie between 2 tiers
  • The weighted tier should become the winning tier
  • That song should be removed from popular vote based analysis
  • Neither of those 2 (suggest below)

0 voters

This is an issue with 2nd Self and 40’s Theme right now. 2nd is a popular vote tie between B and C, but is weighted to a B. 40’s is a popular vote tie between A and B, but is weighted to a B. Funny enough 2nd Self, even though it was a B/C tie actually ranks higher on a weighted basis (and weighted modified by consensus basis) than 40’s which was an A/B tie.

An alternative could be to give it a + or - rating. In your example for 40s, you could give it an A- or B+. Since it’s weighted lower, give it the lower of the two; B+.

This probably has unintended consequences that I’m not thinking of.

Or just list it as “A-/B+” and leave it at that for your rankings.

I don’t think removing it from popular vote analyses is the right answer though.

I thought about the plus/minus grades but it’d add more complications to the consensus formula and what I’ve started working on for the UMfriend stuff.

When it comes to the songs ranked by weight I’m already going to have markers for the crossover between S/A and A/B etc so it’ll be somewhat intuitive what the minuses and pluses are, but bringing those into a definitive number adds a lot more complexity to what I was already planning. It’s certainly matmatically possible, but it would cloud most other analysis I was planning.

Thanks for that! As a complete math/stats nerd this spoke to me.

What is your favorite UM song

we need to know who to shame

Hard to pick my favorite, but I love Hurt Bird Bath, Ringo, Tinkle’s, heavier jams or soaring uplifting jams

The results are visible after the poll closes. We can shame people then. No different than music league or sheep.
