Description
EqD Article: www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02…Basic statistical analysis of the screentimes of the Mane 6 + Spike.
EDIT: Found a singular error in the first episode (Twilight has now 30 seconds less of screentime).
S1 & S2 & S3 analysis: fav.me/d5kzo28
If you want to help by giving sugessions for my next analysis: fav.me/d4qteis
On average, I analyzed an episode a day (and each took me 2-3 hours).
Tons of paper were wasted on this, but I am satisfied with the results.
Margin of error:
Since the timers of the video players I used show only full seconds, I had to guess how the fractions of seconds were long when added up together.
On average, in each episode there may be a 10 second difference between the real screentime of a character and the screentime I calculated - but since it can be either more or less than reality, given the number of episodes and the fact that all of the characters are prone to this miscalculation, the overall screentime difference will probably be negligable.

Yay Rares got second. Your math amazes me.

You should include Derpy - Could be interesting to see how she compares

Fluttershy seems to be the 3rd most on-screen character...
I guess I'm fine with this

Mother of God, this was seriously on my to do list for months but I never got around to it. Very impressive.

Thanks.
Heh, I also held it on my to-do list for long. I think I waited 1-3 months (not sure) before I finally started making it.

Corrected it. Now you don't even have to click the button.

Too big pictures act sometimes like this. You can still view it by clicking "Download Image" button on the right (it doesn't actually make you download the image; it just opens its bigger version in another window).

And so you see, clearly Twilight is best pony. >:3

Thanks, dude.

I'm thinking of bringing this information to school with me, you wouldn't mind would you?

No prob; just inform others that, if they want, they can come here and send me suggestions for my next statistical analysis, because so far I heve WAY to few ideas (link in description).

Thanks for the data, must be tough work.
I used them to generate the cumulative frequency of distribution, it's not really easy to read but it shows interesting features over the time: [link]

I don't really have any clue what that means, but I don't like Fluttershy being at the bottom for a large segment of that graph

Dang... You must REALLY love math.
But anyways, thanks; I'll take it as a compliment.

Very comprehensive (and time-consuming) chart, great work.

a VERY elaborate excuse to watch s1 over and over! I see what you did, justifying your pony fix in the name of statistics.

Holy pony, man! You should sell this to Hasbro!

This is pretty damn amazing. As a statistic-loving Brony, thanks a lot for this, man!!

Very awesome stuff! I hope we see more from you in future this is really fascinating.

Yessir! *salutes and canters off to spread the word which is finally not the bird*
Sorry I couldn't help myself

Wow.... that's some painstaking work, right there.... so awesome!

Season 2 would likely have a more varying chart. That'd be interesting to see.

I will analyze season 2 screentimes after my other statistical analysis.

Err couldn't you make the graph bigger? Yes I can still see it but I want to read the extra details. No I'm not going to download it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The download button just opens a window with an enlarged image. You don't download it unless you right-click it and choose "save image as".

Most impressive work, I must say! My only real complaint about the presentation of the data is that it would've made more sense to use a grouped bar graph or something similar. A line graph is ideal for when your Y axis is a continuous metric like time - the line segments act as a visual interpolation of the sampling points and an approximation of the data that would fall between those points. In this instance, your Y axis is a discrete metric (episode number), and each position along that axis has no meaningful relation to the one before or after it; thus, the connecting line segments only serve to add visual clutter and distract from the actual data points.
This sort of thing takes a lot of dedication to put together, though, and I applaud you for that! Pretty neat to see how the characters get handled throughout the season.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but the lines connecting the points in episodes make it easier to track each character's screentime; imagine how it would be painful to the eyes if there were so many bars or just points. Bars in 3d would make it also mor difficult to compare side-by-side so many characters - unless you could rotate them in 3 dimensions.

Łał, stary (no pun intended), wymiatasz! Zawsze, zawsze chciałam zobaczyć takie statystyki. Wyobrażałam sobie mierzenie czasu, kiedy jakakolwiek część ciała widoczna jest na ekranie (co robiłeś z głosami z offscreenu, nawiasem?), ale zawsze w sferze szalonych, obsesyjnych rzeczy, których nikomu nigdy nie chciałoby się zrobić, bo po co. A ty to zrobiłeś. Kurczę, jesteś mistrzem! Chylę czapki.
Planujesz tak kiedyś przemaglować drugi sezon? ; )
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Drugi sezon też zanalizuję, ale wpierw chyba inne ciekawostki statystyczne sobie zbadam: ciekawostki demograficzne Ponyville - populacja, ilość konkretnych instytucji wymaganych by zaspokoić potrzeby mieszkańców, statystyki śmierci mieszkańców, ekonomia. itp.
Jestem dużo w tyle ze studiami, bo interesują mnie inne tematy matematyczne niżeli te obecnie wymagane do zdania- nawet, o dziwo, statystyka; ale w końcu ten graf wymagał tylko cierpliwości, żadnych zaawansowanych obliczeń.

Powodzenia! I ze studiami, i z demografią Ponyville. Oszacuj populację, a będę klękać. Ciekawa jestem, co zrobisz z klonami i ze zjawiskiem związanym z całkowitym wyludnieniem miasta ("May the Best Pet Win" - pewnie było święto, albo godzina policyjna). I czemu nikt nie korzysta z biblioteki? To smutne.

Ignorowałem głosy, bym mógł sobie słuchać muzyki. Ciągłe słuchanie przerywanych co dwie sekundy kwestii postaci by było po czasie frustrujące.
