But there clearly was a radical change in the process around 2018. Among all the presidents who completed their mandate after that date, the average, mode, and mean are 91 felonies per president.

@sabik @carnage4life @steve oh no, don't ignore a felon having had power. this is where modal analysis comes into play: "in a bimodal distribution, presidents have committed either zero or ninety two felonies"

@sabik @carnage4life 42% of statistics are made up

@sabik @carnage4life

@sabik @carnage4life But are you talking about statistics, or just the math? Pure math does not care about outliers, only statistics do.

It's like saying since Peter ate some of John's apples, he was thrown out of the room and should not be counted.

@sabik @carnage4life I'd say there is a subtle difference between 'the average president has been charged with 2 felonies' (which is false for the reason you mentioned) and 'the average number of felonies that each president has been charged with is 2' (which is mathematically correct, but should be viewed as 'before interpretation' and so 'before removing outliers from the data set').

@sabik Bonus points for "adn". Well done.

@sabik Amazing how many of the replies don’t recognize the standard “outlier should not have been included” meme template. @carnage4life

@sabik @carnage4life we hope he’s an outlier and that he’s not a teflon don.
