I was thinking about what makes a great evening and
Ducasi recently seemed to be thinking the same.
I therefore thought, since it wouldn't really take that much effort, I'd try collecting some information for my evening to see if I can't then data mine it and find out any correlation between particular factors in how enjoyable an evening is (yes I know I'm crazy).
Anyway I was thinking about the data I should collect and the sets involved. I've come up with:
Quantitative Data:
Enjoyment: {Fantastic, Great, Good, Average, Poor, Bad}
Good Dances: {Most, Lots, Few, None}
Poor Dances: {Most, Lots, Few, None}
Playful Dances: {Most, Lots, Few, None}
Regular Dancers: {Most, Lots, Few, None}
Venue: {Good, Average, Poor}
Floor Space: {Good, Average, Poor}
Music: {Fantastic, Great, Good, Average, Poor, Bad}
Own Skill: {Good, Average, Poor}
Meta-Data
Mood At Beginning?
Type of Dance (eg Modern Jive, West Coast Swing)
Type of Event {Weekender, Party, Class}
Date
The sets are sets of values that should be allowed (as it helps with analysis). Can anyone think of anything else worth collecting?
There was a reason I put this in the Geek's Corner.
