The number of players vs rank histogram for KGS

This graph is based on the data received from Bill Shubert on March 3rd, 2005.

Median: 12k


zinger: Surprisingly normal-looking, at least to me. I was expecting it to be much flatter betwen maybe 20k-5k, and also thicker on the weak side of the bulge than the strong side. Shows how much I know :)

Calvin: Perhaps you're more used to seeing tournament data. See AGA Rating Histogram for a very different distribution.

nachtrabe: I hope nobody minds, but I've taken the liberty of cleaning up the graph a bit. You can still see the original: [ext] http://xs18.xs.to/pics/05096/kgs.png

KGS rank histogram based on the players who have confident rank (see data).
There are several local peaks: at 11-12k, 8-9k, 6k, and 2k. There is also a small peak at 16k.

%[DrStraw] - Here is another interesting graph. The three lines %represent the number of accounts of each rank in total, those %accessed in the last 3 months, and those accessed in the last %month. I was surprised at the remarkable similarity of each %graph. I expect that the accounts which have not been accessed %more recently would have shown a much stronger mean value.
