Hi Daniel

Thanks for the response. I've included some comments inline.

Hi All

On the mood analysis screen  https://s.apache.org/YImU

I’ve noticed the toggle on the mood analysis so would like to know exactly what 
this means.

Also if you click the box to toggle between the two modes then it’s not clear 
from the screen when you are using ‘Relative’ mode and when you are using 
‘Comparative’ mode.

The text in the charts change when you tick the box, and should explain
what it is.

Ah.. I see that now but am glad to hear the elaboration as it wasn't clear to 
me.

  If that's not clear enough, let me elaborate:

Standard (unticked) mode

So does standard mode = relative mode?

"relative/comparative" is *one* mode, it's either off or on :)
two words for the same mode.

If enabled, it compares moods to *all* lists it has, regardless of filtering.
If off, it only shows how that list (or those lists) are.


shows the moods as an 'absolute' value
unrelated to the average across lists. Moods are still relative to each
other (in that the median is close to 100), but they only reflect the
list(s) you have chosen to analyze.

Ok so to me this means that the relative mode shows the mood analysis say 
across one project if that is the filter being used. So with my Httpd example - 
in relative mode this gives me an indicator of the general mood profile for 
Httpd based on and in relation to the other moods that the Httpd project 
generates.

And the mood gauge in relative mode gives me an overall indication of the 
filtered project or view (e.g Httpd) based on the moods found in the sources 
for the filter. So the more positive the moods found, the higher the rating 
will be.

If my understanding is wrong then please correct me as I really need to get 
this as it is going to be part of my research :-)


Relative mode (ticked)

Should this be Comparative mode?

uses the same values, but compares them to the
overall moods found in *all* lists in the database.

So does this mean that you are comparing against all the sources for the 
organisation or if you have multiple organisations will it compare against all 
organisations?

 From what you say, it sounds like comparative mode (if that is what it is) 
compares the mood profile against everything. So Kibbletest will compare 
Httpd's mood profile against all the other projects loaded into Kibbletest.


Thus, on the right
side, a score of 50% or above means you are doing as well or better than
other lists in terms of happy moods, and a score lower than that would
mean the list(s) don't quite reflect the overall mood of all lists. On
the left side, the values are relative to overall mood as well, in that
100 means 'same as all the other lists', anything higher means a more
prevalent occurrence on the list(s) you picked, whereas a value lower
than 100 means it's less frequent there compared to the overall average.


OK this is good and this is clearer

So now I'm after more :-) Is there a way to compare the mood profiles of two 
different projects. For example, if I wanted to compare the profiles of Httpd 
and Beam, how could I do that?

I hope that helps, and if we need to work on the UI explanations, maybe
add a document to the documentation, then so be it :)

It does - thanks. I'd probably be happier with clearer explanations so will 
document what I can as I'm going through.

Thanks
Sharan


With regards,
Daniel.


Thanks
