Changes

  • Aggregate values for each time period rather than each day. This helps reasoning about differences between periods, which is difficult in the earlier format.
  • Explain what the experiment results mean.
  • Zoom to exclude major outliers by default. Otherwise, the significant region is too small to read.

Looking at review lengths day-by-day is not useful.
This aggregates all days for the same period.
Looking at review lengths day-by-day is not useful.
This was fun to watch during the experiment but is not useful afterward.
The variations by day aren't a meaningful variable in the experiment.
ParticipationStats already knows the dates that we are passing in.
Why require they be passed?
Moving away from date-based charts.
Because of the nature of the counting query, users who submitted 0
comments during a period were not represented in the statistics.
This was apparent because the number of comments per user in each period
was never reported to be less than 1.

This is difficult to accomplish in the original counting query, so
instead this patch fills 0s for each participating user (who commented
at least once during the experiment period) who isn't already
represented by a comment count.
Trying to fit all data into the graph makes none of the meaningful data
visible. You can still zoom out to see the full dataset.
Conflicts:

The side stats menu is now selecting tracks with some number of
implementations rather than problems.

Leaving the participation_stats feature flag in for now, until after this new implementation is shown to perform well in production.
