[comp.sys.mac.misc] sumex statistics?

ireland@ac.dal.ca (02/28/91)

There is a file in the help subdirectory at sumex called "popular-files.txt".
It lists all the files available and gives statistics about them.
Could someone explain what the "# accesses/month" statistic means?
I would have guess that one divided the total number of times the file
had been read by the number of months the file has been there, but this
is not the case. One example of this is a file that had been at sumex
for 30 days, had been read over 1100 times, and the # accesses/month
is listed as 671 (or approx. 1/2 the number I would have calculated).
Am I missing something?

Just curious, Keith Conover   ireland@ac.dal.ca
