I did not use the above, but thought I should generate it. --Paddy3118 (talk) 20:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Weighted sums

The specified weights look like they are meant to be percentages (all=100), but the specification for missing weights seems to be fractional (all=1). I think that this deserves either a bit more explanation (as to why the use of "1" for default weight is correct) or correction. --Rdm (talk) 01:53, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rdm, Those weights are not percentages - They are "fractions of the sum of the weights" at that level. I was playing around with what weight to apply to house1 and house2 and rejected 1, 2 then eventually considered 2, 3 and realised that for those integers it would be the same as 4, 6 and 40, 60 - saw the total weight being 100, and the:

1. Ease of hand calculation.
2. Similarity to prcentages.

And so went with that. Never thinking that it might confuse rather than help.

Here are some doodles around the weighted average calculation:

<lang python>>>> def wt_avg(wt, cov):

... wts = sum(wt) ... covs = sum(c * w for c, w in zip(cov, wt)) ... return covs / wts ... >>> weights = [1, 1] >>> child_cov = [0.5, 0.5] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 0.5 >>> weights = [2, 3] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 0.5 >>> weights = [1, 1] >>> child_cov = [0.25, 0.75] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 0.5 >>> weights = [2, 3] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 0.55 >>> weights = [4, 6] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 0.55 >>> weights = [40, 60] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 0.55 >>> >>> # From wikipedias basic example: >>> weights = [20, 30] >>> child_cov = [80, 90] >>> wt_avg(weights, child_cov) 86.0 >>> </lang>
