AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the creation of a Folding@Home statistics site aimed at providing more advanced insights than existing platforms. Each team in Folding@Home submits points and units every three hours, with users contributing to their team's total. Current statistics available on existing sites are basic, focusing on average submissions and yearly projections. The creators seek innovative ideas for visualizing and analyzing the data, particularly advanced statistical topics that could enhance their site. They emphasize a desire for recommendations rather than detailed methodologies to improve their offerings.

My friend and I have begun work on a folding at home statistics site.

I'm going to break F@H down for you all real quick.
Every 3 hours a Team submits more points and "Units" to their total points and Unit count. (The unit is where the points come from). So every 3 hours Point and Unit totals grow for each unique team.
A team consists of Users who submits the points and units that a team unites under one ID.
That is to say, User 1 and User 2 submit 4 units each to Team 1 and then Team 1 logs 8 Units.


If you want more details as to what F@H is: http://folding.stanford.edu/

There are a few stat sites already in existence and they can be found here:

Most of the stat sites that I know track very basic statistics such as average daily submission amount per team/user. Or things such as how much an individual is expected to have in a year.

It's all pretty basic, and you can see more on the sites I provided.

So what I'm hoping you all can provide me with is really cool ideas on some stuff my friend and I can do with these stats. I have taken only an intro. stat class which has yielded a few ideas we might use but I haven't, nor has my friend, taken any advanced stat classes. Albiet, my friend, who happens to be doing all the back-end "math coding" is a veritable math whiz. If you can just name some advanced stat topics and what it would yield I'm sure he could look it up and code some stuff to go on the site.

So please don't hold back your recommendations.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm not asking for how to do it but just names of topics in the area.
 
A good start would be to find interesting ways to visualize various aspects of the data (rather than just a table of numbers).
 
I'm taking a look at intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). Basically it exclude Double Negation Elimination (DNE) from the set of axiom schemas replacing it with Ex falso quodlibet: ⊥ → p for any proposition p (including both atomic and composite propositions). In IPL, for instance, the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) p ∨ ¬p is no longer a theorem. My question: aside from the logic formal perspective, is IPL supposed to model/address some specific "kind of world" ? Thanks.
I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber \\ & (A4) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + (y +1) = (x + y ) + 1) \nonumber \\ & (A5) ~~~~ \forall x (x \cdot 0 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A6) ~~~~ \forall xy (x \cdot (y + 1) = (x \cdot y) + x) \nonumber...
