[edit]First, let me gather up the natural experiment comparisons that I have made.
- Boolean measures

... as I was regenerating my scalar (log normally distributed) comparisons I realized a bug in my session code, so I'm regenerating that now. --Halfak (WMF) (talk) 20:02, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

OK. Well, that's all for today. Tomorrow I'll be fleshing out the usage numbers. --Halfak (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
