A Statistical analysis of Charm Duration

[charleski]

What about level? Surely the difference in level affects charm duration?

Result:
Unable to reject the null hypothesis that level difference has no effect at the 95% level.

A few days before performing the experiment with CHA I went to GFay and faced off against the mighty level 2 orc pawn (confirmed white-con to a level 2 player). This test was also performed with a CHA of 115. I was 48 at the time, so the difference was 46 levels, as opposed to 11-12 levels against the greater spurbone in EJ.

Input data 1:
File: L50 EJ Gt Spurbone CHA 115.txt
Total trials: 1157
p charm success (per tick): 0.9742
Wilson Score lower bound: 0.9647
Wilson Score upper bound: 0.9836
Input data 2:
File: orc_pawn_CHA115.txt
Total trials: 2053
p charm success (per tick): 0.9840
Wilson Score lower bound: 0.9784
Wilson Score upper bound: 0.9895

probability difference: 0.0098

Newcombe-Wilson difference interval: -0.0110, 0.0109
Not significant at 95% level

There is one possibility that is not tested here. It may be that level difference only has a manifest effect when it is very small, possibly via an exponential factor that has saturated by the time level difference is 10 or more. Unfortunately I'm unable to test this on my own. If you know of a healer or another high-level enchanter who's willing to spend hours doing nothing other than help getting a L50 mob under control again on breaks, then drop me a line. But be warned: doing this for several hours in a row is not the most exciting experience.
