StatBot

Mission Statement

Datapoints on named entities

1. Birth data (year, location)
2. Life span
   1. Add to entity page?
3. Gender (maybe gender probability)
   1. Use name-gender bias
   2. Add to the entity page?
4. Travel distance
   1. Solid angle encomposing all locations?
   2. Shortest path distance summed between locations specified in chronological order?
   3. Correlate location data with actual points in google maps?
5. Profession
   1. Where can this information be retrieved?

Correlated Datapoints

1. Relation score between two entities
   1. Using life time span, location overlap, referenced pages

Analysis

1. Birth distribution of the Wikipast database
2. life expectancy of members in Wikipast
3. Life expectancy at birth from Wikipast data
4. Travel radius as function of Birth year
5. Mean degrees of seperation between entities of Wikipast

Technicalities

Should the datapoints be stored in a page here on wikipast to be read from for analytics, or should it be kept in a local file? Should a biometrics section be added to the pages in order to store this gender data and other parameters?
