Wilson Score browser-popup "Unkown Error"

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 16:38:11 +0000

When I try to execute "Top Favorite Caches (%)" or "Top Favorite Caches (Lower bound of Wilson score)" I get a browser-popup with the Message "Unkown Error". I tried it in firefox and edge. Has anybody else the same problem?

Top Favorite (Wilson) + attributes filter?

Wed, 05 May 2021 21:24:54 +0000

I was trying to find nightcaches with a good Wilson score using:
https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopFavWilson
But you can't filter on attributes to only get flashlight required for example.

Is there another way to find that information or would a feature request for a attribute filter be the way to go?

Why is on Map of "top favorites (Wilson)" the % in popup the number from "top favorites (%)" and not Wilson?

Thu, 09 Mar 2017 19:06:14 +0000

I do the statistic for "Top favorites (Wilson)", which I think is a top tool.
Then I get the bargraphs. (look at the %numbers)
Then I generate the map for e.g. top 100.

In the map I can klick on a cache and I get the popup. (look at the %number)

BUT.

In the popup I see the "normal" percent of the "Top favorites %" statistic.
I think there should be the number of the wilson statistic.

Do I something the wrong way?

Thank you.

What about a Wilson score for owner stats?

Wed, 28 Sep 2016 08:08:42 +0000

Well we already have the Wilson score for caches and this works great! For owners we have several lists but it would be an interesting list to see owners sorted by Wilson score!

The Wilson algorithm (for caches) is using percentage (as a quality indicator) and number of favorite points and both indicators are available for owners too so probably an owner Wilson list could be easy to be implemented?

For me I'm always looking for interesting areas for holiday spots. Of course the Wilson lists for caches is a great help but it would also be interesting if an owner is working in such an area with providing highly rated caches.

The cache list will show me the "must see hides" but of course I'm spontaneously searching for other caches in the holiday area too and being on a trip at site, just checking the live map and must decide between two tradi caches with both 20 fps it could be a helpful information if I remember that one of the two owners has a good Wilson score (which I would have checked in preparation of the stay)?

Sometimes there are owners with powertrails or many "standard" caches earning lots of fps and others having just a few caches but with high percentage so the owner by fp list isn't helpful in that case...

Wilson List not updating (archived Caches still listed)

Mon, 29 Aug 2016 10:41:33 +0000

e.g.

http://project-gc.com/CacheStats/topfavwilson/?country=Germany&region=Nordrhein-Westfalen&county=Solingen&hidearchived=on&submit=Filter

"hidearchived=on"

but for example GC339ZJ is archived since 06/2016 but still listed. (#21)

Any ideas?

Download list of top favorites (Wilson)

Mon, 18 Jul 2016 11:29:00 +0000

Is it possible to export (part of) the list of top favorite caches (Wilson method, but I'd be interested in the other searches as well) to a format that can be read by c:geo?

I understand that Virtual GPS is a member only feature, but I'm not sure how that works. If I search something using the wildcard search from the dashboard I get a list with buttons to import to VGPS (although of course it doesn't work), but if I search using top Wilson I don't have those buttons. Will I be able to do something like adding the top 20 results from a Wilson search to my VGPS if I buy a premium membership ?

Request: Add any filter to userdefined filters, from anywhere. Add a "wilson filter" to current defined filters.

Sat, 09 Jul 2016 07:41:17 +0000

When I create a filter anywhere it would be nice if it is possibly to add it to ones userdefined filters directly.

It also would be nice if one could add a (predifened) "wilson filter" to a search, for instance map comparison or that one could create a "wilson filter" by one self.

Feature request: Map for Top Favourites

Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:59:05 +0000

I'm approaching a big milestone (well, big for me) and like to celebrate big milestones with a special find.

Could we have a map of caches with top favourites / top favourites (Wilson) please, perhaps showing the top 50 voted caches by region in each country? This would be similar to "what's hot" but showing a fairly static view to enable people to select the caches voted as best over an extended period of time instead of the short term perspective of "what's hot".

This would be a great tool to enable identification of high quality caches and one that I would find really useful.

Feature Request: "Relative" Favorite Points Over Time (Wilson score)

Mon, 01 Sep 2014 09:34:26 +0000

In "Top-Hiders/Favorite Points Over Time" we can compare owners by their absolute number of favorite points received. That's fine, but if you want to compare the "quality" of the work of two or more owners a better way would be to compare a relative value.

How about a "Relative Favorite Points Over Time (Wilson score)" feature? Favorite points received in relation to hidden caches of this owner and the time it took to collect this much fav-points. That would make owners more comparable.

Example:

Owner1: 1000 FP from 100 caches over a period of 10 years.
Owner2: 500 FP from 20 caches over a period of 2 years.
Owner3: 800 FP from 80 caches over a period of 5 years.

Who is the "better" one? Maybe a Wilson-score like statistical analysis can give us an answer.
