Extremely good, this analysis made me cross my arms under my breasts, tug my braid, smooth my skirt, then sniff in disbelief. and of course I love the digression into: “Robert Jordan books have 1 sniff every 75 words” actually statistical error. Sniffer Hurin, who sniffs 80000 times, is an outlier and shoulndt have been counted, etc etc.

Thank you! This is super important in real life data analysis too—outliers always mean something but sometimes it’s just not relevant to the problem

Awesome work! Although I noticed more lip licking than sniffing

How did you calculate the number of words from the female leads’ perspectives?

This is why I need peer review, I forgot to cite my sources! I'll add a citation to the Wheel of Time Wiki
