Statistics Are Back

My favorite statistic, something that probably no one else but BandToBand could compute:
Longest Career
1. Beach Boys : 50 years
2. The Ventures : 49 years
3. Neil Young With Crazy Horse : 43 years

http://www.bandtoband.com/link/album/sam-cooke/summertime/to/album/nayas/s-t is 30 steps, not 31 as displayed in the stats.
I'm pretty sure it said 30 when I saw it yesterday.

Yeah, this link has been a problem for me. The trouble is that each step in the chain is an album line-up (not just the album). So when the longest link is computed it counts:
Sam Cook
to
Nayas "s/t" : line-up A
When you do the link by hand, it computes:
Sam Cook
to
Nayas "s/t" : any line-up
As a result it stops at line-up B, 30 steps, and doesn't continue for the full 31 steps to line-up A. I'll have to figure out how best to handle this.

I don't get it... Why don't we just compute the longest artist-to-artist chain instead of the album-to-album chain?
One missing stat ...

Largest total number of band members for a band.
IIRC one of Mike Westbrook's bands had something like 4 lineups of about 20 people each, each lineup near enough totally different, making for a total of about 80 members.
That would be entertaining.
And any chance of getting the Degree Centrality - 3rd Level back?

Any plans to bring back stats on band pages?

The largest total band members is now in. I don't have 3rd degree centrality because of how the computations are done, the same with band stats. It takes hours and hours to do all the limited computations but I can look into expanding them and see how bad things get.

3rd Degree Centrality is now back on the Statistics page. Gilgamesh, who knew?

... is Paul McCartney, with a career so far of 53 years. Since he's still fairly fit and active, one presumes he has plenty more years in him yet.

Degree Centrality : 3nd Level
1. The United Jazz + Rock Ensemble : 18678 degrees.
2. Mike Westbrook Orchestra : 18267 degrees.
3. Naked City (US 2) : 18187 degrees.
---
A few things:
* "3nd" should be "3rd".
* Is "degrees" the right measure? Or just "bands"?
* Where's Gilgamesh? I don't get Kevin's comment.
* Are these numbers right? When we were keeping score a couple of years ago, the top groups were only in the 4K range, so that would be quite a jump (esp. since we have less than 20K bands total).

(Also, "Graph Denisty" should be "Density".)

Those 3rd-level numbers are out of control! It now puts The Carla Bley Band at 21,494 -- way more than the # of bands in the db.
Longest career

Roy Haynes' career in our db is at 62 years, why isn't he included in the statistics?

I think the career length stats are reliant on recording dates (at least for the end point). Haynes' 2011 solo album didn't have a rec date - I've added one so I think he should show up in the stats next time they're updated.

OK, thanks. My suggestion is to use the earliest release date when the earliest rec. date is unavailable (of course I wouldn't do that with the latest release date, since that could depend on a re-release).

When B.B. King's "Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2011" goes live, he'll be tied with Mr. Haynes at 62 years (both of them started in 1949).
[Oops, make that 63 years.]

When his latest album Blue Moon (2012) goes live, Ahmad Jamal will enter the longest career-top 5.

Solo collection didn't have a rec date I have included one so I figure he should appear in the details next time they're refreshed.

Decent, need to accomplish something like this with mine.

That 30 steps chain from seven years ago, is only 20 steps today. I wonder how long it will be seven years from now.

It went from 30 to 20 because I deliberately targeted it as I said in this thread:

The first artist on the 'Most Distant Bands' stat that isn't one of my additions is Nico Vega, so I guess I'm better at finding long links than I am at finding shortcuts.
