What is the best way to characterize this data? I suspect that average word count is not a particularly useful metric, since a few extremely long posting will create a misleading picture. Quartiles or quintiles might be a better approach, or log distribution. What do others think? Does anyone know of any guidelines for good practice for this kind of statistical research?
