I Most effective of 1000 groups given mean median mode and N

AI Thread Summary
To identify the most critical bus stop contributing to total delays, the discussion focuses on analyzing mean, median, and mode of delay percentages for each stop, along with their frequency of occurrence. The critical stop is defined as the one with the highest contribution to overall delay, calculated using the mean delay percentage multiplied by the frequency of each stop. Clarifications are sought regarding the definition of "total delay in general" and the rationale behind using percentages instead of absolute numbers. The conversation also touches on the complexity of bus routes and how frequency of paths impacts the analysis. Ultimately, understanding the context of bus operations and data collection methods is essential for accurate assessment.

Hi,
For a SoC project I am working on I need to select one cell which is most critical.
example, If a bus is going through 1000 stops 1000 times I have mean median mode of delay contribution of that stop compared to the total delay to reach from start to stop point and N (number of times bus has gone through that stop).

How do I get the most critical bus stop of all the stops ?

Thanks&Regards.

What do you mean by "the most critical bus stop"?

What does the "1000 times" mean if your frequency values are all above 1000?
 
And what do you mean by:

compared to the total delay

Is a datum like 1.8 in units of time (e.g. 1.8 minutes) or is it in some "comparative" unit like "1.8 times the average time per stop" ?
?
 
In the example I gave, by most critical I meant the one which is contributing most to the total delay in general, Frequency is number of times each cell(or stop) is appearing and I gave 1000 times just for example , In the data I have, as you can see the frequencies are different for different cells...
and 1.8 is the percent of total delay contributed by that particular cell (or stop)..
Its like there are some x paths and in x paths there are different cells contributing to the delay of the path
so In all the paths the percent of delay contributed by each cell is calculated. since each cell is occurring multiple times in multiple paths and contributing different delay at different instances, I have taken mean of all the percentage delay contributions for each cell and that is in second column , same way I 've taken median and mode

How is "total delay in general" defined? Just the mean multiplied by the frequency?

Why do you have percentages instead of absolute numbers?

Hi,

Like this there are thousands of paths with different cells .

The answer is going to depend on how often buses take each path, isn't it?

Are you dealing with a problem that actually involves buses in real life? They have scheduled routes don't they? There are lots of possible routes in a city that no bus is ever scheduled to take.
