SUMMARY

The term "normalized" in the context of playback interruption time refers specifically to the calculation of normalized interruption time (NIT). This metric is derived by dividing the viewed length by the original duration of the video. The discussion clarifies that normalization typically involves using the entire duration of the video for accurate measurement, ensuring that the metric reflects the proportion of interruptions relative to total viewing time.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of video playback metrics
  • Familiarity with normalization techniques in data analysis
  • Knowledge of interruption measurement methodologies
  • Basic statistics for interpreting normalized data
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "video playback metrics and analysis techniques"
  • Learn about "normalization in data analysis"
  • Explore "interruption measurement methodologies in user experience"
  • Study "statistical methods for data normalization"
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for data analysts, video content creators, and UX researchers focused on optimizing video playback experiences and measuring user engagement effectively.

In a paper I'm reading the author keeps using the word "normalized". What does it mean?
We use playback interruption time as our main metric.
However, since the viewed length by a user varies widely,
instead of just measuring total interruption time of each view,
we normalize it by the viewed length, which we call the
normalized interruption time (NIT).

Does it mean dividing the sum of the interuptions by the sum of the non-interrupted times? Or diving it by the total time thus far? Or dividing by the entire time of the video?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It means diving each viewed length by the original duration of the video.
However, you must tell about the exact origin of this paragraph.

Dividing by the entire duration of the video or up to the point watched?

Usually it would mean dividing by the entire duration of the video.
