If it is not a straight line (as I am suspecting it will be exponential growth or decay), then how do you determine slope? I forgot how to do that for a curve.Ekade wrote:Actually it does not.. a few more factors must be included..Hashum wrote: How exactly does this quantify the length of time the couple was married for? If you ran this test on the night of the wedding everyone would score well, while several weeks later it maybe time to split.
- female patience decay index - self explanatory
- male attentiveness decay index - self explanatory
- predator persistence ratio - This reflects the varying tactics and webs of deceit woven to influence the female to surrender her goodies to the predators.
- former slutty girlfriend desperation acceleration index - the "ex's" get more desperate over time and tend to try harder as a result
Plot the "wedding night" score on a graph. X (horizontal) represents time, Y (vertical) is the "marriage rating".
Determing the "slope" from the above 4 ratings and plot the graph. Over time you should see line sink. Once the rating falls below he critical happiness threshhold, the relationship is on life support until it ultimately fails.
It's been at least 15 years. ))
