I wrote runfinder.py to collect data.
After a post by Dee, I was reading about inverse gamma distributions. For several days I was preoccupied with whether length of juggling runs is an example of a Poisson distribution or an inverse gamma distribution. I devised an experiment. I found that collecting data would be too time consuming without automation.
Working on this, I realized that personal records are not indicative of general skill. Looking at the statistical distribution of the runs, such as in a histogram, is more valuable training data.
