Anti cheat 'IP variance' question
« on: June 06, 2009, 05:38:25 PM »
Hi ip0li,

Please could you explain a little more about the concept and values of 'IP variance'?

As I understand it, these values tell us what percentage of OUT clicks were made by an IP that is different from the IP that made the corresponding IN.

In the anti cheat results table there are two % figures listed for 'IP variance'.  For most of my trades I have values of approximately '24% (93%)' - but I have no idea whether these values are good or bad.  I have a few trades with a much lower first value (say 10%) and a couple with larger values, say 35%.  If this means that, say, 24% of clicks are made by a different IP from the IN then on the face of it any non-zero value seems bad! 

Please could you explain what each of these two figures means and what is a 'good' value and what is 'bad'?

Many thanks,

Hi. The lower the better. In ideal case it will may be 0%(0%). It means that all IPs who clicked, have corresponding IPs on the entrance.
