"Ha! You must have missed something anyway!"

And Evgeny Letov also demanded for a long time to play with fonts in it.

Which variables are significant?
At the 5% level the following are significant:

Number of pages in the index . Each indexed page gives approximately 0.3 XML points.
TIC . Each additional TIC point adds 0.6 XML points.
The age of the site and its presence in Yandex.Catalog did not play a role.


Yes, we could have missed something. So we ran the Ramsey RESET test, which is designed for just such cases.

In our sample, the p-value was 0.95, so in this engineer phone number data there is no reason to believe that we actually missed anything.

Summary (What to do?)
Priority areas of activity for Yandex.XML fans:

Increase the TIC of your resources.
Drive more pages into the index.
P.S. 103 sites is a rather small sample. Who knows, maybe everything is completely different - after all, we "played" only with the sites we supervised, in which the real number of pages roughly corresponds to the number of indexed ones.

If you want to help our research become more accurate, you can send lists of the form “site” — “number of points” to [email protected] .
