Summaries - Habits and Summaries - Averages not correct

[chrismalek]

I started to use Summaries last month and just completed a few weeks of some items I want to track. Overall this is really good plugin. It took me a few years to really understand it after hitting the readme a few times.

I am committed now.

Anyways there is something not correct with the averages.

I log my daily weight like this:

@weight(197.5).

When I run my stats for this month I get this:

weight |···············███████████████| avg 200 (from 15)

However, None of the days I logged were above 198. So why does it average to 200?

@chrismalek I've got one idea about this: I've set it to give averages to 2 significant figures. This avoids spurious accuracy on most measurements (e.g. was max heart rate really 178 and not 177? Did I really sleep 6.7 or 6.8 hours?). But in the case of weight, I can see that there might be more accuracy available. Can you give me a sample of 10 actual readings, so I can work out a better way of displaying the averages?

[chrismalek]

Here are all my current weight values from the side bar.

I only have one entry that is actually 200 and the rest are around 197 or below.

My current monthly period stat for that looks like this but I know my average should be really around 197 or 198.

weight |██████████| avg 200 (from 10)

OK, I will change this to use 3 significant figures, not 2, and then the average is what you expect. I'm on holiday at the moment, so I probably won't get to release this for a few days.

@jgclark tThanks enjoy your holiday! :-)

@jgclark I just updated to v0.19.0 and I see the averages. However, the /periodStats command no longer produces any output. The appendProgressUpdate command does work.
I need to look through the docs to figure out how to turn on debugging for these plugins. I think I saw it mentioned in past reading.

[jgclark]

Bother. I did a lot of refactoring in the last update, and something clearly slipped passed me.
I can reproduce it, so don't worry about sending any logs.

Here is the log console. It might be something I need to adjust now in my settings for this.
