Average number of Touches before NOA2

[no name 1]

Why even bother, what the average number of touches are before you get your NOA2???

Some people dont get "touched" at all and some get "touched" all the time...

There is no average number of times & there is no answer! Anyone who tells you differently is wrong.

Of course there's an average. It's the total divided by the number of samples, as anyone who took stats 101 could tell you.

Whether anyone has actually calculated the average over a statistically significant sample size is another question -- I don't know the answer.

I'd argue there's little or no meaningful information that the average would tell you about your particular case, though. There's not only a lot of variation in the total number of touches, there's also variation in the elapsed time between the touch(es) and the approval.

I think the officially posted processing dates are quite a bit more useful than counting number of touches, lame as those officially posted processing dates are.

Put us down as another example of an approval with no touches.
