in reply to Data averages by time of day

It looks like you eventually want to get a smooth curve for the hours of the day, given the data from a group of days. I'd look at some basic statistical analysis. (No, I have no suggestion which ones - sorry.)

    Exactly. And statistics was my mathmatical weak area when I was in school. Great with math other than that, but statistics I seemed to have trouble figuring out which algorithm to apply to what problem.
