in reply to Data averages by time of day
This is a standard problem in real-life time-series data collection. In the classroom, data are collected at T = 0, 1, 2, ...; in real life, the collection times have a certain amount of jitter, and some data values may be missing altogether. If you're serious about the correct solution, talk to a mathematician or experimental scientist, or check out web sites dealing with math & stats. ( I would start with Wolfram and work out from there. )
If your interest is less rigorous, I see two alternatives:
Yeah, I know I have trouble with small integers.
This reminds me of problems discussed by ... I think it was Douglas R. Hofsteder: If "when I wake up" is either 4:30 or 6:00, and "lunchtime" is either 12:00 or 2:45, which set does 10:15 belong to, and what's the equivalent time in the other?
