in reply to Calculating Completion of Feeds with Varying Volumes

GrandFather has offered a Perl-ish answer to your actual question.

This node is non-Perl and non-statistical. Rather, it questions your approach as outlined in your comment 'I am simply checking to see if the recv'd amount is within 95% of the prediction. So for this example, this feed would be marked as "completed."'

I hope I'm wrong, but that sounds a lot like tossing lighted flares into a powder keg.

But maybe not.
