Rate of Progression Formula
Hello All,
Agents attain scores over a period of time and are recorded by weekly intervals. The target is to achieve a score of 420 or less. What i need is a calculation to see who have progressed the best from over 420 to under 420. I have been searching for the appropriate formula that tracks the agent rate of improvement based on the scores they produce weekly. Here is a sample of the scores. Week # Agent 1 Agent 2 25 856.444 738.683 26 986.130 533.542 27 660.319 464.141 28 633.990 529.718 29 576.483 566.817 30 582.434 481.467 31 629.725 561.240 32 605.880 529.793 33 569.558 491.564 34 577.365 480.924 35 540.415 459.695 36 539.803 437.526 37 568.207 387.403 38 503.689 402.884 39 523.013 384.494 Thanks in advance for your help Kevin |

Rate of Progression Formula
Progressed the best is a bit of a loaded question. Are we talking most
improved or best result or a combination of the 2. I would take a look at the Slope and Intercept functions. Whoever has the steepest downward slopt to their best fit line has had the greatest improvement. Using intercept you can determine the end point of the best filt line which is their overall result. Slope is the amount of improvement per week. Intercept is the starting point (Where would they have been at week based on the graphed line extended backwards). In your sample data Agent 1 has teh following results Slope = -22.3 Intercept = 1,337 Week 39 best fit result = 467.45 Agent2 Slope = -15.7 Intercept = 1,000 Week 39 best fit result = 386.46 So agent 1 has improved more but Agent 2 is achieveing the better result... Your call... -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "Tazflerts" wrote: Hello All, Agents attain scores over a period of time and are recorded by weekly intervals. The target is to achieve a score of 420 or less.

Rate of Progression Formula
Hello Jim,
Thanks for the reply. Understand the concept of the slope and the interception. Can you provide sample(s) of these formula? I am trying to implement them but having different value returned for each week and not seeing the result you acheived from the slope and interception for Agent 1 & 2. Thanks, Kevin |
