Disclaimer
The information used for the compilation of this stats is publicly available at the various Featured lists-related pages, including Featured list log. The data was gathered on 2006-12-05 and may not reflect later changes. Data for December 2006 is not yet included.

The following summary is not really intended for public consumption. It is neither an exhaustive or rigorous statistical analysis of the data. Therefore it should not be used by sane people in serious studies, however the presentation of the raw data may be useful to someone in order to start a proper study.

This is also not intended to look pretty or even be coherent to people other than myself.

Other

 * No obvious trend related to the frequency of nominations is observed.
 * Might be interesting to compare the growth of WP:FAC during the same period.
 * Trendline for Total Featured Lists line in graph was $$y=8.4324 x + 12.837$$ (R²=0.9926), that is, a fairly decent linear fit. If truly accurate, we would have the 200th FL by March 2007 (month 22).
