Not only should Reverse Relative Overdueness be available in Anki, but I believe it should be the default sorting method for most decks and situations, especially now that we have FSRS. I’m not pushing for it to be the default right now—just making it available would be great. Side note: As I was f…

[image] DerIshmaelite: This discussion has taken a looooooong turn. I thought it was already decided that Reverse Relative Overdueness is the best order for a backlog, and that we need to decrease the number of sort orders, beginning with the least efficient ones. Let’s put a cap in the main …

[image] sorata: It’s certainly not applicable for everyone. Are you doing the simulation using your collection? I assume not. No, I’m running this straight off of @L.M.Sherlock ’s code and just modified it.

I think you should just take a large enough number like Expertium and be done. The day when prop:due=0 returns 0 cards is a bit arbitrary.

The other change I want to make is to see total cards reviewed. I’m skeptical about the way time is being applied here (I think it’s by difficulty), or at least I don’t think that applies to the way I study at all. Might work well for the average user. But for example, I have Chinese vocab cards th…

[image] sorata: The day when prop:due=0 returns 0 cards is a bit arbitrary. Not exactly what it’s doing. Well it is, but it tests that after studying for the day. So it’s not the day that prop:due=0, but it’s the day that the number of due cards is less than your daily review limit. It’s the …

Are you running using the default options though? That wouldn’t create much backlog.

I’m also gonna add the ability to make the cards studied per day resemble your personal study habits. Something simple, like look at what percentage of days I don’t study at all and have that be a probability for studying zero in a day in the sim. Then for days I do study, use a Poisson distribution…

[image] sorata: Are you running using the default options though? That wouldn’t create much backlog. The sim or real life?

[image] rich70521: I’m skeptical about the way time is being applied here (I think it’s by difficulty) No it’s probably not. I think it’s similar to what CMRR does. Not sure.

Sim… oh god I need to type 5 characters otherwise I can’t post :weary:
