I’m confused why your delay of again is longer than the delay of good. What’s your learning step setting?
I guess you use different learning step settings in different presets. I will move this stats to the old stats page, then it could filter the data by deck.
I ran this for my collection and got very similar statistics to what you posted in OP. However, when I leave the learning intervals blank, FSRS gives my first again interval at over 7 hours when my target retention is 90%. I’d have expected it to give something more like 15 seconds. Am I missing something?
The first row shows when I press again in a new card, 25% of the next reviews are done in 1.2 min, 50% are done in 1.38 min, 75% are done in 2.22 min. The average retention of the next review is 83.48%. And the estimated stability is 0.8 min.
Ohhhh. Now I starting to see things a bit more.
So this would change based on whatever learning steps I have, and based on that, the stability is calculated. If I remember correctly, Stability shows the time after which the retrievability has declined to 90%, so if I want a retention of 95%, I should aim for less time.
My learning steps for this is 1s 3m (auto intraday scheduler turned on).So what would be the recommendation here. Or does the short-term scheduler not yet have a link to custom learning steps
1-My learning steps are 1s 3m. So I have a 1s again interval (0.02 min)
2-Having a 1s again interval does not necessarily mean I would see the card in 1s → delays (which is true from personal experience)
3-Having this delay influences my retention obviously
4-Based on the delays and retention achieved, stability is calculated.
5-In my case stability is 0.02 min, so I should be indeed be seeing the card in under 0.02 if I want a retention of anything >90%.
If I did understand this correctly, my question now is: would the stability calculated still be the same if I had different learning steps and in turn different delays
The stability is calculated from your review data. And changing the learning steps will let you generate different review data in the future. It may affect the stability.
However, in theory, the stability only depends on your first rating unless you change your rating habit.
Imagine that we split the review data into four equal part by the delay. Then we have four average retention for each part, and three thresholds of delay. It doesn’t need math.
