productivity and simulations

Today was a good day--dusting my hands off. Pat on the back. Well done, yours truly, good job. To continue my previous post's theme of inspiration with some inserted jargon...I was inspired to simulate the ideal distribution of life events measured in frequency of days involving happy/sad events (see Figure above). We have some unlabeled bins of happy-sad on the x-axis where the left is the direction of happy and the right is the direction of sad. I simulated the data of 30,000 days which is a rounded up estimate for a life expectancy of 82 years (average Canadian in 2019). I made the distribution a count distribution with an arbitrary parameter that made the data right-skewed. Pulled to the right...so that there are more of the happy events. That's the goal. That's the dream. That's the idea. We also want some boring events to happen between our levels 6-8 in the happy-sad spectrum...but mostly happy. If you're a pundit of such charts and variable distributions...please keep your opinions to yourself. I wanted my happy-sad variable to be Poisson-distributed, mainly for convenience. Plus, poisson sounds so fancy even though it literally means fish in French. Pwah-sohn...and chips. TGIF.
