Formula used
A success rate describes the share of attempts meeting your rule. Counts provide the strongest basis for weighted summaries. Larger samples usually produce narrower confidence intervals.
Cumulative rates combine all observations through each selected point. Rolling rates use only the latest chosen window. Smoothed rates reduce noise while preserving the broad pattern.
How to use the calculator
- Select counts, percentages, or binary outcomes.
- Enter X values and assign meaningful series names.
- Choose rolling, smoothing, confidence, and target settings.
- Customize labels, references, filters, and chart appearance.
- Calculate, inspect diagnostics, then export needed reports.
Use counts whenever successful and total attempts are available. Rate-only data can still create useful descriptive curves. Binary observations are aggregated into rates automatically.
Worked example
Suppose an agent succeeds 34 times during 40 attempts. Its success rate equals 34 divided by 40. Multiplying by 100 gives an 85 percent rate.
| Episode | Successes | Attempts | Success rate | Series |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 22 | 40 | 55.00% | Baseline |
| 4 | 30 | 40 | 75.00% | Baseline |
| 8 | 38 | 40 | 95.00% | Optimized |
Frequently asked questions
What does a success-rate curve show?
It shows how often a defined success occurs across ordered observations.
Should I use counts or percentages?
Use counts when possible because weighted summaries remain more accurate.
What is a cumulative success rate?
It combines every success and attempt through the current point.
What does the rolling window control?
It controls how many recent observations form each rolling estimate.
Which confidence interval should I choose?
Wilson intervals are dependable for many binomial success-rate datasets.
Can I compare several models?
Yes. Give each model a different series name before calculating.
How are duplicate X values handled?
They can be merged using summed counts or averaged percentages.
What does first target crossing mean?
It is the earliest point reaching or exceeding your target.
Can the chart use thresholds?
Yes. Select threshold as the X-axis meaning and enter values.
Why might a curve look unstable?
Small samples, changing conditions, or rare outcomes can increase variability.
