DBPA: Active Member Ratio
|
Understanding the AMR - Active Member Ratio
The Active Member Ratio is simply the percentage of members that are considered active.
There are invariabley many more members than active members.
The logic for this index is that the more members that are active, the more
interest there must be in pleo. As the percentage of active members decrease, the less interest
there is in pleo.
Usually there will be a spike in interest whenever there is some software release or
update, as you must log in to get the download, and are more likely to comment or ask question
about it.

Explaining the formulas
The formula for the AMR is just the number of active members at the end of the day
divided by the total number of members at the end of the day, expressed as a percentage.
For the DBPA, we take the percentage of active members at the end of the day,
multiple by three, and add to that the difference of the number from yesterday. [ (AMR*3) + ΔAMR ]
The information displayed for the AMR in the DBPA chart are:
- The AMR (11.91)
- An arrow indicating the direction of change. A green up-arrow means the value is higher than
yesterday, red down arrow means the value is lower, a black horizontal line indicates no change.
- The difference from yesterday, or the ΔAMR (4.15)
