Activity pattern
Why r/IAmA is classified as Event-driven
Oscylo reads the newest 52 weeks of posts, comments and unique contributors and gives each subreddit one of the patterns below. The figures behind the label are shown beside it.
Activity in r/IAmA is concentrated in bursts, with less consistent timing across years. That pattern points to event-driven activity, though it stops short of naming a cause.
How the label is read
The busiest four weeks against the quietest, with the yearly trend taken out. At 2.5× or more the year counts as concentrated: Seasonal if the busy weeks came at the same time in earlier years, Event-driven if they did not, and Variable when there is too little history to tell.
How closely this year's busy weeks match their timing in the three years before, on a scale from −1 to 1. At 0.60 or more the pattern counts as Seasonal.

The 52 weeks before are drawn on the same calendar, so each week lines up with the matching week of the previous year.
