Description

The goal of this script is to show a statistical study on the impact of day of the week and time slots on a series of tweet aspects. Specifically, number of retweets and number of favorites. The script also includes a bespoke index that combines these two aspects, assigning different weights to retweets and favorites: Favs+(2xRtwts).

Additionally, the script includes information about Twitter use as a function of day of the week and time slot.
