Excerpt:

A 9-year-old girl in New Lenox, Ill. , is being called a hero for conserving her mother's life by stopping their speeding car from crashing. "At one point she went through a stop light and then at another point she was going over 70 miles per hour, and on the secondary road," stated Alex Sheridan about the occurrence that occurred a week earlier. Sheridan's mother, Jennifer, went into diabetic shock while driving them home from a cousin's basketball game and lost control of their vehicle. "I guess I went off the road and down through a little ditch and we were kind of heading towards trees and a sign and an utility pole," stated Jennifer, who was phasing in and out of awareness during the shock. The vehicle was about to strike a tree when Sheridan reached over and shut off the key to quit the car.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
