Surprise-Free Celeration Line

Description

You draw a Surprise-Free celeration by drawing both an Overall celeration and a Most-Recent celeration. A Surprise-Free celeration combines these other two celeration types.

A Surprise-Free celeration may prove useful for projecting frequencies. The future frequencies, when measured, will very likely fall within the range projected between the Overall and the Most-Recent celerations.

In the drawing above, note that a black I-bar on the right side of the chart covers the "surprise-free" range.

Notices

The chart shown above represents a likeness only of a standard celeration chart. The chart shown above is also a "stylized" chart. That means that I constructed it for teaching and illustrative purposes only. It does not show real data. The frequency dots are larger, proportionately, and the celeration lines range through more chart cycles, than one typically finds.

Dr. Ogden R. Lindsley invented the Standard Celeration Chart, founded Behavior Research Company, and has been the main proponent and developer of both Precision Teaching and standard celeration charting.
