As such, adding a metric for median time on page / site would REALLY help. Use Cases: Better understanding what a TYPICAL user does on the site.

This would be very useful across all metrics where we currently see mean. Median has been shown to be a better indicator than mean.

+1 Median time is more accurate in data science than average and it's impossible to compute it without raw data. |
