Hi Alex,
My bad. What I meant to say was that there should be 12 data points (one per month), with counts for the corresponding month from all the years. Then Median and MAD of the 12 counts.
Moral of the story. I should try to reply to helpOSTS while also in an OSTS lab. My apologies for the confusion. <sigh>
