Rick Dunham and Andy Martin have produced an Excel spreadsheet that calculates
many of one's FRL statistics automatically.
Bob Bolton made significant enhancements and modifications,
and is responsible for providing
the most current version 2.0. Dave Covill also contributed to this effort.
Categories computed are limited to, but do not necessarily include, all those FRL categories
wherein the final statistic is a linearly increasing function of the number of counties completed.
Examples include total number of counties, number of regional counties (northeast, south, midwest, west),
total area, Apex counties, fifty highest counties, and five thousand foot prominence counties.
Categories that are not linearly increasing functions of counties completed include glob area,
glob span, home glob radius, floating glob radius. For these categories the
distance calculator and
floating glob radius calculator are helpful.
