Analysis of GOT Series

Author

Claude Widmer

Abstract

The analysis explores the distribution of screen time among the main characters, focusing on the characters with the most screentime across various episodes. This study provides a brief overview of their appearances and how their screen presence varies.

Figure 1: All Houses of Game of Thrones

The analysis is about screen time in Game of Thrones (see Figure 2). It shows how much screen time characters have and plots a nice figure with the outliers labeled (Table 1).

But first, a short story about Game of Thrones. It has four houses, as seen in Figure 1. My favorite house is Figure 1 (a). And the series is quite popular (Sandqvist 2012)! :-)

In Section 2 I analyze the data.
