Hi Alfonso,

I plan to evaluate it by period. however, if it is by period, then I
have to group them period by period, which means I will have 500
different group arrangements in 500 periods and those group
arrangements may be contradicted.---this is a big headache. Hopefully
I have explained my situation clearly. ^_^

I know it will be easier if just group them based on their average number.

Best,
Xixi Lin
