Method Peaceful Pill Method Ranking

[daley]

I wrote the attached html file that you can download to your computer. You need to rename it to an html extension, and then open it with a browser.

Is it dangerous to run a random html file on your computer? Probably. I hope somebody can read the code and vouch for me that it is not dangerous.

What is in the file:

The Peaceful Pill Handbook describes 12 methods and provides
a "Reliability - Peacefulness" table for each. The table scores each method according
to eight criteria, the main ones being Reliability and Peacefulness. Each method is given a final
score combining the scores for each criteria.

The final score of a method is done by setting a fixed weight to each criteria.
However, readers may have a different opinion on these. For example, a reader
may not care at all about whether a method is detectable by authorities or not.

This attached html file, based on the 2022 version of the Peaceful Pill Handbook, lets you
chose the weights, and thus see how the methods rank
according to the importance you give to each criteria.

This is similar to the LTA calculator , which is based on a different data source for methods and scores.

Yeah, I should have thought about providing a screen shot. Thanks @Darkover .

Can you confirm that the file I wrote is safe and did not plant any viruses or cause your computer to explode ?

i've looked at the source code it's completely legitimate and free from any miraculous code

Just wanted to add some more details about what I have done.

The PPH data gives more weight to the criteria of Reliability and Peacefulness, by using a scale of 0-10.
All the other criteria are on a scale of 0-5. The weights of the criteria are baked into
the scoring. There are two different scales for scoring. The total score for a method is done
by simply adding up all the scores for each criteria : /Sigma_i ( score[ i ] )

What I have done was "normalize" the scoring, so the scores of all criteria are normalized to
be between 0-10 ( I just multiplied the scores of the 0-5 scale criteria by 2 ).
The score for a method is calculated by multiplying the score for each criteria with it's
weight, and dividing by 10 : ( /Sigma_i ( weight[ i ] * score[ i ] ) ) /10

When using the weights in the PPH table, I get the same method scores that the PPH table shows.
