English: Statistical graph showing the probability values for Large Ship Construction (大型艦建造; LSC) recipes within the Japanese online game Kantai Collection (艦隊これくしょん). All raw data values are user-submitted and are obtained from the KanColle Wiki at Wikiwiki.jp, meaning that the contents of this graph are to be trusted by the reader at their own risk. Graph is generated from values submitted from 2013-12-29 00:00:18 (JST) to 2014-05-23 09:11:17 (JST). The total sample pool is 125,824 entries (110,473 standard constructions, 15,351 Z1/Z3 flagship constructions); LSC recipes are ordered with larger sample sizes (more green) at the top, and smaller sample sizes (more red) towards the bottom. The separate section at the bottom contains the values for recipes when Z1/Z3 is set as flagship, which alters the probability statistics of each recipe. A note that the fewer samples a particular recipe has, the lower the statistical significance, which means that such graph values have limited trustworthiness. Values may also be somewhat skewed by a volunteer bias, as users tend to only make reports when they receive a favourable outcome.

The format of each row is as follows: Fuel/Ammunition/Steel/Bauxite/Development material (Sample size).

A brief introduction to LSC: Within the game Kantai Collection, players are able to construct ships, however the construction mechanism is largely randomized (refer to Random number generator), and the result of each construction is akin to a dice roll. The player gambles a certain amount of various resources, and different numerical combinations ("recipes") grant different probability chances for different ships.

This graph can be updated with newer values using a python + matplotlib script. The source code can be found here.
