Figures of merit used in analytics
Do bugs include the measures of performance? If so, I would like to recommend a replacement for one of your measures "switching fingers". In the original analytics, Dvorak used "switching fingers" on the same hand as a measure, but switching to a finger on the opposite hand was zero cost.
An even bigger difference in the way he represented overall efficiency was "Finger Distance Travelled" (FDT) for the finger movements in typing a corpus. Of course the ideal way to evaluate this would be to instrument each finger (accel's) because fingers fatigue at different rates, but calculated distances are a close second.
