For those who were waiting, sorry about the wait...
I was thinking about something else, Mr. Smith, but here goes...
RR = Rate Ratio = PR/ALR
ALR = Average Local Rate
PR = Provider Rate
VR = Volume Ratio = ALR/PR
PHR = Perceived Hotness Ratio = HHP/PHP
HHP = Hobbyist Hotness Perception (of the provider)
PHP = Provider Hotness Perception (of herself)
PHP is assumed to rarely being lower than HHP.
Use BI1 if ALR < PR
Use BI2 if ALR > PR
BI1 = Booking Index = PHR/RR
BI2 = Booking Index = PHR/VR
The higher the Booking Index, the higher the chance of seeing a provider.
So, if a provider's PHR is 1.0 and she charges 300, her BI = .67. If her PHR is .9, the BI drops to .6.
If a provider's PHR is 1.0 and she charges 140, her BI = .64. If her PHR is .9, the BI drops to .57.
So, the equations take into account rates, volume, and self-perceived hotness.
