Why did you choose jpeg quality as your independent variable? Wouldn't it make 
more sense to use the similarity value? When trying to match other formats to 
the jpeg's value, you can get close but can't exactly match it. This creates an 
inherent bias.

So for one thing, the data should have included the similarity values for all 
images and not just the jpeg - when the jpeg value was even included. We could 
see the range of values and then we could figure out how important the bias is. 
But beyond that, trying to match all formats to the same fixed value would at 
least give them all the same chance at bias.

When searching for the matching quality values for other formats, how precise 
did you make them? Was it only integers, or did you use decimal values for 
formats that support them? It would have been nice to see the quality values 
for the other formats in the data too.
