Statistical analysis
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
The Wheel of Time main series consists of twelve books so far. The books are written from different points of view (POVs). The series has 114 unique POVs and 857 total POVs as of The Knife of Dreams. Each book section below details the breakdown of these points of view as calculated from a word count and expressed as a percentage.
The Chapter by Chapter Breakdown sections lists the POVs in order by chapter. The percentage expressed here takes the total number of words in that section and divides it by the total word count. If a character has multiple POVs in the same chapter, they are listed again and not totaled up in one line.
The Unique POV Breakdown sections lists all of the people (including Quotes and Narrator) who had POVs in the book. The second column counts how many POVs they had. The third column divides the number of POVs the person had by the number of total POVs in the book. The fourth column divides the word count of the POV by the total word count. For example, in The Eye of the World, Rand al'Thor has 44 POVs. This is 74.586% of the total number of POVs (59) in the book. The next percentage indicates that 79.569% of the words in book are from Rand's point of view.
