Here's some related questions that would be interesting:
How old is the contester? How long has (s)he been a ham? What license class?
These answers would help profile the contester.
On a related subject, has anyone ever analyzed Sweepstakes logs to determine
how many new hams participate and how that participation increases/decreases
over the years? Since your year of license is part of the exchange it should
be easy to write a program to do the analysis on computer logs. For example:
(number of hams licensed in 92)/(total qso's) = percentage of new hams
participating.
(number of hams licensed in 91)/(total qso's) = percentage of hams
participating 1 yr later.
etc.
Just food for thought.
