Top two by rep (according to http://steemwhales.com/?p=1&s=reputation)
@stellabelle V index 114 Rep 72.3
@tuck-fheman V index 93 Rep 71.2
I'm currently a 1. (I think my academic H index got up to 5 or so, but I left academia awhile ago so haven't really checked lately)
It would be interested to graph the correlation between V index and reputation score for a larger data set.
Hilariously we posted the same idea at the same time. Check my comment below.
Interesting, when I calculate it for everyone, I'll check out the r2 value with rep. I bet it's pretty high!
My gut feel would be that outliers would be those who get most of their upvotes and rep from commenting rather than original top level posts, but it seems like there will be high correlation.
Those are actually factored into the /full/ method, too. Though, similarly, I would anticipate whales who don't comment often to affect the measure, since the reputation calculation is weighted by the amount of SP an account holds (I think?).
