I'm sorry, I'm not following you.  Are you saying that "last analysis
tuples" is "number of dead + live tuples from the previous anlyze"?  If so,
that would really confuse me because X would always be 0:

X = lt + dt - at
X = pg_stat_user_tables.n_live_tup + n_dead_tup - (n_live_tup + n_dead_tup)
X = 0

....or is there something else wrong with the formula?
