I meant more like where would you get these data from? I guess the most precise would be to actually seed a bunch of torrents to different ratios and then test retrievability after X months.
Yeah you would have to study it. I am sure the tracker itself has much data on this, which is why private trackers structure their rules the way they do. In my personal experience, I try to stop seeding torrents that have more than 10 seeders already and a ratio above 1 on my client and more than 60 days seed time. That keeps me from hitting the limits of my torrent client / network / storage / etc.
