The rating is simply the current ICC blitz rating.  The other stats are current
(from the time an account is added), but the blitz rating is so volatile that it
represents only the recent past anyway, so it's convenient to just use it as is.

Anytime an account is new, the activity measure will be skewed (as you
surmised).
