Ok, I do admit that I could try to write a small introduction to things that will help. But, I have looked at a lot of your posts, and I rearely see you do anything except post some formula that anyone could get from a textbook. You want my respect show me that you don;t need to make excuses...
Come one now studly. I like that dismiss everything written there by saying it is not clear and then put forth some simple little pedantic fact to make yourself seem beyond it all. Your description of what you think I said is hardly close. Do you even know what the hypergeometric or the...
[Note: P and p throughout are probabilities]
Fact: The hypergeometric distribution is the precise probability of crawing from a dichotomous (S-F) population without replacement.
A family of probabilistic sieves can be constructed using this fact as follows.
Step 1: Suppose we know all...
The chi-sqaure is better than ANOVA for categorical data. Besides ANOVA assumes iid and normal. The chi-square is really just a goodness-of-fit test.
t-tests assume continuous variables and normal distributions. His data is ordinal on five categories.
Let R - {1,2,3,4,5} be the response...
Your right I was thinking modular and got the formula wrong. This is not strictly modular though. I guess to satisfy I will just do the damn thing right.
A homomorphism (M) between two groups Z (integers under addition) and G (multiplicative group) has the following properties.
i) M(x+y)...
That's why I asked Dummit and Foote ( an often used textbook in graduate schools) defines fixed element to be an element of a group G that is left fixed by some automorphism of G.
I like that point. Without drawing in unprovable religious statements, a reasonable hypothesis might be that humans have the ability to be jealous hateful, ... and have self-discipline, empathy, compassion, generosity, beneficence,...
Many religious try to explain these things as opposing...
I agree with the examples you gave, but humans are a different species at least so it is possible that our habits and genetic disposition are different enough that we are free to be considered in our own right.
I have observed that in the American Midwest women much enjoy the idea of a monogamous relationship. But I suspect it has to do with inate possessiveness and insecurities as much as social pressure or religious upbringing. My understanding is that men would tend to have more partners than...
WTH! Your terminology is a bit different than I am used to so I will state my assumptions. By fixed element of G you mean it is invariant under automorphism. Z meaning the integers under addition?
Ok, a^0 = 1 so your set is {1,a} at least. a will generate a multiplicative subgroup with...
The way to handle any question like this , no matter the distribution (well there are some pathological examples but they are rare) is to integrate. So integrate under that probability distribution from 0 to 200 and then 800 to infinity. As long as you have normalized the distribution the...
