The meaning of Mean - E(X) - Mu and other Greek letters

What the fock is going on in here??

Music lessons

much as i dislike single smilie replies;

actually, it's not a single smilie reply, because, interesting as all this is, what use is it? no really...... see, i'm not big on stats, i'm a free thinker (when i'm allowed) i live on the cutting edge (on bedding schemes and such) i'm dangerous; stez-dangerous and i feel a name change coming on

Or Biology.

Classic.

After the fiasco that was maximum likelihood estimates and multivariate distributions I decided to stop doing stats.

MLE's were piss easy - says me. They could get ugly at times, but at least they were predictable.

Power and Hypothesis testing were the only troublesome crap in terms of theory. Practical Hypothesis testing is sensationally easy, but actually developing the test to begin with... that's the troublesome bit. Particularly for multivariate distributions.

Moral: let someone else find the best test or use an existing test.

Pardon

If you ever take stats (theory course) at university, you'll know.

:laugh: Imeant: What, where did this come from, dear moderators?

Oh yes... that ol' chestnut.

I decided that it had no place in the Leicester City forum... so like a midwife, I ripped this little string of posts from the Womb of the Metric Point system by Daggers... and placed it on the scales known as General Chat. Like any good midwife, I dropped the bastard on it's head before I got to the scales, but I did clean up the blood and goo once I placed it safely on said scales.

Who said I couldn't do analogies?

Once I understood them they were ok, unfortunately my poor attendance last year didn't help.

I think my mark in the Math Stats module I did last year show this.

22% in Math Stats A, 72% in Math Stats B.

From a fail to a first, ideal.

Apparently I'm half Greek, half Egyptian and half English.

Make of that what you will.
