    Expectation value for CDF fails

    The infimum makes sense when you consider the degrees of freedom given all possible X and Y with CDF F1 and F2, so if F1=F2 then there will be one X=Y and the infimum will be zero. But anyway, the scenario where I am familiar with these metrics (stochastic programming) we already have a...

    Expectation value for CDF fails

    Yes you do edit live, but articles are under surveillance of the authors or the people that know about the subject, when someone changes the articles they immediately get a email warning about the change and they disagree they can revert the change immediately. When disagreement happens then...

    Expectation value for CDF fails

    That's all right, I will, but before I go on commenting with the rest of your post I just let you know that I got a threat of a ban from a mentor. Just telling you in case I happen to decay into photons :tongue: OK?

    Has the Higgs Boson Particle Been Discovered at Cern?

    That would be the probability from -5 to 5 in a standard normal distribution. N(0,1)

    Medical A treatment for Cancer to replace Chemotherapy

    Anyone would understand what "impossible situation" meant in that context. Anyone without an autistic personality, that is. You made it relevant, I don't remember asking you if my plot makes you feel heartened. And the fact they kill themselves is not contrived but the way they do it...

    Medical A treatment for Cancer to replace Chemotherapy

    I don't have to decide anything or push the universe into impossible situations because the universe is very good doing that on its own. On the other hand, obviously, Romeo and Juliet wouldn't get you heartened either because, hey! come on! The ending is contrived and backwards and needs an...

    Has the Higgs Boson Particle Been Discovered at Cern?

    That might be why they call it "The God's particle" :smile:

    Here is your convincing (however contrive) reason Sick N.H. woman rescued from South Pole And when your life is in danger a therapy which is not established as effective is better than no therapy at all.

    Expectation value for CDF fails

    I am listening to the X files theme tune while reading this... it's just appropriate. Well, Wikipedia got it nearly right because first they say: which is true but then they forget the approximate symbol from that moment on. So the article should use the ≈ sign for every no-linear case and...

    Medical A treatment for Cancer to replace Chemotherapy

    YES! So it might work! :smile: Besides, if Alice is infected she will infect Bob which means that Bob's immune system, having already recognized the antigen, might produce more antibodies for the cause. Oh! Well... What wouldn't Bob do to save her sweetheart, right? aaahh Love, I think I've...

    Medical A treatment for Cancer to replace Chemotherapy

    Oh I seeee...So basically we would get the job done and then bottle it up! And from horses too! that was interesting. So obviously not need for blood circuits. But for the sake of discussion and Hollywood script-writers; if we are in the middle of the ocean, or the jungle, or in a South Pole...

    Predicate logic to prove equality of two formulas

    Hi budihart, Adding to chiro's answer, you can write your program in just a few lines of code using Maxima as the core engine. Now, if you are actually interested in how to do that yourself chiro has already given you a few hints; In CS this kind of analysis is called parsing. If you want to...

    Medical A treatment for Cancer to replace Chemotherapy

    Oh I see... so even if it works, it'd be of little help... How about with an infection? If Bob's has already developed the antibodies for a dangerous virus and we suspect Alice might have it, would connecting Bob and Alice help in any way Alice?

    Yeah but, if Bob produces the antibodies, they will attack cancer cells while transiting Bob's body, meaning that those cancer cells won't go back alive to Alice's body in this scenario, which means this would clean the bloodstream from cancer cells... right? Edit: Thanks for the link by the way.

    Medical A treatment for Cancer to replace Chemotherapy

    Well, I didn't mentioned because it seemed to me so, so, so obvious that you would check for histocompatibility before the procedure that I just went on with the main idea. So, what you are saying is that even if both subjects are absolutely compatible in every medical way, the fact that they...
