    Is a "USB3 A Female" to "Micro B Male" OTG adapter w/ 5gbps data possible?

    Is it possible for a USB A 3.0 Female to Micro B Male OTG adapter to transfer data from the USB 3.0 source to the Micro B source at 5gbps speeds, and can the Micro B receive and process all of that data from it's Micro B port? Here's a link to the device, and a picture from it that claims this...

    I Weighting data based on the errors

    Hello! I have some data (counts) with a Poisson error associated to it and I want to make a fit to the data. I am trying to weight the data inversely proportional to the errors, such that the data points with high errors are less important for the fit. However, using the the error on its own...

    What can we learn from a friend's solar home data in Vermont?

    I visited a friend who has a very nice solar installation. He also has the software to do data collection and presentation. I thought it would be nice to share some of his data here. Perhaps we can link to this post as a reference in future solar discussions. First, some background. The...

    I Take errors into account for a data fit

    Hello! I have some data in which the dependent variable ##y## has, for each data point, an error bar associated with it ##\delta y##. The errors are almost identical for each datapoint, so doing a weighted fit in terms of the errors would not change the results significantly. How can I take the...

    A Getting structure data from a partition function?

    Hello, From wikipedia, this is the partition function for a "classical continuous system": This is the pillar of classical statistical physics, but it can be seen as a mere kind of "mathematical transform" . It can be used even without thinking to statistics or temperature. If we focus only...
