I have the following sequences of numbers:
1) 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
2) 32, 16, 8, 2, 1, 0.5
3) 32, 16, 4, 2, 1, 0.5,
4) 32, 16, 4, 1, 0.25, 0.0625

I'm interested which of the above has the fastest rate of convergence.
(mathematical formula is needed). I should be able to plot the rates of
convergence against each other, and it should be concluded from the plot.
(The data given above are just the illustration)

This means I should be able to tell which sequence drops/decreases faster from the plot.
For example, given sequences {32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1} and {128, 32, 8, 2, .5, .125} I should be able to tell that the second sequence drops faster (decreases by /4). How to extract this data and plot it, so that the answer is obvious? Thanks
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
