AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around drawing an elliptic abacus using pgfplots and TikZ in the context of statistics, specifically related to binomial confidence intervals. The original poster seeks clarification on the specific function needed for the graph, indicating uncertainty about the function itself. A response highlights the confidence interval for a binomial distribution, suggesting a formula involving the probability of success and the number of trials. However, there is confusion regarding the graph's axes and the exact nature of the variables involved. Further information is requested to better understand the graph's requirements.

Could you help me please
With which function can we draw elliptic abacus in Statistic?
I want to draw this function with pgfplots, tikz
thank you

Hi yakoum! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

Can you clarify what you're asking for?

Is it about how to create a tikz plot at all?
Or a tikz plot with axes like that?
Or is it about a specific set of functions? If so, which ones?
 
I want to know with which function we can draw this graph(I don't know the function).
in Statistic, it concern binomial when we calculate confidence interval when nf<20 and n(1-f) <20
Is it clear?

Well... the confidence interval for a binomial distribution would be $np \pm \sqrt{np(1-p)}$, where $p$ is the probability of a success and $n$ is the number of trials.
But to be honest, I don't understand your graph yet. You have a $p$ there, which might be the probability of a success, but it could also be the p-value related to the confidence interval. The $f$ axis might be one or the other - I can't tell.
Either way, if I plot it myself, with some assumptions, I get graphs that are somewhat similar, but not the same.

Can you provide some more information?
What are the axes supposed to represent?
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
