AI Thread Summary
To calculate a trend for binary time series data, one can analyze the frequency of ones versus zeros over time. Plotting the data in a graphing tool like Excel allows for visual representation, where a trend line can indicate whether the prevalence of ones is increasing or decreasing. This can be achieved through simple arithmetic calculations, such as counting the occurrences of ones in specified intervals. Understanding the trend involves assessing these counts over time to determine the overall direction of the data. The discussion emphasizes the importance of visualizing binary data to identify trends effectively.

Hello,
So how do calculate a trend please for a set of time series data where the data values are binary thus:

000100111100010010101111000010101010101010000010111110000110

I know this must be real simple but I can’t seem to find a simple reference.
Many thanks IMK

Hello HallsofIvy and many thanks for your reply.
The best way I can describe what I mean be the Trend is as if you plot the data sequence as a graph in Excel and then add a trend line you can see if the number of one's to zero's is rising or falling. Any I had a soak in the bath on the problem and well I think it is simple arithmatic, unless I have mist something.

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

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...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
