Was wondering if anyone had a good source on Chernoff Bounds? Looking for something that is easy to follow and has good step by step instructions and/or a good example.

Thanks,

Have you tried Google? The first entry is to Wikipedia, which may be what you want.
 
I looked at wikipedia, other books, but for some reason it isn't making any sense. lol. I'm tyring to find something that I can use to help me with a problem I have that includes plotting which is why I'm looking for something on the sense of an example problem in hopes I can back track and follow it that way.
 

Thread 'Here's a Statistics problem for game of Polo (or Hockey if you like)'

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...

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

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...
