Can we use partial means as a predictor for the response while fitting a regression line or curve?.

Hey bhartish and welcome to the forums.

What is a partial mean? Is this just a mean of a subset of your actual data? I've never come across this term before.

It's used in econometrics and involves the weighted averages of derivatives of regression functions. They're defined in section 2.2 of the link.

The answer to the OPs question seems to be yes, where it's appropriate.

BTW, "urgent" and "needed" along with "ASAP" are bound to get your posts ignored. There are plenty of smart folks here that will help you, but they'll be turned off if you wait until the last minute and then demand help. If you are in need, post your questions early so members can help you, and you can get clarification along the way. Just a suggestion.

Yes. Ditto for exclamation marks !
 

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...

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
