Orton's Arm Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Conversely, you could take the error completely out of your simulation. Test your population, then test them again. "On average", people who score very well/poorly will score less well/poorly even in the absence of error, because chance (i.e. the probability distribution of a normal distribution) dictates it. That's not the way I set up my simulation. Each given member's true I.Q. stayed constant for the two tests. Therefore, someone who scored a 155 on the first error-free I.Q. test would score a 155 on the second, the third, and the fiftieth.

Bungee Jumper Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 That's not the way I set up my simulation.834048[/snapback] But as I keep telling you, YOUR SIMULATION IS A MEANINGLESS PIECE OF sh--!

Bungee Jumper Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 You weren't right the first ten times you said that. What makes you think you're right now? 834645[/snapback] I am right. I can mathematically prove I'm right. I've explained why I'm right. Other people have explained why I'm right. You're just too friggin' stupid to understand.

You're just too friggin' stupid to understand. 834668[/snapback] You don't understand the phenomenon my simulation is intended to exhibit. You don't understand how my simulation was set up. You didn't understand the Wikipedia article about regression toward the mean, nor the HyperStat article to which I linked. You didn't understand that my simulation is set up in the same way, and intended to prove the same point, as the simulation to which HyperStat linked. Nearly every word you've written about the relationship between measurement error and regression toward the mean has been based on a faulty and incorrect understanding of the heart of the issue. You still don't understand it, despite my Herculean efforts to explain it to you.

IBTG81 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I haven't read this thread all weekend. So, what's new? Is HA still giving it to Tommy?

Does this mean they are better at regressing toward the mean than most other teams?

Taro T Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 That's why they're so good. They're less wrong than most teams. 836486[/snapback] Maybe that would look good on a shirt. "We're less wrong than most teams. (Except when we try to pick a new friggin' logo.)" It would definitely look better than the new logo. I'm not sure what crayons should be used to color the shirt though.

Cornerville Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Should we call JP-era back to help with the coloring? 837366[/snapback] He still has not recovered from the fact the Bills did not sign a stud FA at 12:02am the first day of FA. Give him time.
