I tend to agree with Mogens. This list is not reliable. You simply cannot say that for statistics experts it IS reliable. I know something about stats and this list is NOT reliable. But if it is officially declared that this list should be respected as reliable in CCC then I will respect the decion but I will not accept that it is true that the list is reliable. But I will not repeat the statement if the list is NOT presented all three days. Or all two months with music and all... :) Rolf Tueschen > >I find your work valuable and correct from a scientifical point of view, but >it's probably because I understand statistics a little bit. > >Looks like some people here don't, so they probably need a good book on the >subject. > >No matter how many times the subject has been discussed, it seems that every >time a new list is published we need to explain all over again what a margin of >error and a confidence interval is. > >It's not the "Computer Chess Club" anymore.
