False discovery rate

Hi Tony. Regarding your message on my user page, I'm afraid that it's a bit beyond my expertise, though I can make some general comments that might be helpful. I also find myself a bit too busy with work at present to do much wikification. I think the opening paragraph is good, but there should be more exposition in the sections that follow, explaining the context in more detail. There also seems to be some jargon about activation in the table there. Is that from signal processing? Finally, since the formula (\forall k \leq i) etc. is quite simple, I wondered if there might be some simple derivation or explanation for it. Cheers, Ben Cairns 09:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

TeX

Hello. Note that in TeX, you don't need to write \operatorname{min}; you can just write \min. This not only prevents italicization, but also affects spacing and the position of subscripts. Thus if you type \min_i x_i, you get this:

\min _{i}x_{i}\,

whereas with \operatorname{min}_i x_i, you get this:

\operatorname {min} _{i}x_{i}\,

Notice both the smaller space between "min" and "x_i in the second version, and also the difference between the positions of the subscript i in the two versions. Michael Hardy 02:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your nominations

Could you consider giving more reason then "nn" in your nominations. It takes time to create articles, and people are owed an explanation, as to why they should be deleted. There may be a perfectly valid reason why you think something is "non notable", but it should be stated. I feel this is an issue of showing respect for the time of others. --Rob 10:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another way to show respect for the time of others would be not to nominate high schools. It is around a year since an article about a genuine high school was deleted, but in that time there have been hundreds of failed nominations, which between them have wasted a great deal of time. Nominating high schools serves no purpose except making a point and it creates ill feeling in the community, so please don't do it again. CalJW 10:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know that the threshold for wikipedia is at high school and we delete anything below. This nomination is about something that is a mix of middle school, junior high and high and, in this case of a mix, I honestly thought it should be deleted. Sorry for not putting that in the nomination. Tony 15:42, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's not the threshold anymore. What you say was partly true in 2004. Please review Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/Schools for deletion archive and Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/Schools for deletion archive/2005. The standard for a year is to keep virtually all elementaries and middle schools. Most deleetions have been for copyright violations, attack content, or verifiability issues. But not "notability". Netivot Hatorah Day School and York Hill Elementary School were the last verifiable real elementary schools deleted on Wikipedida, back in August 2005 (they were the exception at that time). Things like preschools and unaccredited schools continue to be deleted of course. But not verifiable real elementaries and middle schools. -Rob 17:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE-The Vichy 80

Original message :

Hi,

I am a bit puzzled by your edit on The Vichy 80 article. Why did you remove the wiki to fr:Loi constitutionnelle du 10 juillet 1940? Although it's not exactly the same subject, it's fairly close. Actual, there was some Talk:The Vichy 80 to split the English article if enough material gets included, but in the meantime, isn't better to keep the cross wiki? Tony 14:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wait a while. There needs to be enough time between the last AfD and the next one so that people don't complain that it was re-listed too quickly.

You recently added a {verify} tag at the top of this article. Much of the content in the article is factual (band members, discography, etc), so I suspect you are questioning content in specific sections and/or paragraphs. It would be helpful to those of us who monitor that article if you could move the {verify} tag to the section you feel needs work, and/or add some specific comments to the article's talk page. -- Engineer Bob 17:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hotelling T square distribution

I think you may have misread the first sentence of Hotelling's T-square distribution. It only says that the T-square distribution is used in multivariate hypothesis testing. Nowhere does it say that the distribution itself is multivariate. In fact, you just need to look at the definition of the $T^{2}$ test statistic to see that it is a scalar (essentially, a weighted inner product of two vectors). Also see the corresponding entry on MathWorld. Cheers, --MarkSweep (call me collect) 18:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Band plurals

I just saw your message at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#plural_with_music_bands, but as that was a few weeks ago, I'm replying here in case you aren't watching that page any more. American_and_British_English_differences#Singular_and_plural_for_nouns probably explains this better than I can, but British English uses are a band and American English uses is a band. Bands named the Somethings such as the Eagles, complicate matters. I always thought that the plural is used in these situations in Am Eng, but as a Br Eng speaker I may be wrong. Possibly both are acceptable. The general rule of thumb is to use is a band for American bands, are a band for British bands, and whichever was used first for bands from non-English speaking countries.

Online Tutoring

Thanks for removing the online tutoring providers link (several times) on this page. I started this page and took on the lofty task of trying to provide a useful summary. Later experience on Wikipedia informs me that this kind of link does not belong on this page. I'm happy to note that the page hasnt changed much content-wise besides this.

Your request for arbitration

As a Clerk of the Arbitration Committee, I noticed that in your request for arbitration concerning Online Tutoring, you did not indicated that you had notified the other parties of your request. You are required to provide a notification to each of the other parties and provide a link to it in the request. Please do this as soon as possible.

The arbitrators who have commented so far have suggested that this matter is not suitable for arbitration because earlier steps in dispute resolution have not been explored. You may want to consider withdrawing your arbitration request and trying to address the issue you are concerned about through other means. Newyorkbrad 13:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We use the shorthand notation to denote the joint probability of $(X,T(X))$ by $f_{\theta }(x,t)$ . Since $T$ is a function of $X$ , we have $f_{\theta }(x,t)=f_{\theta }(x)$ and thus:

f_{\theta }(x)=f_{\theta }(x,t)=f_{\theta |t}(x)f_{\theta }(t)

with the last equality being true by the definition of conditional probability distributions. Thus $f_{\theta }(x)=a(x)b_{\theta }(t)$ with $a(x)=f_{\theta |t}(x)$ and $b(x)=f_{\theta }(t)$ .

Reciprocally, if $f_{\theta }(x)=a(x)b_{\theta }(t)$ , we have

{\begin{aligned}f_{\theta }(t)&=\sum _{x:T(x)=t}f_{\theta }(x,t)\\&=\sum _{x:T(x)=t}f_{\theta }(x)\\&=\sum _{x:T(x)=t}a(x)b_{\theta }(t)\\&=\left(\sum _{x:T(x)=t}a(x)\right)b_{\theta }(t)\end{aligned}}

With the first equality by the definition of pdf for multiple variables, the second by the remark above, the third by hypothesis, and the fourth because the summation is not over $t$ .

Thus, the conditional probability distribution is:

{\begin{aligned}f_{\theta |t}(x)&={\frac {f_{\theta }(x,t)}{f_{\theta }(t)}}\\&={\frac {f_{\theta }(x)}{f_{\theta }(t)}}\\&={\frac {a(x)b_{\theta }(t)}{\left(\sum _{x:T(x)=t}a(x)\right)b_{\theta }(t)}}\\&={\frac {a(x)}{\sum _{x:T(x)=t}a(x)}}\end{aligned}}

With the first equality by definition of conditional probability density, the second by the remark above, the third by the equality proven above, and the fourth by simplification. This expression does not depend of $\theta$ and thus $T$ is a sufficient statistics.

Little context in Berg v. Obama

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Berg v. Obama, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Berg v. Obama is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Berg v. Obama, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Online Tutoring Redirected to Virtual Education

Thanks for your efforts on the original page Bruguiea. I noticed Jbmurray, Mark Quigley and Bazzargh have successfully killed this page and redirected it. Those guys really do good stuff but as I are fallible sometimes as in this case, in my opinion. Only in a world in which professionals in one area try to increase the breadth of their contributions through catch-all aggregation would online tutoring be subsumed under virtual education. Is tutoring and education the same thing? Tutoring is an activity that implies action by some professional human or agent while education exists in a broader context that might not even include tutoring for a successful attainment of its purpose. Its ok to request improvement to the Online Tutoring page and if I had the time (and might in future) I would improve it. But directing users to Virtual Education when they request information or description of Online Tutoring weakens Wikipedia and does not serve seekers well. It also does not help them find the content well as it does not rank on good engines since it is not the same thing.

The problem I had with the Online Tutoring page (which for full disclosure I created) was attempts to turn it into a web directory. Otherwise, it provides (or should) the information seekers need on online tutoring and that specifically. And more professional work needs to be done also (nothing on research on effectiveness of virtual education, new work on speech recognition in browsers and disability etc) on that Virtual Education page rather than going around copying or aggregating related but different contents from other pages and minimizing Wikipedia. Just my opinion but I still love what you guys do seeing I cant even commit a tenth the time. --keal (talk) 18:30, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dominique Cottrez

A tag has been placed on Dominique Cottrez requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Image added at QR decomposition

Hi Bruguiea, I have a few comments on the image you just added:

Something seems wrong with the arrows at the topmost vertex
Is it possible to make the font agree with, e.g., the LaTeX math font? (This is just personal taste.)
Why is there so much empty space at the top of the image?
The fact that the dotted line is dotted is not visible in the article; maybe make it dashed instead?

Also, there are some grammatical issues in the caption; I suggest you replace "... a vector of same length by collinear to e1 ..." with "... a vector of same length which is collinear to e1 ..." and replace "Instead the Householder reflection do a symmetry along the dashed line" with "Instead, the Householder reflection reflects through the dotted line (chosen to bisect the angle between x and e1)." Also, it's not clear to me what the significance of the last sentence of the caption is. Thanks for adding the image! (And sorry for nit-picking.) --Joel B.

Possible removal of AWB access due to inactivity

Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB.
