replies: text: I'm thinking about what to do with the Train stop article. It currently seems to be a mixture of explaining a general concept and explaining a specific implementation. After a google search, I even think that possibly this article here should be put under the title "Train stop". I guess the system used by the London Underground is only called train stop because this is a generic term (so the train stop article shouldn't be about the London Underground). Any clues, anyone? --Kabelleger 19:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Automatic Train Protection article is redundant with this one I think, and was originally just ad copy inserted by a manufacturer.  Gigs (talk) 17:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Dont merge. - I definitely think that separate articles are justified in this case. This article 'Train protection system', is more general in nature, covering all kinds of technology. 'Automatic Train Protection' deals with one specific system. Other articles exist with detailed descriptions of other equivalent systems. –Signalhead < T > 17:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Dont merge. As you say, other systems have their own articles, so why not ATP? However, although starting out specifically to describe the UK version, the ATP article seems to become more generic towards the end, including refs to systems in other countries. Suckindiesel (talk) 20:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Don't merge. It is important to clearly distinguish between a generic concept and a specific implementation. This article is about the concept (and a rough overview over the different varieties), the Automatic Train Protection article should be about that specific implementation of the Train protection system concept, and it seems to me that ATP is important enough to deserve its own article. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ultramicroscope

message: I have a problem with the words "intensely black background", which refer to nothing really precise. I would rather talk of "a very absorptive and non reflecting medium". In the same line of thought, one should remember that a black body is black in the sense that it only emit thermal light, but otherwise it radiates (emit light). To a good approximation, the sun is a black body.
"intensely" (as in a black background) is subjective and not given parameters as to when "intensely" complies.  "very" as in absorbative suffers from the same attributes.  Non-reflecting however is clear and binary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.173.17.11 (talk) 22:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: To me this refers to areas of life or business where few are succesful out of the many who try. For example, many people aspire to be actors, only a very small number become stars, while the bulk are often unemployed with below average incomes I think. Or in business, where several firms tender for a project, only one succeeds. It is also related to social inequality. I was disapointed that there is not an article here along these lines, unless its under the less usual wording winners take all. Another example is managers working very long hours because they hope to be eventually promoted to the top of the organisation. I understand from a book I once read about this (do not remember title or author), that most managers in these organisations are made redundant in mid-career, because a) younger managers are cheaper and b) due to the pyramid-shaped hierarchy of most organisations, there is only room for one or two at the top so that the bigger numbers at lower levels inevitably leads to disapointment. This was what happened to a relative of mine. The managers are tacitly encouraged to compete with each other for the senior posts, most are doomed not to get them, the book said. In general this may be an example of positive feedback, where someone initially has a small edge over others (probably just due to a chance fluctuation) which grows into a large edge over others. This link and the links from it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/3975035.stm covers some part of this, but I think it is a wider pheanomonem (sp?).

Wald's result also established the Bayesian formalism as a fundamental technique in such areas of frequentist statistics as point estimation, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals.
Wald characterized admissible procedures as Bayesian procedures (and limits of Bayesian procedures), making the Bayesian formalism a central technique in such areas of frequentist statistics as parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, and computing confidence intervals, as established by the following articles and then textbooks:

thread_title:  example please 

message: The relationship between the class of normal-form and extensive-form bayes procedures (i.e., those that minimize the average risk and those that minimize the posterior risk almost everywhere) is subtle.  These two classes are definitely not equal in general, as claimed in this article.
Next, the "mild" conditions relating admissibility and generalized Bayes optimality are not so mild. They generally rule out semi- and non-parametric inference problems.  There are fewer restrictions relating admissibility and the class of limits of Bayes procedures, but still, usually the action space is required to be a convex subset of a FINITE dimensional Euclidean space, ruling out nonparametric problems, generally. It seems very much open how to close these significant gaps.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.73.178 (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Hawkesbury Street Jn was where the line headed towards Dover Marine (Dover Western Docks) station.  However, after Hawkesbury Street Jn, there was a yard/siding area where shunting engines (Class 08/09) used to operate in order to shunt freight wagons on/off the train ferries to Europe (Boulogne/Calais/Dukirk/Ostend). This did NOT run through the Marine Station, and therefore, is correctly shown separately on the map (well it did, till someone changed it). I am saying this as someone who grew up in Canterbury, and who's daddy worked on the ferry's. I can picture Dover Marine in my head like it was yesterday. Sheepcot 23:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am thinking that there has been some confusion here. The PASSENGER train did go to Dover Marine. However, any railway traffic crossing the English Channel by means of the ferry, used to BYPASS the Marine station and go directly on to the ferry.  This is why I had tried to show a distinction between the marine station and the connection to the ferry.   The ferry "VORTIGERN", was specifically designed to take trains, and used to carry the Orient Express coaches across to Calais. I know this, because my father used to work on the ferries.
