Talk:Directional statistics

message: The modulus method only works in few specific cases (such as the example given). 
Consider the same example but rotated further to the left so that the three angles are 330, 340 and 350 degrees. Taking the modulus 360 of the sum (1020) results in 2 remainder 280, which divided by 3 is clearly not 340.
As the remainder (in a modulus 360 operation) can only range from 0 to 360, the 'average' can only range from 0 to 360/n.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the procedure, I would suggest taking it out.

Talk:Deseret Ranches

message: The King Ranch is 825,000 acres and is a cattle ranch.  How is this the largest?--Counsel 20:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure, but the King Ranch may not be putting out a lot of beef.  In 2000, according to the article, Deseret sold 16 *million pounds* of calves.  From what i can gather initially, King Ranch is somewhat more of a large scale historical location rather than a large supplier of beef.  I could be wrong, but I didn't find any sort of numbers about King Ranch's production, and without them, there's not much to dispute it. -- Vaevictus (talk) 21:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Largest means the largest size, not the largest beef output. This is incredibly misleading. While the citation does claim "largest", I don't see how that claim is legitimate in the normal context of the word. I am going to change it "most productive".

Talk:Cinema of Serbia

message: Hello, fellow editors. In the section related to cinema of the 90s and early 00s there is a paragraph that I find a little out of place. I'll be quoting the exact paragraph here: "After the end of Yugoslav wars Serbs were mainly presented as villains in Hollywood movies. Sociologist Vladimir Vuletić concludes that the demonization of Serbs contributed to creation of the stereotypes about the nation. Vuletić emphasizes that such stereotypes gave inspiration to people who wanted to identify with "bad guys" when committing crimes, such as Christchurch mosque shootings or 2011 Norway attacks, although they know nothing about the real events involving Serbs, nor they are in any way connected with them". There are two problems I see with it: 1. This is a page about the cinema of Serbia. How is portrayal of Serbs in the cinema of the United States related to Serbian cinema? 2. I think that the article that was cited is not enough to back this claim, hence the entire paragraph seems biased.

message: From the CIBC article:
*In March 2006, CIBC officials announced their intention of buying majority control of their publicly held Caribbean joint venture the FirstCaribbean International Bank.  The deal costing just over US$1billion (Bds$2 billion) would purchase the current 43.7% owned by Barclays Bank PLC and would raise CIBC's current ownership to 87.4%, from 43.7%.  Upon closure of the deal, the top four Caribbean commercial banks would be consolidated merely to a top three, with those being Scotiabank, the FirstCaribbean International Bank, and the Royal Bank of Canada with a possible distant fourth-place bank varying in each territory.  Following the deal, the regional head-office for FCI is expected to remain located in Barbados, with that regional centre continuing to report to the Toronto CIBC head-office. , , (Final agreement for sale).
The deal closed closed on December 23rd, as expected near the end of 2006. is awaiting approval by several Caribbean regional regulators, as well as the securities exchanges in the Caribbean where majority ownership

Talk:Negligible function

message: It is important to state whether definitions are of the type "for all .. there exists .." or "there exists .. for all ..". However, many definitions are very unclear, for example this one:
:(Negligible function) A continuous function \mu(x):\mathbb{R}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R} is negligible if for all sufficiently large x's, for every positive polynomial poly(x)=\frac{1}{\epsilon(x)}>0 such that
::|\mu(x)|<\epsilon(x)=\frac{1}{poly(x)}.
I think dropping the term "sufficiently large" and inserting explicit quantifiers makes the definitions more clear. 85.2.117.73 08:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess what you mean is that the order, "for all positive polynomials", then "there exists an Nc", then "for all n larger than Nc", is critical to make the definition correct.  English descriptions are normally ambiguious.  Support your editings because pure math notions are better here.--Jiejunkong 18:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguous statements 

message: In Algebras of generalized functions, Colombeau algebra is rated as the most widely used approach to construct associative differential algebras, where differentiable functions (at everywhere) must also be continuous (at everywhere).  In the current content, I think "infinitesimal functions" should be renamed as "continuous infinitesimal functions" as infinitesimal functions could be non-continuous at certain points, but what are concerned here are "continuous infinitesimal functions".

Maybe it's just trivia, but I love trivia, and I personally don't ever think of something like that as unimportant.
