I did not understand the 3 bins of 0%, 1%, 2% etc. declination. Does anyone have a simple explanation for that?
Also, the point about the sun is good -- maybe they just don't want sun in their eyes. Clearly the very dedicated and obsessed researcher needs to do a similar study but indoors. Can you imagine who has the personal passion to do this data collection?
- contravariant 7y agoI don't have a particularly good explanation for those specific choices, but I did notice that they resulted in somewhat similar sample sizes across all three bins, so it might just have been that.
- supernova87a 7y agoOh, I meant, I don't even understand what the bins are -- what is the declination measuring that they wanted to divide the data up by?
