See this is fascinating to me. You are the statistician I originally replied to, and yet you also won't clearly answer the questions! This is like pulling teeth, but the implication seems to be my take on this statistical test was ba

"if they said, we have 8 people with COPD in the first group and then waited for COPD patients to show up at the ER for the second group until they had 8" Did you not read this? I asked whether if they did this they would come up

The entire second group was picked after the first one, and there were imbalances on almost half of the diagnoses. So if I understand this right, the problem is not the 1.0s since if they were selecting the same number of patients with the

As a non-statistician I can tell you this blog is absolutely unconvincing, because it doesn't explain anything about what the test is. Apparently this test is how likely it is for the same number of people to have the primary diagnosis

If you just apply CA's 49% natural gas (according to DOE) to the 45 mpg for 100% natural gas you come up with a gas-burning car needing >90 mpg to be cleaner -- well higher than the 70 mpg you calculated vs charging on natural gas -

I've already said twice now that it's not patent-worthy, so it seems we're in agreement on that point.

I don't even see a single comment mentioning doing this in 1 cycle except from those who read the patent, much less reusing existing functional units to do so, so it's not clear to me any commenter came up with an equivalent to th
