Is the ability to reproduce an input value to the network?

I've noticed that those who bunch together reproduce very well but the planks sometimes form death traps killing the entire group. Some creatures are left over but they seem to avoid each other; sometimes one creature is chasing the ot

Thanks, this is informative and pretty similar to what I've been implementing in JavaScript. I guess I'll have to take a deeper look into literature when doing an update to that topic.

I find this part of statistics very hard to argue about. Simulations only work with well-known distributions, but even then not all of them. Even when you have a simulation that confirms hypothesis A1 using distribution D1 it says little ab

Matlab / GNU/Octave code: rand('seed',123); outer_rounds = 100; inner_rounds = 100; items = 500; q99_mean_vec = []; q99_complete_vec = []; for ior = 1:outer_rounds; q99_vec = [];

> Even P99 estimates averaged from many tiny samples are at most inaccurate, they won't be biased. Are you sure about this?

You are right when looking at the true P99 of the whole distribution. Then the P99 will always have the same value. The problem arises when estimating a distribution from incomplete data. E.g. estimating the P99 from 200 data points each wi

I've recently written a page about "averaging" percentiles correctly by approximating the combined histograms of two distributions. This is demonstrated in a live time diagram with logarithmic time axis here: http:/
