Line 3:
::Please, feel free to add another task to run a chi-square test on the results of [[Seven-dice from Five-dice]], but write the task in such a way that enough languages would be able to compute it if possible. (But then, if mathematica or R have a built-in function, shouldn't they be able to shine)? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
::: And why shouldn't they shine at something they're good at? —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 11:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 
==What is Delta?==
It would be nice if it interpretation of the delta parameter were more clearly specified.
I don't feel comfortable improvising. —[[User:sluggo|Dennis Furey]] 21:54, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 
:"...check bin counts are within +/- delta % of repeats/bincount" (From the Python example).
:I kinda knew that people with more experience probably wouldn't do it that way, (See the Chi-square comment above); but thought that if you took a fixed sample of a million, any fitness metric should be able to be translated into this form, so went with it. I have no idea of what is good-enough, and also didn't want to parrot some figure of fitness that I did not understand. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
