For example, $0.93 * 1.07432 = is $0.9991176 exactly, which rounds to $1.00. But if you buy a dozen such items then $0.93 * 12 * 1.07432 = $11.9894112 exactly, which rounds to $11.99.
"The target a school is given will be based on attendance levels achieved by others in similar circumstances, including deprivation, location and pupils’ needs. Targets will not be published and will not be accessible to the schools inspectorate, Ofsted."
Sounds like good old-fashioned statistics, not AI.
We survived the hugs (see below).
I hope you get a chance to come by... we have an ESIAC (electronic science incorporated algebraic computer) analog computer and lots of graph paper that might interest you.
IIRC the reason that the family got the name "Germanic" is basically that it was some Germans that came up with the idea. I'm having trouble sourcing this though.
Last I heard was that the German tribe the language group was named after weren't even germanic soeakers. Like the fact that the Franks were a germanic speaking tribe who abandoned their language for the local dialect of latin which become French.
The romans called the area Germania after the germani that lived there. Germani is believed to be a celtic word though. So it's possible that the original Germani were actual celtic speakers. Which is another branch of old indo-european.
My favorite bit of this survey (scroll down to "Miscellaneous") is that one of the color names in the raw data set is "unsure-whether-boy-or-girl baby room color". My daughter's room is this color - we painted before she was born. They told us we were going to have a boy but they misread the ultrasound.
For Euclidean distance it seems to be in the neighborhood of (59, 250, 60) which is a bright green, although of course Euclidean distance is not perceptual distance. The blue at (57, 42, 214) also is up there.
Pick points at random, then use a general-purpose optimization method (the optim function in R) to find local maxima. I don’t claim this is a good way to do it.
