I am currently in Dallas, amongst many hats. My flight has been delayed and I am enjoying the strangeness of blogging from a stainless steel keyboard in a very public setting. Unfortunately for anyone who is watching this, nothing I post is particularly exciting. I drank many coffees last night and today, watched a few episodes of NCIS, and tried to rectify the probability distribution thing using Fisher's ... my idea was maybe to split the probability of repeatedly selecting the same colored ball in one distribution (single sample with replacement) from the probability of choosing a red ball from the two red and blue balls (a constant probability of 1/2, but contingent on the selection in the first sample), therefore you have two distributions, but one is dependent on the other. I thought maybe I could use fishers to look at this like two parts of an experiment. The overall probability is different than the sum or the multiple of its parts. Unfortunately, fisher's assumes that the two tests are independent. I need to look further into what to do if they are dependent on one another.
That is all for now. Time to head to SF to see my favorite person.
