08:22:41 From Marcus Nørgaard Weng : It makes sense now:) 08:28:07 From svend korsgaard : after all, everytime we solve the schrødinger equation, we are actually solving for a PDF right? 08:28:15 From Marcus Nørgaard Weng : So are there some intrinsic properties in different physical systems which make them produce some specific pdf on their measurements? 08:31:50 From Marta Mrozowska : just in terms of notation, we will always use mu and sigma for the "ideal" or "underlying" distributions, and x_bar and s_hat for measured distributions? 08:42:30 From Silvia : How do we assess when N is big enough to use the Poisson formula? 08:46:35 From Steen Bender : will the sum still be one then? 08:47:07 From Steen Bender : also if you add to poisson? 08:47:40 From Steen Bender : cool thanks 08:48:19 From svend korsgaard : like between 3 and 10? 08:48:19 From Victor von Wachter : 300 worldwide 08:48:19 From Jonas la Cour : 1/10^6 ? 08:48:20 From Marcus Nørgaard Weng : 0 08:48:20 From Marta Mrozowska : people or planes? 08:48:20 From Steen Bender : between 1 and 10000 08:48:26 From Marta Mrozowska : 10 08:48:28 From Jaime Caballer : 150 08:48:30 From Marcus Winther Dreisler : 1 08:48:30 From Katriona Gould : 1 or less 08:48:32 From Jeppe Karnøe Knudsen : 5 08:48:32 From Marcus Nørgaard Weng : 0 most years 08:48:32 From Andreas Mosgaard Jørgensen : 3 08:48:32 From Steen Bender : pi^2 08:48:32 From Kiril : 5 08:48:32 From svend korsgaard : 6 08:48:33 From Jakob kruse : 31 08:48:34 From Victor von Wachter : 5 planes 08:48:34 From Pablo Alberdi- Pagola : 5 08:48:34 From jmlin : 100 08:48:34 From Qinyi Chen : 5 08:48:35 From Magnus : 5 08:48:35 From Kristine Marie Løfgren Krighaar : 5 08:48:35 From Thor : 3 08:48:35 From David : 2 08:48:35 From Jens Edelvang-Pejrup : 3 08:48:36 From Bia Fonseca : 1 or less 08:48:36 From Aske Luja Lehmann Rosted : 100 08:48:36 From Norman Pedersen : 0.5 08:48:38 From Nikos Giannoulis : 7 08:48:38 From Camilla : 10 08:48:40 From Leon Bozianu : 4 08:48:41 From xiangyin tan : 0.01 08:48:52 From Aske Luja Lehmann Rosted : small airplanes included? 08:49:15 From svend korsgaard : So fear of flying is irratioanl? 08:49:50 From svend korsgaard : can you repeat the question? 08:50:06 From Marta Mrozowska : no because the co2 emissions have a long term effect on your life ;) 08:50:32 From Aske Luja Lehmann Rosted : stop binning in years? 08:53:10 From jmlin : so if the mechanism is changed, so the distribution could be changed ? 08:53:40 From Nikolay Georgiev : In the airplane example: wouldn’t you look at the historical data spread, not the sqr root of an average? 08:54:39 From svend korsgaard : I just don´t understand how a symmetric distribution (Binomial) can reduce to a distribution that is not symmetric (Poisson) 08:56:54 From Jakob : What about the assumptions underlying the distribution like constant rate and the outcomes not being independent. Are these assumptions that one makes and that work in most cases? 09:02:33 From Nikolay Georgiev : In practice, wouldn’t we use Student’s most of the time? How often do we know really know the true variance? 09:05:17 From Jakob : I will post mine again: What about the assumptions underlying the poisson distribution like constant rate and the outcomes not being independent. Are these assumptions that one makes and that work in most cases? 09:05:23 From Jonas la Cour : So the rationale for Poisson was the computation of factorials what's the motivation for gaussian instead of Poisson ? 09:06:39 From Jonas la Cour : Fair
