The level of significance is arbitrary because as you stated, it can be any value. Therefore you simply calculate the p value, which is the actual probability of making a Type I error. The whole idea of a significance level is archaic. It's only usefulness is in introductory classes and to explain what an actual probability value of a test statistic is. Confidence levels are also arbitrary as you can calculate them for any level of confidence between 0 and 1. At least in biology we are rapidly moving away from the idea of statistical significance. The Bayesians have given up on it a long time ago. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

He actually had it in sideways anyway.

Actually a significance level, or more correctly an alpha level (the type I error rate) is not actually necessary. One can simply calculate the probability of the test and utilize it in the context of the original hypothesis without the need of a totally arbitrary alpha level.

He only listened with one ear.

Sorry to hear your family joined the puking kids contingent Dan. Definitely no fun. Hope this passes quickly.

Absolutely sucks. Hope they get well soon.

Totally agree. I feel no real need for an upgrade from the 2 so waiting or things to play out will not be painful. Also agree. More horsepower interests me but increased display resolution is not something I personally have a need for.

In! Always interested in different masterings.

^^This although I use my air a few times a week. Also I will not be an early adopter and will wait as I am currently very happy with the performance of the iPad2

My second beer at FFF the other night was Rune Priest, their Belgian Ale which used Sorachi Ace Hops. It was an excellent beer and the hop flavor was unique, in a good way. Sounds like this will be an interesting brew.

Hot tea with honey and lemon. And of course whisk(e)y! Get better.

Nice!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Nice!

Sorry Chris but your wife and son upstage the boat.

Or people who are smart enough to know their own limitations?

OK I just wasted some perfectly good alcohol.

Happy Birthday Wes! May all your DACses be happy.

Well you pretty much nailed it right there. In this case Jude is pretty much painting himself as clueless. His argument really has no logic to it. If instead he argued that the circuits of Spritzer's WES and the Woo WES might not be the same since they are not based upon a single schematic would at least be somewhat tenable. To argue that it is not a WES because it is not built by Woo. Yeah not so much. But in reality, I could give a shit.

Arrived home after a great time at FFF with Al, Bryan, Allison, John, Mike and Debbie. Thanks for nice parting gifts Al and Mike and the great breakfast Debbie.

I have a Wellborne labs PSU for my Squeezebox Touch. Have had it for longer than the Touch and it still works great.

Happy Birthday

We have had a lot of income fluctuation (mostly in a good way) so it has been relatively difficult to get things evened out. Our goal is to come out with zero dollars owed or overpaid.
