And without getting two bogged down in statistics, when one runs multiple tests, the p-values have to be adjusted to account for this. (think of the idea that one asserts he can correctly predict heads or tails in a coin flip 10 times in a row. If one runs this test enough times, eventually in one of the tests, the subject will be able to predict heads/tails 10 times in a row. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98374 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
