hi Fidelis --

talking of EDDC, I'm running into a bit of wierdness with the equation
published in http://osbf-lua.luaforge.net/papers/osbf-eddc.pdf --
specifically the final CF(F) equation on page 5. Using the K1, K2 and K3
values suggested, I cannot reproduce the values in the graph below it.

According to the graph, what I should see are values like this:

    Dfs    Dfh    CF
    100    100    0
    0      100    1
    100    0      1

what I actually get are:

    Dfs    Dfh    CF
    100    100    1.19134681363401e-07
    0      100    0.124843632959153
    100    0      0.124843632959153

Here's the (perl) code I used to implement this:

  my $Dfs = 100;
  my $Dfh = 0;
  my $weight = 3125;   # demo, assume a strong token
  my $K1 = 0.25;
  my $K2 = 10;
  my $K3 = 8;

  my $NDfs = $Dfs;  # assume Dfs/Dfh are normalized for demo purposes
  my $NDfh = $Dfh;
  my $Sumf = $Dfs + $Dfh; die "assert: Sumf == 0" unless $Sumf;
  my $NDeltaf = $NDfs - $NDfh;
  my $NSumf = $NDfs + $NDfh;
  my $WdotSumf = $weight * $Sumf;

  # the CF(F) equation
  my $CF = (((($NDeltaf ** 2) + ($NDfs * $NDfh) - ($K1 / $Sumf))
              / ($NSumf ** 2)) ** $K2)
            * ($WdotSumf
              / (1.0 + $K3 * $WdotSumf));

  print "s=$Dfs h=$Dfh w=$weight cf=$CF\n";


(sorry about the perl, but hopefully it's readable enough.)

I've run through this logic on paper, against the equations, and I can't
spot an error -- the equation really seems to produce incorrect output.
Could you take a look?   Am I missing something?
