For example, if you have a bunch of bernoulli variables (e.g. with success probability p = pi/10), all observations will be 0 or 1 (one significant digit), but the mean will usually lie close to .31415926..., and the extra digits *do* contain useful information on p. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
