off topic but need your pointers about statistics
Hi all, I apologize for this off-topic question but I need your help -- I know there are lots of experts here. As a lover and student of statistics, I am thinking of building a tree of various branches of statistics and keeping track of the greatest historical inventions/discoveries in statistics and the latest development of each branch. The goal is to understand in what context did the great

cdf function: inverse to quantile?
Is there a function in R for calculating empirical cumulative distribution functions, i.e. the inverse of the quantile function? Perhaps in some library? I''d hate to have to re-invent the wheel.

Dummy variables model
...ms. This is generally called a "fixed effects" model, although it seems like the term "fixed effects" is being used somewhat differently in the context of the nlme package. Toby -- ************************************************************************** When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to have failed so many times. He said "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process."

Re-inventing the Wheel (again?)
I''m new to puppet and working my way through the documentation. I''m struggling with the puppet labs module repo. I''ve toyed with numerous automation and configuration methodologies over the decades. Perhaps I''m seeing puppet wrong, Compared with CFEngine there is a a lot I like, but I''m not sure why I''m still having to re-invent the

Automating binning for chisq.test()
...stical test? (Yes, you can accuse me of laziness: I just don't fancy trying to figure out a routine that would make sure that there more than 5 samples in each of the expected bins before applying the chi-squared test. It seems too much like re-inventing an elementary wheel that must have been invented by someone else.)

Status of s3tc patent in respect to open-source drivers and workarounds
...rce-feed the raw bytes to hardware instead? Claim 22 seems like a pretty important step and possibly a hard one to workaround but it also appears to be claiming the invention of using a key lookup to fetch values with some vague notion of quantising them. Is it just me or are they claiming to have invented indexed color? PS. If some of the points above seem pedantic that's deliberate. My understanding is that patent claims are actually intended or required to be NARROW in scope as broad claims are usually rejected. That means a workaround that doesn't do PRECISELY the things in each claim ab...

DID in the U.S.
...DID number block", now I'm trying to get a PRI ISDN in the U.S. (CA) and SBC wants to charge more than 200 USD/month for numbers. I mean, this has nothing to do with DID, where everything that comes after the "base number" will be transmitted to the PBX anyway. Wasn't DID invented to get rid of number blocks? Please enlighten me. Thanks. Andi

Possible bug in handling of HTML comments
It appears that Markdown will process ampersands contained within HTML comments if that comment is part of a markdown paragraph, but will not when that paragraph is contained within an HTML block of it's own (and therefore ignored by Markdown.) For example: This is a markdown paragraph with a comment that *will* be processed <!-- This & *will* be converted -->

I have a couple of questions/comments: Actually, you're note is timely, because I'm planning to send out a patch (as soon as I update LangRef and rerun tests) that supports safelen but *not* lexical dependences.
