wald

So much more painful to learn from than Wald or other mathematically modern treatments of GR.

Abraham Wald suggested putting armour plate over places where no bullet hole had ever been observed, because those were the vulnerable spots.

This is a common failure I see with using a Wald interval for the slope of the regression line.

I meant that it's good to know Wald is mathematically modern and not encrusted with coordinates.

So mister red wald start up the joke contest and have plenty of playing the part of the green herring or is it purple herring - fuscia maybe?

I'm sure the Wald approximation fares worse.

Around 1950 I received a letter from Abraham Wald enclosing the final galley proofs of a paper of his about to go to press in the Annals of Mathematical Statistics.

In a ray tracing tutorial Jacco Bikker wrote that Wald is reporting speeds of several frames per second for scenes consisting of thousands of polygons at a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, on a single 2.5Ghz laptop.

The data showed that there were similar patches on each returning bomber where there was no damage from enemy fire, leading Wald to conclude that these patches were the weak spots that led to the loss of a plane if hit, and that must be reinforced.

> "[A guy in charge]..." That should read, "One of the most influential mathematical statisticians in history..." He also invented the "Wald test".

The paper says: "the Wald criterion demonstrated that only age made a significant contribution to predicting if men were in modern marriages, with younger men more likely to marry working women." In figure 2, they mention men in modern marriages, had positive reception to women in the workforce.

The paper probably goes into it (linked in the sibling), and it also looks like it cites Wald.

Desired * You want your data endeavors to exceed Abraham Wald's statistical insights during World War II.

In fact, the mathematical work was done by Abraham Wald¹, a Jewish refugee from Romania, at Columbia University in 1943.
