RS, in all gathering of data, whether it is for horses, humans, rats, or grapefruit. You have base figures at end that form/draw the conclusions of that data.

How do you think studies are concluded in medicine?

By clinical trial on X number of patients. The number of ( )instances( ) are drawn among the patients participating in the trial. That number is listed in summary at the conclusion of said trial, regardless, whether it goes on for 6 weeks, 6 months, or 6 years.

An example of this would be . . . let's say, the clinical trial of VIAGRA. Now, all of the men in the study of this remarkable, life altering medication are listed in the trial.

X overall patients with ED participating in clinical trial

X patients given the drug--X given a placebo (dudes robbed, still)

X patients with no side effects (living large)

X patients with heart attacks

X patients suffering vision problems, ie, blindness

X poor dudes showing up at the ER with their 4 hour or more dilemma, lost regarding how to fix THAT.


***That's why a summary has details, it's all worthwhile. And I do hope those reading have a sense of humor--life would be dull without one.

Man, deliver me. Add it in.

Not a thing nuts about me. I swear I've seen two people on this board with a sense of humor. Pillow Pants and GCK, or whatever those initials were. You guys need to laugh now and then. geez.

I'm still trying to figure out if you're joking with all of the requests, like just to see how far Randall would go. Just to see how many things he would incorporate in.

Which in itself would be cruel and entertaining, so I hope that's not what you're doing

I don't jack people around, Brian. Like,--that's ugly. Though, if I did, it sure would have, not one thing to do with a horseracing wagering study.

So, if RS likes, knock yourself out bud, sift through pages and pages for a tally of races, at end. Anything with definition and purpose has background and base. That's served me well in business, thus far.

There's nothing funny about statistics.

Let me explain, the comment came upon the heels of my discussion regarding gathering data, clinical trials and Viagra.

No more humor, I understand now, forgive my stab.

I was just kidding...

I am enjoying your contest and look forward to seeing how it shakes out.

Good to go, Pmac. I can handle kidding. It's unkindness that rips me.
