( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Oh, something I forgot to mention: I tried using a constant number of bits but varying the vector size/quantity to see how things scaled. In other words, I compared:

vec size# vectors
10,000 1
5,000 2
3,333 3
2,500 4
2,000 5
1,00010

I found more smaller vectors works better until the number of samples matches the number if bits in the smaller vector. Plotting the functions:

(1-exp(-x/1000))^10 (1-exp(-x/2000))^5 (1-exp(-x/2500))^4 (1-exp(-x/3333))^3 1-exp(-x/10000)

using a graphing calculator shows that's where the curves cross:

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
