That's a good question.

It's a sad picture, you don't want to see it. I'll make a plot later and attach it. That said, as the forum gets more and more users, I'm hoping some of you guys will stick around after getting in (as time permits) and eventually there'll be a critical mass of users.

If you disable rich text editing in your user preferences on this site then you'll be to post. This is a known issue which I hope they will fix in the next release.

And yet you were!

Too bad people don't realise that the site closes down when my rating falls to 0 :-)

Ha. Too much free time :-)

Hmm. I'm not 100% sure this is on topic, but anyway. Are your points always going to be discrete like this, or are these samples from some continuous functions? In the latter case any norm between the functions will work. If you have a finite set of points and the first point from sample one (X_1,Y_1) is always to be compared with the first point from sample two (A_1,B_1), etc. why not just do a sum of squares \sum_{i=1}^n (X_i-A_i)^2 + (Y_i-B_i)^2 I don't think using a KL divergence is the right approach.

Unfortunately not. I have to run a special query against the database to get the info.

But holy cow, over 500 posts? I had to double check my post counting script! Bhikhaari over 400? You guys, February only has 28 days. That's at least 15 posts a day from each of you. Ok.. shock over. I think that record will stand for a long time. By the numbers In total there were 25,344 posts made this month (19,339 in February 2010).

I'm not sure what you mean by "How anonymous is thegradcafe". The only people who can see your email address are the administrators. Beyond that your anonymity is determined by how much information you post. If you don't want anyone to be able to deduce your real identity don't post at all. Otherwise there's always a small chance someone can recognize you, be it by your list of schools, research interest, or even your writing style and choice of words. Keep in mind whatever you post, it's here to stay! We don't remove posts. Have fun.

Can't win them all :-/

For shipping these guys are good (friends have used them between EU and USA): http://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/ For cell phones: without a credit history you'll have to pay a deposit (~350 bucks for AT&T and Verizon). This will be refunded after 1 or 2(?) years.

Cool it folks.

Thanks Victor. I'll take a look at this when I get some time and find a Windows machine to test things on.

I noticed that you guys broke it yesterday. Good job! Wednesdays seem to be the busiest days, so maybe another record tomorrow? Around this week and next seem to be historically the busiest weeks for admissions, so probably for the forum too. Good luck to all!

You can change your display name .. :-)

Oh this was yesterday. Already done!

Hi Guys, The forum and results board will be down sporadically between 6 and 7pm this evening. Sorry for the short notice.

Welcome. :-)
