Does such a word exist?
Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit (/r/Economics doesn't allow text posts and r/AskEconomics is barely active).
I'm looking for research done on probability distributions in the context of market share, specifically market share w.r.t. price (i.e. does it follow normal distribution, hyperbolic function, etc.). I couldn't find anything academic and specific enough on google.
Out of curiosity, I realised that you could find a linear regression of a set of points by taking the average of all the partial interpolations of the dataset. Here is the what I mean:
-
Let S = A, B, C, D, … be a set of points on R^2 .
-
Write down all the 2-subsets of S: {A,B}, {A,C}, … , {B,C}, {B,D}, ….
-
Now work out the equations y=mx + p of the lines (AB), (AC), … , (BC), (BD), … (this is what I mean by "partial interpolations").
-
Take the arithmetic mean of the equations: this is your regression.
Surprisingly it actually works OK on small datasets (example: graphed in orange vs. least squares fit in blue). I was wondering: has it been done
I knocked by big toe a while back, and a few weeks later it went all blue and started feeling loose. I wrapped some gauze around it to prevent it from suddenly ripping off (while putting socks on for example), and since the toenail has tightened and no longer feels wobbly (but it's still blue). Is there any chance that it will fuse back on to my toe or is it done for?

np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/391f2d...Today is Thursday which means it's time to settle in for our weekly "What stereotype needs to die?" AskReddit thread. As we know, every AskReddit thread is either:
-
tagged as serious, in which case the top answers are all triple-gilded, heart-wrenching, seven-paragraph walls of text explaining how hard it is working in IT or why Company X is the incarnation of everything that is wrong with capitalism
-
not tagged as serious, in which case each redditor tries to comes up with an original way of not answering the question in the funniest way possible
Here we are dealing with the latter, w
I heard about this but I can't remember the name of the author and I can't find it on google. The year was definitely pre-1933, possibly 1931 or 1932, and the letter supposedly contains an incredibly accurate prediction of the Holocaust: the rise to power of an extremist party in Germany, the industrialised mass slaughter, etc.
If you're using the Google launcher, you'll know that you can access your Google Now page by swiping up from the home button. Google Now is nice, but I don't use it enough to require having access to it from any screen (except for dat animation!). It turns out of that you can map this gesture to the action of your choice using Tasker, so I chose lock screen since it's convenient and reduces my lock button use by 50% (lock buttons failing is my #1 cause for replacing phones.

First download Secure Settings from the Play Store: it's a free plugin that will unlock a ton of new actions for Tasker (including "Lock device")
-
Now set Secure Settings as a device administrator in Settings > S
