It has been a couple of days, and I do not see any replies. I could not figure out what this was describing, in terms of relating it to anything interesting in the real world; perhaps that oddness is why there have been no replies. Four letters-groups are named, along with 3 number-groups that mostly match the letters, except that both B and C are put into #2. Then the counts of the number-groups are multiplied by 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Why? Generically, this *might* be called "scoring." If there was a reason for it, then their might be a particular name, but that is not something I see yet. If this was a "simplification" of the real problem, perhaps the more complex version is needed. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
