Greetings all,
From the responses I've gotten, I suppose I've confused most
people, or left them in the dark :( I guess I thought the
subject would explain most things....
First, for those who've asked the question, I'm not storing
the 1TB or so of data personally, which is part of the reason
I need to know some ideas, etc. on what to post, if anything.
I'll need to request the specific data desired...
Second, the type of information I've received concerning the
statistical data I've received (and is contained in the data),
is of a statistical probability nature. For example(s):
M14,989,627 has a 93.42% probability of having a 53-bit factor.
M14,999,953 has a 9.31% probability of having a 53-bit factor.
M101 has a 89.17% probability of having 2 factors.
M101 has a 73.25% probability of having highly compositable factors.
M113 has a 92.36% probability of having 5 factors.
M113 has a 64.03% probability of having highly compositable factors.
There is a 81.62% probability of a Mersenne Prime between
M6,957,583 and M7,001,681
There is a 84.17% probability of a Mersenne Prime between
M6,923,117 and M7,005,181
There is a 93.01% probability of a Mersenne Prime between
M6,898,967 and M7,018,511
NOTE: These are just examples that I've come up with to give an
idea of the nature of the data (which I used previously known
information to create). I don't even know if the data is stored
in such a manner or is interpreted to this manner...
Since these are statistical probablilities, I can't even
guarantee the accuracy of the data. However, in a test run
that was made to validate the data (not by me, mind you),
approx. 436 exponents that had high probability to have a
53- or 54-bit factor was tested and 401 had a 53- or 54-bit
factor found! There's no telling how many exponents in the
range tested have a factor of this size which wasn't tested
due to a lower probability...
One last thing... The data is based on current information
as of 4-6 weeks ago, some of which may have changed. It
"predicts" information that isn't known as of that date, such as
# of factors in M727 and M751, range where M#39 and M#40 is,
etc. (which was why I had the subject I did).
If anybody has further questions or is still confused, let
me know and I'll try to clarify some more...
Again, the ideas, suggestions, comments, etc. I'm looking for
covers these areas and ???:
1) Should I post a *tiny* fragment of this information?
2) What information should I post, if I do?
3) Would it be beneficial to the overall effort?
4) Would it divert resources that could be used better otherwise?
5) Could it cause problems with regard to that "p" hunting term?
6) Anything else??
Eric
