You seem to be assuming that a) all iterations will have the same probability of rounding error, and that b) the probabilities are independent. I'm not sure if I want to accept any of those off-hand, especially as the end result doesn't go well with real-life data. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
