Gpuccio: Functional Information Methodology

[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

Target space in both cases: 1

Search space in both cases: 2^100

FI in both cases: 100

@glipsnort, did I get it right?

@gpuccio thinks this is wrong because the wait times are different, and nothing else. Of course that is precisely the assumption we are testing with this example. 2^FI is not wait time.

Well, that’s my answer too, but I’d like to see @gpuccio’s answer.

Regarding the EVD, I am not convinced. However, if you think that such an analysis is better than the one performed by the binomial distribution, which seems to me the natural model for bynary outcomes of success and failure, why don’t you try to make some analysis of that type, and let’s see the results? I am ready to consider them.
