Price is noisy. The goal is to find a way to significantly reduce noise without introducing much lag. Hence the interest in adaptive moving averages, several of which unquestionably outperform conventional MAs in the smoothness versus lag trade-off. No serious trader is going for zero lag...

OK, their comparison table doesn't make sense: Comparison table Speed Accuracy Smoothness ------------------- ------- ---------- -------------- Prec Lagless avg 96 98 96 Hull average 95 79...

Great post. The name is misleading, it clearly isn't "lagless" but it is low-lag compared to conventional MAs. I like the guarantee of zero overshoot, a quality I consider to be very important myself.

The main value of any moving average, especially adaptive moving averages as a class, is to act as lowpass filters, i.e., to separate high-frequency components of a time series from the low-frequency components. If you are a trend trader, you want to remove the high-frequency components and...

The only good thing about Rick Santorum is that he has a chance of stealing Michigan from Romney, which would just power up the spotlight on Mittens' shortcomings. "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." What a douchebag.

Those types of shows are the worst type of TV imo. They pretend to be reality TV and they constantly produce no results and never come to any conclusions. That tripe show "Ghost Hunters" has over 150 episodes on the SyFy channel and has yet to produce a speck of hard evidence of any spectral...

Isaac Asimov wrote about multiple universes in his novel The Gods Themselves in a far more entertaining and enlightening fashion than anything you'll find in the Old Testament.

This is why many of the Founding Fathers were Deists, not theists. But I wouldn't expect a chucklehead like Lowcunt to get that.

Given a choice between nigh-infinite universes and your even more ridiculous "god did it" theory, that's an easy call.

Not quite true. The Second Law says that the net entropy of a closed system will never decrease; that's not exactly the same as saying that it will always increase. Time stoppage is possible -- theoretically.

I don't think I'll be giving a pass to the pathological liars of 2010 who ran on "Jobs, jobs, jobs" then when they gained power they immediately went about trying to invade women's vaginas and instituting other theocratic bullshit (which they never mentioned in their campaign speeches) and went...

FAIL You obviously have reading comprehension problems. Try again.

Well, yes. They decided (and several even said as much out loud) that the GOP #1 goal was making Obama a failure. This of course meant making America fail because you can't make the President fail at all costs without hurting America. This is why I regard the GOP as the greatest threat to...

FortuneTeller: "I think most people on Welfare sell drugs anyway" jficquette: "majority can't pass it" Did you wingnut goobers even read the article in the OP? "Driving the measures is a perception that people on public assistance are misusing the funds and that cutting off their...

I'm especially amused by the fairytales of "no drugs, violent crime was non-existant" in the 1950s. These mouthbreathing klanboys are utterly delusional. For one thing, the Mafia had free reign during the 50s because J. Edgar Hoover decided that the FBI was better utilized chasing imaginary...

jem, you are SUCH an amusing little ignoramus. Too bad you can't market that talent on the Comedy Central channel. :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-tuned_universe "The existence and extent of fine-tuning in the Universe is a matter of dispute in the scientific community."

So give me your definition and let's see if we agree.

Like Brass said, this is sophistry. Give an example where science has ignored relevant evidence because of some "value" judgement. Not some individual scientist who made bad choices based on some personal flaw, but the scientific community as a whole.

Science is evidence-based. Faith, by definition, is belief without evidence. So science is emphatically not based on faith.
