Are there spreadsheets that allow me to add constraints like "those series must add up to 100 and if they do not, fix the latest unmodified cell value"

@MatthewGunn That what makes me puzzling: you visit A first (in 2/3 of cases). This must make it less likely to be the last visited. BUT IT IS NOT!
Nov 6, 2016 12:22
@MatthewGunn I do not analyze "getting next to". I am comparing the probabilities of getting into: getting into A vs. getting into B. As you say, if we run into A sooner then we reduce its chances to be the last visited. Yet, we see that the chances are not reduced. That puzzles me. But, I think that it is less paradoxical after your explanation. You basically say that it is irrelevant if we visit A first or after B in average.
Nov 6, 2016 12:22
You say that my situation was discussed earlier here. But, that analysis does shifts focus away from the paradox I address. Thanks for pointing out that I have no code bugs. Now, it is time to realize that I do not have any false assumptions either. My code confirms all the assumptions and theoretical results and confirms the intuitive paradox I had. Just think about it: you hit A, the the left and right elements of the table sooner than reach B, the center of the table. However, getting later to A is as likely as later B. How is it possible? Why do not you see neither my question nor paradox?

@ssdecontrol Why don't you ask the same question to the "falling into confidence interval probability is 1 or 0" in the first place? My logic is copy-pasted from theirs. Why do you ask me when I challenge it? Ok, you perished my defense, I give up. My logic worth nothing. Does it mean that you defended the remark about confidence intervals succesfully? Is it right that it is wrong to say that mean falls into the interval with probability?
Nov 2, 2016 16:33
I will then probably add an answer to my question. Yes, I already have a question about it.
Nov 2, 2016 16:30
There is a million answers on that subject and they all refuse to address what I complain about here. So, it is just polemic. I am not going to ask one more question to be redirect to one of the available answers that just re-iterate the "truth" about the coin flipping that I complain about here instead of explaining it. So explain just here.
Nov 2, 2016 12:18
So, the same is with the coin. It is antiscientific to say that fair coin has outcomes 50/50. Probabilities are either 1 or 0. Speaking in probabilisic terms you demonstrate your illiteracy.
Nov 2, 2016 12:16
Quote: The calculated interval has fixed endpoints, where μ might be in between (or not). Thus this event has probability either 0 or 1. One cannot say: "with probability (1 − α) the parameter μ lies in the confidence interval, therefore."
Nov 2, 2016 12:15
This sounds silly logic. But, how can you say the same about confidence intervals?
Nov 2, 2016 12:15
A fair coin flipped and, despite we do not know the outcome, we cannot say that it is 50/50 beacuse it is either heads or tails, for sure.

Is there anything I need to understand to build such relationships myself?
Oct 15, 2016 08:20
How do you build mean relationships, like here? As I understand, the logic is "structure is distrubuted like X, we are looking for its mean. If experiment fails with P=q, the average size is incremented by 1. Alternatively, with P=p, (average) structure size is incremented by 1+E(X), so E(X) = q * 1+ p (1 + E(X)). It seems to give right answers but not quite intuitive to me.

Not, it is ([],whatever[1]), ([],whatever[2]), ... = whatever[1], whatever[2], ...
Oct 26, 2016 10:15
But, anyway, cartesian([], whatever) = [].
Oct 26, 2016 09:31
Now, it is a matter of flattening it.
Oct 26, 2016 09:30
After first iteration, you get ((), a), ((), b) and ((), c). After second, (((), a), a), (((), a), b), (((), a), c), (((), b), a), and so on.
Oct 26, 2016 09:26
Wait, I feel I am getting it.
Oct 26, 2016 09:09
That is, my cartesian power looks like `(list, pow) =>
range(pow).reduce((acc, _) => cartesian(list, acc).flatten(), [])`. But calling it with (abc, 2) gives me empty array since, I believe, it cannot kick off from 0 dimension -- cartesian(empty, whatever) == empty. How do you work it around?
Oct 26, 2016 09:00
How do you program this theoretically?
Oct 26, 2016 09:00
Theoretically, I map every exsting strings of lenth-1 with abc, I am getting 3 more strings in response. The theoretical problem I see here is that when I try to map an empty, zero-dim strings, I get 0 in response because 0 multiplied by whatever is 0.
Oct 26, 2016 08:58
I wonder, how do you make a cartesian power of a list, e.g 'abc'? I tried to start from a dot, which is an empty list. I then should get one-dimensional strings a,b,c when multiply it with possible values. Then, taking second power, I should get strings of len 2: aa, ab, ac, ba, bb, bc, ca, cb, cc and so on.

How can we resist the russian propaganda. You see how dirty tricks they resort to display to their population that US leadership statements are not different from the worst dictators of XX century and this is done with the help of US (leftist) citizens!
Oct 14, 2016 18:14
This is also related to may alAssad question. Why should we listen US to remove alawites from power in Syria as US and salafite terrorists want that, disregarding elections?
Oct 14, 2016 18:11
I want to ask a question. If democracy is the best form then why should US rule the world? Who elected them?
Oct 14, 2016 17:31
Yes, the same class of capitalists organized Golodomor in the US. Here we have a number important conclusions: nowhere it is Stalin's responsiblity.2 It is capitalist class responsibility 3. The golodomor is a myth. Next, we can draw one more conclusion: you is a scum propagandist.

@DVK-in-exile The famine in Russia 1932 was caused by sabotage of the individualist class, who slaughered their animals and seeds not willing to convey them to the newly formed collective farms. The same famine has also happened in Romania and US. Is it guilt of the Stalin as well?
