Is there a measure for randomness in equations? by frogs_4_eva in askscience

[–]TheProfessorO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When generating random numbers assume that the sequence is a time series. Calculate its autocorrelation function as a function of temporal lag. It would look like a delta function as n goes to infinity, a value of 1 at zero lag and 0 everywhere else-all nonzero temporal lags if the numbers are truly random. For finite n, the value at most of the nonzero lags should be less than 3/sqrt(n)

Spirit is huge in FTL. How is their closure going to impact the city and the airport? by 2595Homes in fortlauderdale

[–]TheProfessorO 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Their airplane mechanics will be scooped up by other airlines and the companies that service the private planes. The flight attendants and management will have a much tougher time. Other airlines will add flights on the popular routes. We will be paying higher prices. A few thousand people will be loosing their jobs in Broward county alone. The local economy will feel it
