As you said, the other reader pointed out some issues related to

But obviously not well-known to YOU, as you had also made an
error in your statement of the Binomial which the other poster exposed.

What an expose!!

An expert is someone who can help with formulating a problem. If my
problem is not well-defined, as you seem so fond of saying, an expert
will point out where it needs to be changed.

That's what EVERYONE in the thread said of your description of your
problem. It was ill-defined and ill-described.

The couple of people who commented do not understand my problem. When
they do not, the best way is to respond with a specific question rather
than a blanket statement that the problem is ill-defined.

se16@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx had already pointed out your errors and
gave you hints about your multinomial, which you seemed to have
completely overlooked.

He suggests taking a different path which involves reframing my problem
... it is of no use to me.

Obviously you are not one. Do me a favor and stop hijacking this
thread. Of course I will not be responding to your comments.


No body is hijacking this or any other thread.

You are ... inspite of claims to the contrary. If you want to make a
concrete contribution, why not try reading my problem description and
respond with specific question(s) about what you do not understand.
Then I can clarify, elaborate....

The only thing worse
than someone who doesn't even know enough to ask a question is
one who is belligerent when others had already given him hints on
where he went wrong and one who insisted on his (3)

Nag> 3. I have no interest in looking at other other ways of solving

when Nag didn't even know which way to look in the first place, but
smart-donkey enough to insist of looking no other ways.

My objective is to find a the problem I described. I know of other ways
of approximating Poisson distributions but they are not of use.

Reef fish: I have no idea about you and your training. If you only
spend a fraction of the energy (you currently dissipate on irrelevant
issues) on the problem, you would contribute more.

You remind of a saying in my language. There are two versions. One
polite and the other not so polite.

1. You are trying to pluck feather from an egg.
2. You are fishing in a puddle of piss.

Feel free to choose one of your choice.

You correctly posted my reply to your previous post. I don't know and
I
don't care what your nationality is or what your language is.

The two lines are completely gratuitous given my response.

It's posters like you and Luis A. Afonso that not only polluted the
statistics discussions in sci.stat.math, but you also attracted the
undesirables in USENET, the known FORGERS (has a life time
record of dedicated forgery of me) to appear in this group with
his forgery. Nasty_nassau_grouper@xxxxxxxxx is the new
forged ID, a variation of Large_Nasty_Grouper@xxxxxxxxx,
which Google has in the archives all 11 of its forgeries, in 6
different newsgroups.

Again, if you are an expert, then come up with specific issues (yours,
not what others said) about my problem decsription and I will clarify.
