Vitoc evelopedia entry
« on: 10 Nov 2010, 07:34 »

Did anyone notice this?

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Vitoxin

CCP Dropbear added quite a bit of PF regarding Vitoc, Vitoc Cure and some of the events in the past related to it.

i may be mistaken, but never have seen so much info about it.

Well, one thing is certain - whoever wrote that article, used to be a raver.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Very nice. Especially as a lot of the information from the EM research document has now been made offcial lore (in fact a clear copy/paste).

I would love to do science articles for EVE except it goes against my interest to do completely "make up science"; there needs to be some in game action or feature that it ties with or it will feel too fake and unprofessional for my taste. I am after all more of a scientist than a fictional writer.

Doing real science in a virtual world where there are no natural variabilites a limited access to different populations is a bit tricky, though, I have had a few topics that I could study... if I ever get around to it.

this means things like the occurrence of space lesbians, as published on IGS, could become PF?

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Best thread ever.

Aye, except Anneka assumed a normal distribution in her data analysis instead of the correctly binomial distribution. Still, there were some interesting results to be found.

Maybe they know something that we don't. But any way it's good there so much info about it.

... Why don't you pick up the mantle and run somewhere with the initial results? :P

As any statistician knows, the Central Limit Theorem enables the transformation of a set of independent identically distributed random variables of any distribution type into a normal distribution via a simple formula.

Anneka's methods, while not entirely rigorous, can be refined and made valid.

I did. I wrote Sviw's reply to the thread.

I had to analyze and divide by ship class as otherwise the significant higher rate of space lesbians flying battleships than in the general population would have been blurred by the no difference in the populations of the other ship classes giving no statistical findings at all.
