Message:: [QUOTE="stevex6, post: 2316623, member: 44183"]Hi Doug ... yah sorry, no I don't have a clue how Rasiel collected his sample? => oh, and although I love the ERIC-II Rarity Scale because it is at least a single data-point, I totally admit that "statistics" is a biz where you need a "random" sampling and you need a large enough sample and then you need to ensure that the data sample fits, etc, etc ... so garbage-in, garbage-out is a possibility ... but again, at least it is another data point that I consider (David Sear's estimated values are another sweet reference, but again => merely another guy's single data-point) So again, if I'm considering a coin, then I have these two rarity estimates to help me make my poor decisions!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> => but yah, I'm the first dude to admit, that I usually merely surf old-sales and/or current available coins to determine which one is comin' home to Pa-Pa!! So no, I don't know how the ERIC-II sample was collected ... ummm, but I think one of us is kinda tight with the dude? (is it Gil-galad?) ... for some reason I recall him saying that he occasionally talks with Rasiel (the author of ERIC-II) ... but I could be wrong (sadly, it has happened) [/QUOTE]
