ESP test using randperm function
|
|
|
| Hi
i need matlab to do the following after performing the
randperm(10)>5 function:
- look at the first 4 of these numbers and count the number
of 1's and 0's
- then predict what whether the next will be a 1 or 0 and
keep doing so to the rest of the 6 numbers
- then count the number of 1's and 0's predicted.
any help will be appreciated!
thanks

It is surely not necessary to resort to "ESP" to account for a generally better
than 50 percent ability to predict results. For example, when only one result
remains to be looked at, its value is absolutely determined.

The original poster is not resorting to ESP "to account for a generally
better than 50 percent ability to predict results.". If you examine
the stated requirements again, you may note that the program is
only required to count the *number* of 1's and 0's predicted,
not the fraction of 1's and 0's *correctly* predicted. ;-)
