I find a decimal
point error in my calculations... grrr, I hates that, ocean energy flows shows at 1 / 10th size.

Calculation to determine the necessary number of resident participants used estimations of knowledge from previous studies of pediatric residents, which suggested a baseline knowledge about breastfeeding of 60 percentage
points.8, 9,15 To detect an improvement
in knowledge score of 20 percentage
points with an estimated standard deviation of 20
points, a 2 - tailed α
error of 0.05 and a power of 0.80, sample size was calculated at a minimum of 16 resident participants.
In fact, the only
point I took issue with is the minor
calculation error that John the Baptist was six years older than Jesus, whereas Scripture states their mothers were pregnant at the same time.
1) As I
pointed out earlier, I made an
error in the
calculation of latent heat of fusion of 100cu.
Sorry to have to
point it out, but there are some basic
errors in your «back of envelope»
calculation.
Note that the individual
errors that you
point out are already included
in the
calculation of the standard
error of the average (usually called the SEM, the standard
error of the mean).
It's been
pointed out to me by email that there is an
error in the
calculations.
Benestad also noted a post from climate blogger Tim Lambert, who
pointed out an
error in the
calculation of area weighting (a mixup of radians and degrees) that almost doubled the portion of warming trend attributed by McKitrick to economic factors, despite McKitrick's claim that the correction «hardly changed the results» (hat tip to Frank O'Dwyer).
We need to be careful focussing upon «trends» — it can lead to serious
errors of context — and this underlies the entire «global warming» thesis which relies upon computer models with entirely false (i.e. non-natural) notions of an equilibrium starting
point and
calculations of trend — this conveniently ignores cycles, and it has to because a) there are several non-orbital cycles
in motion (8 - 10 yr, 11, 22, 60, 70, 80, 400 and 1000 - 1500) depending on ocean basic, hemisphere and global view — all interacting via «teleconnection» of those ocean basins, some clearly timed by solar cycles, some peaking together; b) because the cycles are not exact, you can not tell
in any one decade where you are
in the longer cycles.
then
point to the
error in it's
calculations that make it unsuitable for solving temperature without referring to the magic your now shamed, busted & confessed pseudo-science leadership told you is needed,
When the ark had serious dimension problems as a result and the neighbours had even more reason to laugh and
point, Noah checked the original source and discovered the
error in calculation to be several hundred square cubits, setting construction back by a decade or so, creating huge cost overruns and perhaps explaining why the unicorn didn't make the trip.
