Now That’s An Interesting Approach To Research…
Just a bit of Monday silliness before diving back into the struggle.
How’s this for a protocol (in a study that shall remain nameless to protect the proofreading reputations of its authors) through which the researchers plan to test a new scheme for tissue classification:
Since the problem was rather small—larger data set are being prepared to be run at the supercomputing facilities provided by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications—we run the ten-fold cross-validation runs in a 3GHz dual core Pentium box with 2 GB of rum.
I’m not sure just how looped my computer could get on the mojitos to be made out of 2GB of Captain Morgan’s, nor do I hope to find out.
Depressingly serious stuff to resume shortly.

Not a native speaker of English? I would guess East Asian. Thus, a helluva a lot better than my 5-word, mispronounced vocabulary of Chinese…

Not East Asian. Spanish speakers. And I think this was just a typo. But a fun one.
