disembodied notes from Olaf

  • resampling to uniform or by rank
  • rule of thumb for data requirements is (3 to 5)*n^m time steps are standard for significance, where n is the number of bins per variable and m is the number of variables. This suggests that 1 2 and maybe maybe 3 variables are tractable and beyond that it gets ugly.
  • there is also some other heuristic about every possible bin having atleast 3 data points.
  • all heuristics should be given credit commensurate with their rigor.
