Is ANOVA valid for binomial data?  I have 7 binomial groups and I want to test whether the distributions of all of the groups are equal or whether the distribution of the first group is significantly different than the distribution of groups 2-7.  What tests would accomplish this? I was thinking of just combining groups 2-7 and then performing a chi-square test on group 1 vs groups 2-7. Is this valid?  Thank you!
I have four competing models which I use to predict a binary outcome variable (say, employment status after graduating, 1 = employed, 0 = not-employed) for n subjects. A natural metric of model performance is hit rate which is the percentage of correct predictions for each one of the models.   It seems to me that I cannot use ANOVA in this setting as the data violates the assumptions underlying ANOVA. Is there an equivalent procedure I could use instead of ANOVA in the above setting to test for the hypothesis that all four models are equally effective?

Any help pointers? I have a couple of big text files and in the file UNIQS.txt I have a list of strings to grep from another file. The code I use is  grep -f UNIQS.txt EEP_VSL.uniqs.sam &gt; UNIQ_templates.sam   which does nothing - the file generated is empty. But when I do  grep -F -f UNIQS.txt EEP_VSL.uniqs.sam &gt; UNIQ_templates.sam   it works correctly. This confuses me because I didn't think grep would interpret the entries in UNIQS.txt as regexp patterns without quotes and slashes and so on being in the file (which there aren't). Is it the case in general that if you are getting the patterns from a file then it will automatically think that they are regexp patterns?  Edit: In the UNIQS.txt file, there are newline separated strings of the form  HWI-ST365:215:D0GH0ACXX:2:1101:10034:186783   (called template names) and the file EEP_VSL... tab separated columns, with about 14 columns and the first column is the template name, so basically I want to extract the line corresponding to each template in the file.

Suppose we have two events $(x_1,y_1,z_1,t_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2,z_2,t_2)$. Then we can define $$\Delta s^2 = -(c\Delta t)^2 + \Delta x^2 + \Delta y^2 + \Delta z^2,$$ which is called the spacetime interval. The first event occurs at the point with coordinates $(x_1,y_1,z_1)$ and the second at the point with coordinates $(x_2,y_2,z_2)$ which implies that the quantity $$r^2 = \Delta x^2+\Delta y^2+\Delta z^2$$ is the square of the separation between the points where the events occur. In that case the spacetime interval becomes $\Delta s^2 = r^2 - c^2\Delta t^2$. The first event occurs at time $t_1$ and the second at time $t_2$ so that $c\Delta t$ is the distance light travels on that interval of time. In that case, $\Delta s^2$ seems to be comparing the distance light travels between the occurrence of the events with their spatial separation. We now have the following definitions:  If $\Delta s^2 &lt;0$, then $r^2 &lt; c^2\Delta t^2$ and the spatial separation is less than the distance light travels and the interval is called timelike.  If $\Delta s^2 = 0$, then $r^2 = c^2\Delta t^2$ and the spatial separation is equal to the distance light travels and the interval is called lightlike.  If $\Delta s^2 &gt;0$, then $r^2 &gt; c^2\Delta t^2$ and the spatial separation is greater than the distance light travels and the interval is called spacelike.   These are just mathematical definitions. What, however, is the physical intuition behind them? What does an interval being timelike, lightlike or spacelike mean? How to properly play .mkv files? I am having a problem while playing .mkv files. Every time I play a .mkv file, the audio can be heard but video cannot be seen. The only way to see the video if I actually right click on it or put a window in front of it and it displays one part of the video but not all.    The link of the picture above basically describes what I am saying. While I was trying to take the screenshot, the window for the screenshot disappeared and displayed part of the video. I hope someone could help me on this. Thank you!   EDIT: I was running Unity 2D when I have the problem but when I run Unity 3D, it works. So I need to make this work on 2D. Please help. 3.8 GPA, but 3 Fs and 1 D on transcript Where to start looking up if there's something wrong with cck field variables? in short: Something in my zen-based custom theme is keeping a couple of cck fields from being display on my page. Basically my question is where to get access to the variables that are supposed to contain the html for the cck fields (which are missing when I was looking them in firebug). Below I explain why I think it's looking up the variables that might bring me closer to a solution  So I made this custom node type (events) with cck fields added. Also made some content using those fields. Added some css and it all displayed fine. Later the taxonomy terms below the title and some metadata bugged me so I followed along with a 'theming cookbook' pdf book that taught me how to make a node-events.tpl.php and simply deleted php variables like $terms. This worked great.     Obviously this also means that all this time, the view permissions of those fields have been checked and also that the display options under 'display fields' have been set to standard all the time. I also ruled out that the issue could be anything else than theme related as my cck fields do show up in a stock Drupal theme. The theme for my site is a zen-based custom theme.   So then even later, after I made a view for this node type and started adding css to that view I noticed at some point that my image field and two other fields are missing. It's hard to tell if they disappeared because of things that I did when creating the view and adding css (which would surprise me) Is Autopilot Openstack 16.04 available?

AES Mix Column Transformation Section 3.4.3 "The MixColumns Step"(page 39) of , it states     The columns of the state are considered as polynomials over   $\operatorname{GF}(2^8)$ and multiplied modulo $x^4 + 1$ with a fixed polynomial $c(x)$.      The polynomial $c(x)$ is given by   $c(x) = \mathtt{03} \cdot x^3 + \mathtt{01} \cdot x^2 + \mathtt{01} \cdot x + \mathtt{02}$      Let $b(x) \equiv c(x) \cdot a(x) \pmod{x^4 + 1}$.

How can I get bash to perform tab-completion for my aliases? I have a bunch of bash completion scripts set up (mostly using bash-it and some manually setup).    I also have a bunch of aliases setup for common tasks like gco for git checkout. Right now I can type git checkout dTab and develop is completed for me but when I type gco dTab it does not complete.    I'm assuming this is because the completion script is completing on git and it fails to see gco.    Is there a way to generically/programmatically get all of my completion scripts to work with my aliases?  Not being able to complete when using the alias kind of defeats the purpose of the alias.

I don't seem to be able to find any documentation on this. If there isn't, how can I achieve the same effect?  To make my question more specific, I am writing an application that deals with data and the specification say that there should be a 'reset' button that brings the application back to its original just launched state. However, all data have to be 'live' unless the application is closed or reset button is pressed.  Being usually a C/C++ programmer, I thought this would be trivial to implement. (And hence I planned to implement it last.) I structured my program such that all the 'reset-able' objects would be in the same class so that I can just destroy all 'live' objects when a reset button is pressed.  I was thinking if all I did was just to dereference the data and wait for the garbage collector to collect them, wouldn't there be a memory leak if my user repeatedly entered data and pressed the reset button? I was also thinking since Java is quite mature as a language, there should be a way to prevent this from happening or gracefully tackle this.
