I always thought the curve was one sided Asha'man Warder Send a noteboard - 18/12/2009 01:17:32 PM
There should be more women of any lower power than of a higher power. I always envisioned a peak at no/minimal power, and progressively smaller percentage of woman as power increased. That would account for the vast majority who cannot channel at all.

The One Power Bell Curve: Proof that it is not centered on 50% of the strongest channeler's strength Shannow - 18/12/2009 08:37:55 AM 1645 Views

The Curve only refers to the channeling population, not to non-channelers. Shannow - 18/12/2009 01:56:25 PM 948 Views
I would say that your sample is flawed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/12/2009 05:02:02 PM 1043 Views
well said *NM* darius_sedai - 18/12/2009 05:12:40 PM 493 Views
It doesn't matter... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:02:38 PM 883 Views
But, it sort of does. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/12/2009 10:43:08 PM 954 Views
So you're saying that no modern Aes Sedai are even of average strength? Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:51:01 PM 1086 Views
Are you sure it's the same bell curve from the AoL? BlackAdder - 18/12/2009 11:11:19 PM 1012 Views
The Tower is restricted to the middle... fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 05:35:03 PM 1102 Views
Two things... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:28:25 PM 964 Views
The culling theory... Phelix - 18/12/2009 09:36:34 PM 893 Views
The culling theory applies to the ENTIRE population, not just Aes Sedai... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:42:31 PM 1017 Views
Yes, but Aes Sedai take it to a new level... Phelix - 18/12/2009 09:48:59 PM 1107 Views
Re: Yes, but Aes Sedai take it to a new level... Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 10:06:15 PM 877 Views
Several more things... fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:26:19 PM 1048 Views
You don't understand your own model... Shannow - 18/12/2009 11:38:05 PM 1068 Views
So RJ was wrong about Bell Curve distribution? darius_sedai - 19/12/2009 06:03:24 PM 935 Views
Re: So RJ was wrong about Bell Curve distribution? Sidious - 19/12/2009 06:10:52 PM 930 Views
Its simple really... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2009 06:15:23 PM 972 Views
So, Aviendha trumps RJ? A woman who, as late as tGS, doesn't know what she's doing with the OP? fionwe1987 - 19/12/2009 06:12:42 PM 916 Views
Age-Related Sample Bias Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 06:41:03 PM 905 Views
I have no problem with that...but it implies that the average woman today isn't at 50% of Lanfear... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:46:00 PM 1024 Views
Partially agreed... Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 10:13:46 PM 913 Views
Well, the Aes Sedai are the only group that we have detailed strength info about... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:26:48 PM 1060 Views
Sharina is AS ... she'd be dead in a few years if she hadn't gone to the Tower *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 01:08:20 AM 947 Views
A thought that occured to me, and I'd like your opinion... Phelix - 18/12/2009 07:38:29 PM 899 Views
Well Sharina isn't a sparker and she's the strongest AS darius_sedai - 18/12/2009 07:57:17 PM 914 Views
Yes... Phelix - 18/12/2009 08:01:57 PM 1014 Views
Is it just my bad memory or is one of the wondergirls not a sparker? Gher - 18/12/2009 10:12:59 PM 891 Views
I think it's just a bad memory... Phelix - 18/12/2009 10:19:25 PM 890 Views
Easier sulution, and real example. amirebram - 18/12/2009 10:03:20 PM 974 Views

Re: And that is indeed the solution I feel most comfortable with... Sidious - 19/12/2009 11:39:31 AM 1162 Views
Agree, but a little more curvy is better amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:17:16 PM 856 Views
*facepalm* BlackAdder - 18/12/2009 10:13:16 PM 928 Views
That's just the normalized value graphed on a log scale. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:20:41 PM 896 Views
Dude, Seriously? Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 10:19:25 PM 909 Views
Indeed, and that's why I propose that... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:31:23 PM 958 Views
So RJ used two separate scales, one actual one relative, to explain the same thing? fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:33:20 PM 915 Views
Yes, "Bell Curve" does not mean Gausian. Or normal distribution. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:24:10 PM 907 Views
I'm sorry, but I've never heard of a non-Gaussian bell curve. Can you prove its existence? *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/12/2009 03:24:22 AM 501 Views
Maybe people in my field just use the term in a non-technical way. We do things with ... amirebram - 21/12/2009 07:24:43 PM 867 Views
It does to RJ Shadowkiller - 20/12/2009 03:12:30 PM 988 Views
Yes, "Bell Curve" does not mean Gausian. Or normal distribution. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:24:11 PM 881 Views
That's because outliers in IQ tests are excluded form the curve. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:31:23 PM 512 Views
Really?!?! then what is the definition of a IQ of 200? amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:28:18 PM 1202 Views
You can have IQ's above that... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2009 05:09:44 AM 931 Views
I said that in the other post and was half torn to pieces *NM* Sidious - 19/12/2009 11:38:25 AM 458 Views
Eh. Ignore the IQ value and draw it on a linear weight scale amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:26:23 PM 887 Views

Mathmatically this is very close to the system I proposed in another thread darius_sedai - 27/12/2009 01:23:51 AM 855 Views
