| Aug 13, 2012 at 5:26 | comment | added | Ellie K | ... But that is a REALLY COOL PATENT circa 1998! I enjoyed reading it. Probability distribution is Bernoulli, no? Not inscrutable, don't be so self-deprecating! Michael Segal was granted three other patents- the patient data privacy idea was nice too. If Michael M Segal ~> rsegal, where ~> = progeny or other relation, forward my complements, please? I spent the past four hours reading his patents! | |
| Aug 13, 2012 at 5:23 | comment | added | Ellie K | @rsegal This is a novel but not particularly useful answer for an EL&U question, I think. I didn't down vote, because it makes me happy to see alternatives to the Google Ngram viewer used for this sort of thing! However, the corpus for which these probabilities would be applicable is limited to communications and literature specific to medical caregivers, probably licensed M.D.'s or equivalent. That's why I don't think it is that helpful, as it is such a localized (narrowly scoped) answer. | |

| Aug 9, 2012 at 6:18 | comment | added | James Waldby - jwpat7 | I find what you say interesting, albeit not useful to me, as it is difficult to find information like sources of data or fundamental principles or reasoned conclusions within the 16 pages of the referenced patent. Also, "compound adjectives unpack backwards" is close to being empty buzzwords. | |
