• Set up a weblog for weekly entries.

    • Thrash a little, unsuccessfully, doing it from scratch.
    • Make the learn-generating-functions blog a template, then clone and customize it.
    • Add keys to ChromebookPlus .ssh/ to permit posting from it.
  • First read of Mosteller and Rourke on confidence intervals for medians, and their ilk.

  • Explore using GitHub copilot to decompose lists into streaks and kv_streaks

    Keys for kv_streaks are first elements of the streaks, values are the lengths of the streak starting with that element.)

    • generate random ndarrays of range(n)
    • generate all permutations of range(n)
    • decompose each of these into streaks and kv_streaks
    • look at first_steak, and at streak_count_by_start
    • write unit tests
    • streak_count_by_start(n), which shows how many streaks for permutations of {1..n} start with the integer k, is n!/k
    • total_streak_length_by_start(n), which shows the total length of all streaks, over all permutations of {1..n}, that start with the integer k. This is (n+1)!/(k+1)*k
    • discover that # of streaks, length j, that start with k = number of streaks, length k, that start with j!

    These use sympy.S.EulerGamma, itertools.permutations, and numpy.random.permutations.
