Hi,
a couple of minor items regarding the new draft:
-- MINUIT citation
PDG note on statistics refers to the following:
F. James and M. Roos, "MINUIT, Function Minimization and Error
Analysis", CERN D506 (Long Writeup). Available from CERN Program Library
Office, CERN-IT Division, CERN, CH-1211, Geneva 21, Switzerland.
But there also appears an old published paper (haven't read it):
F. James and M.Roos, "Minuit--a system for function minimization and
analysts of the parameter errars and correlations". Comput, Phys. Comm.
10 (1975), 343-367.
-- The plot in Fig. 2 appears to be mislabled (apologies if this is a known
issue). The filled contours are shifted to the right of the line contours.
So if the filled ones indeed correspond to the new better fits, then that
would indicate larger new value of Omega-M, not smaller one,
as written on p. 16. The picture on the web page (for "Line Number 1")
is consistent with the text.
-- A couple of minor text-related items, which could be overlooked by
a fast reader:
p. 17, right columb, bottom paragraph, "a line that shows treats". Seems
that either "shows" or "treats" is extraneous.
p. 29, left column, top paragraph, "it must instead by" probably intended
to be "it must instead be".
Cheers,
vitaliy
