On Friday, the latest consumer sentiment numbers from the University of
Michigan released Friday showed that in March confidence rose again, as the
index of consumer sentiment rose to 97.6 from a final reading of 96.3 in
February.
Though just below readings seen in January and February, March’s
preliminary reading indicates consumers haven’t been this consistently
confident since early 2004.

这个问题挺难，用公式算了一下，测740万次如果只出现一次误码，则confidence为99.
5%
但是，如果这740万中出现两次误码，则再测下去，到940万只有这两次误码，
confidence还是99.5%,
那么，如果940万次出现三次，再测到1100万次多还是三次，confidence还是大约99.5%,
为了达到误码率以下，则任何次数的测试有个最大误码次数。
那么，这个问题的答案有两个数，即实验次数和误码次数，我到底要测几次才能判断出

要算期望吗？

The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of consumer

发帖数: 77 | 17 大致作法应该是这样的
1. 你有一列数据点(y0, x0), 这里x应理解为N维矢量
你的模型是 y = f(x, c), c 是一列模型参数
在你建模型时, 你是要定出这一列参数 c, 同时你还应该得到对应的 Covariance
Matrix
通常的软件都提供这些信息
2. 有了Covariance Matrix后, 你可以生成很多列参数 c,
下面实际是作一些 Monte Carlo 模拟,
对应每一个数据点, 你都有很多 prediction - 因为每列c 给一个prediction
因此, 如果你有 D 个数据点的话,
你得到 D by D 的一个Covariance Matrix M -别和前面的Covariance Matrix混淆
3. 现在你可以算出来 Chi-Square
SUM( (y0 - y) M^-1 (y0 - y) )
