jstackpo Posted October 5, 2011 at 03:58 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 03:58 PM If you reference (or remember) an RONR/10 page number and you want the RONR/11 equivalent, this little formula will find it for you, to within a page or two (nobody's perfect!):Get your little calculator out and...Multiply the RONR/10 page by 1.03Add 0.46And there you are!For the mathematically/statistically inclined, this formula is a linear regression of the slope / intercept form based on the corresponding first pages of each chapter in the books, plus the last pages -- 21 data pairs.Slope (dy/dx) = 1.03322y intercept = 0.46013y = 0.46 + 1.03 * xx = RONR/10 page; y = RONR/11 pageAs noted this works to within a page or two of the correct RONR/11 page.

jstackpo Posted October 5, 2011 at 06:08 PM Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 06:08 PM Don't know - the little on-line regression calculator didn't kick that out.Very close to 1.00 I have to say judging from a /10 vs /11 page plot I did.

Chris Harrison Posted October 5, 2011 at 06:11 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 06:11 PM It would be interesting to test that out on a bunch of pages but I know that the section on absentee voting is outside of the norm since the 11th covers it 15 pages later than the 10th.

Trina Posted October 5, 2011 at 06:41 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 06:41 PM I find that leafing around in the vicinity of where the stuff should be (i.e. used to be in the 10th edition), but just increasing the page offset as I find myself further back in the book works pretty well too. A much less carefully analyzed approach, I concede.Interesting post.Although, I do find myself wondering what the typical visitor to the forum will make of this whole thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GcT Posted October 6, 2011 at 07:54 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 at 07:54 PM But Trina and Chris, that's just what John said. If I do understand what he said, it's add three percent plus a half-page. Chris, if the Eleventh places the discussion of absentee voting in the same order, that's p. 408: so add 12 pages (three percent of 400), which, as small board members know, is about a dozen, and close to 15. And Dr Stackpole merely quantifies what Trina unsurprisingly, instinctively applied with characterisitic heuristic intuitive brilliance*.And I'm appalled to know this -- I was appalled and astonished to see it in the previous version of the website -- but the typical visitor to this forum is ... us. Knowing the millions of copies of Robert's Rules ("inclusive," per p. vi in RONR 10th -- must be about p. vi.06 + .46 in RONR 11th) out there, plus the decades' worth of knockoffs, I had for years imagined the passive readership to routinely be in the hundreds._________* Weekly suck-up quota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
