You may choose to not use it, however, removal from an existing specification is a difficult process. This is why the BIRD process needs to be thorough and complete.regards, Scott Walter Katz wrote: All,I announced removal of things like Gaussian and Table for the exact reasons that Danil stated. I did this *many many* moons ago. *Why did no one object at that time?* All decisions that have been made can always be reviewed, but we also need to be practical about it.Walter Walter Katz 303.449-2308 Mobile 720.333-1107 wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx> www.sisoft.com <http://www.sisoft.com>-----Original Message-----*From:* ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]*On Behalf Of *Danil Kirsanov*Sent:* Tuesday, March 16, 2010 12:54 PM *To:* ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Subject:* [ibis-macro] Re: question about Gaussian parameter Radek,I believe that since "gausian" keyword was not very clearly defined in the specs, and no developers so far have used it in their AMI files (correct me if I am wrong), the best solution is to remove it from the specs for now. The simpler the spec is, the easier it is for everybody to support it.Best, Danil*From:* ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *radek_biernacki@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:radek_biernacki@xxxxxxxxxxx>*Sent:* Tuesday, March 16, 2010 12:47 PM *To:* ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Subject:* [ibis-macro] Re: question about Gaussian parameterWalter,I do not think we can "remove" Gaussian from the specification. It is already there.As a matter of fact we should try to clarify issues like this one, wherever there is a possibility for misinterpretation.For Fangyi's question I think the logically correct answer should be the second one:(PDF 0.0 0.01)It follows the concept of (/leaf_name value/) where "value" in this case consists of two numbers.Radek*From:* ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *Walter Katz*Sent:* Tuesday, March 16, 2010 6:25 AM*To:* RAO,FANGYI (A-USA,ex1); ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>*Subject:* [ibis-macro] Re: question about Gaussian parameterFangyi,One of the reasons why I have proposed removing Gaussian as a type in the new BIRD.WalterWalter Katz 303.449-2308 Mobile 720.333-1107 wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx> www.sisoft.com <http://www.sisoft.com>-----Original Message-----*From:* ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]*On Behalf Of *fangyi_rao@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:fangyi_rao@xxxxxxxxxxx>*Sent:* Tuesday, March 16, 2010 1:24 AM *To:* ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Subject:* [ibis-macro] question about Gaussian parameterHi, Experts;If an AMI model has a parameter (PDF (Format Gaussian 0.0 0.01)), what should the Init input parameter string be?
