One major bias was encountered when I had made a case for a new effect" bias right there.
Experience with a few of these.

Which one do you prefer. Squishy, high end roll-off, compressed and sustaining (cathode) as in this amp:
Reeves Amps - Custom 30 - YouTube Reeves Amps - Custom 30 - YouTube
or the same version but fixed bias (louder, more dynamic, brighter, more aggresive...

With fixed bias it cleans up as it should it was fixed bias.

Using
value = arc4random() % x
How can I avoid or eliminate modulo bias?
Thanks all.
BTW, at least according to Wikipedia, modulo bias is an issue when programming games of chance.

However, if you want to be really sure, do this:
y = 2 p where 2 p-1 .
Modulo bias for small enough x.

I'm going to be redoing the brake lines on my car, and want to add a bias valve.
Any reccomendations? Lever or knob?
Tilton Lever
Tilton Knob
Wilwood
Any others?
Thanks

Thanks....
If you were rallying and need to alter all the time the lever wood be better and quicker .
I have the Tilton knob, once it's set I never end up changing it during a track day, but if I did need to tweak it, it is very easy to do when driving anyway .

You have a biased random number generator that produces a 1 with a probability p and 0 with a probability (1-p). you do not know the value of p. using this make an unbiased random number generator which produces 1 with a probability 0.5 and 0 with a probability...

You need to draw pairs of values from the RNG until you get a sequence of different... .
Taking them as 0 and 1 respectively and discarding the other two pairs of results you get an unbiased random generator .
The events (p)(1-p) and (1-p)(p) are equiprobable.

It seems that this simple shuffle algorithm will produce biased results:
# suppose $arr is filled with 1 to 52 for ($i < 0; $i < 52; $i++) { $j = rand(0, 51); # swap the items $tmp = $arr[j]; $arr[j] = $arr[i]; $arr[i] = $tmp; }
you can try it.....

The buckets selected for the bias are repeatable.
Represented in the first algorithm are not random.

I came across this reported interview question when doing some reviewing (the following quote is all the info I found about the problem):
Given a function for a fair coin, write a function for a biased coin that returns heads 1/n times (n is a param)

Assuming:
int fairCoinToss();
returns 1 for heads and 2 for tails, writing:
int biasedCoinToss(int n);
where heads (1) will appear 1/n of the time this should work:
int biasedCoinToss(int n) { if (n == 1) { return 1; // 1/1 = 1 = always heads } else if... .
