AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a symbol for a vector of observations that avoids implying multiplication or summation, specifically for expressing inequalities among means of genotypes. The user seeks clarification on whether the symbol Pi is appropriate for this purpose. There is a suggestion that the notation could be represented as a series of inequalities between different genotype means. Additionally, guidance is provided on how to format mathematical expressions using LaTeX. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in representing statistical relationships without ambiguity.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but I was trying to find the symbol used for a vector of observations that doesn't implicitly infre multiplication or summation. I'm trying to express an inequality at the simple and general levels so that

\muAa \ne \muAA, \muaa

The idea is that this inequality should apply to means for factors (genotypes) at a single effect (a gene in this case), and more generally to the system of all means for all factors at all effects. Is that Pi that I should be using? I can't remember and can't find it.

I don't quite understand you. Are you simply trying to say that one vector of observations does not equal another?
In that case, it would be $$(\mu_{Aa_1},\mu_{Aa_2},\mu_{Aa_3}...) \neq (\mu_{AA_1}...) \neq ...$$
Can you elaborate a little more on what you need?
Also, to type $\LaTeX$, use \$ and \$$ symbols or $$[\MATH] tags.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
