[QUOTE="norriscathy, post: 167834, member: 2961"] IMO, the deviation between the values of BW, WW, etc is a lot more important than the accuracy range. Can't get excited in any event with 20%, 30%, 40% or even 50% accuracy. Even 50% would seem to mean that you are outside the 4 standard deviation range as often as not. My main question is: What is 1 standard deviation for each value? Not sure if the Associations make this information available or not. With 90% to 95%, I start believing EPD's, but usually by then the bull has long since gone to McDonalds. [/QUOTE]
