It's usually easy to tell whether someone's been massaging the raw data. Pete - can you subtract your gaussian from the bins, so we can see whether there is a "regrade" effect?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832835369014787139.post-55501739853343393232012-07-20T17:07:10.061+02:002012-07-20T17:07:10.061+02:00I find strange how the centre of the Gaussian is a...I find strange how the centre of the Gaussian is always just below 50%.<br />But even stranger is the dip in 45-49!
