Nice work all, several are pitching in and it seems to be helping. Keep it up.
As many of you know the first slider program was in it's beta release when the source code was deleted by mistake.
It had a few bugs that were never fixed and has a few problems. Around a year or so back I attempted to rebuild it
from scratch but was never able to recreate the algorithms that were the heart of the program.
Good news, after some serious thought I concluded that while I could not remember the algorithms I do remember
what they were suppose to do. I have been working on it off and on for the last year and think I may have come up
with even better algorithms.
I added a few more slides to the main body and added 5-power slides below. The master slide is under construction
and uses a regression tool to calculate it's value. You may have noticed that in the first version the master slide was
the weak link in the chain. In the first version the same methods used to set the conditional sliders was also used to
set the master slide. The new version uses several different algorithms depending on the data they control and the
master is calculated using regression. Regression is a far better tool for doing this and while it's not 100% what I am
able to test looks very good. Anyway, just wanted to update some of what I am working on.
P.S.
This is by far the most complex program I have ever written and may take a couple months to complete or even
longer depending on how often I am able to find time to work on it. The front-end and interface is fairly simple but
that's where the simple part ends. I test everything at every stage of development and while this takes a lot of time
the hope is that the finished product will be 100% error free. Picture is a bit blurry as I resized it to fit the screen.
