For those who are still interested in MDIEditor;
I just wanted to share some observations of filter performance in MDIEditor.
15 17 18 34 39 45
15 31 32 34 42 47
35 36 37 46 47 48
Combinations above are real draws from Canadian Atlantic 649 (starting March 30, 2003). They were drawn sequentially (bottom to top). I am sure you will find similar numbers in your game of choice.
Statistical report generated on a data file with 228,263 (real + simulated) lines produces the following results for Ion5.
9503
9503
9503+
Simulated data has been purged against real drawings (all filters disabled) and checked for duplicates. Please note that data file size is sufficient according to authors recommendations.
If you try to insert combinations mentioned above into your data file you may get different values for corresponding Ion5 values, though I am quite certain that they will be out of range. Test it for yourself.
We can only guess how this may affect number generation process (filters in particular). I ran tests on three occurrences of a pattern in the lotto game mentioned above. In all three cases Ion5 value which actually passed the winning combination did not match the stat report value (6). In fact, they had to be multiplied by 16, 20, and 12 respectively.
Results of my tests may be incorrect due to the problem described earlier. You can draw your own conclusions based on information presented here. I personally think that Ion5 does not work correctly when irregular draws are present in data files. I am still looking into this however&
p.s. Please note that all three combinations have at least two sequential numbers (17-18, 31-32, and 35-36). A brief look at my data file with reference to the latest stat report reveals that every out of range value for Ion5 correspond with a combination which has sequential numbers.
PM me if you would like a copy of the data file I referred to in this post. Also, this is not a joke.
