A Final Estimate

As a check that these results are sensible, a sample of size tex2html_wrap_inline4243 was collected using spacing 200. This sample gave an estimate tex2html_wrap_inline4245 with MCSE (0.0015, 0.00029) The final estimate of the inverse Fisher information is

If we this `final estimate' to be the truth, our earlier estimate had actual error (0.017, -0.0032) which is about the same size as its stated MCSE (0.019, 0.0037). The MCSE calculation seems to have worked.
