Overall style
editThis article is quite impressive. However, it reads too much like a how-to manual or a textbook. I may have a go to clean that up. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 16:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- I just read this article - and I found it extremely well written and clear. One of the best examples of why wikipedia rocks. Thanks!--Achristoffersen (talk) 22:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that it reads like a manual or textbook, but I think that is the reason it is an accessible explanation and a great Wikipedia article. Other explanations I have read on blogs or in textbooks is not as clear as this one. I believe it should be left as is. Fairybluebirb (talk) 09:40, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Personally, I think it's a great article, and wouldn't change a thing. I expected to have to dedicate at least an hour of jumping back and forward between definitions in other articles, but I walk away after 20 minutes with a good grasp of the subject. It guided me through clear, concise examples, with an accessible but not oversimplified explanation, and I found the tone a pleasure to read. It reads more like a seasoned teacher than like a scientific article (of which I've had my fill these last few days), without sacrificing seriousness. Thank you! 213.245.23.234 (talk) 19:24, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

- Indeed; similar considerations apply to the source mentioned by the IP, Jeffrey Strickland (2014), Predictive Analytics using R, Lulu Inc. I've left a {{backwardscopy}} tag for that one. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Error in the example formula?
editI think the formula is missing some terms just before max(0, 200 - vis). The formula should be [...] 0.016 max(0, wind - 7) + c max(0, 200 - vis) where c is a small coefficient (about 0.035 if I had to guess). TyrHexFF (talk) 08:35, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- My bad I was wrong. TyrHexFF (talk) 08:37, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
