In the course of my Go Bible activities, I found it necessary to perform a statistical analysis of Bible verse lengths, in order to test a conjecture that there had been systematic truncation in the particular source text that I had been working with. This was the French translation by Pirot and Clamer.
This is an illustration of where my Engineering and Theology interests and skills overlap.
The underlying probability distribution would be of interest to statisticians.
- Cubic polynomial best fit below the mode, where mode length = 79 characters
- Linear best fit above the mode
