Yes, this is pretty much a copy of the page on Everything2 with the same name. I can do that: I wrote that one. Probably needs some formalizing and formatting. Clsn 18:15, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References and wrong content

Please add some print references to this article, not just a link to another page you have written.

Link added to Watanabe's book, or at least a scan of the relevant part of it, which is what I could find. Maybe my statement of it is original, but the research isn't.

The sentence you added again is clearly wrong; there must be additional assumptions on the theorem that says that the set of attributes representing each object has a 50/50 chance of containing any particular attribute. CMummert 03:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the German version

I find a quite detailed article on this topic in the German wikipedia: de:Ugly-Duckling-Theorem, but I don't understand German. So it would be great if someone could translate that one into English. Took 02:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

It would be nice if someone could either translate that one or fix it, as the mathematics is wrong. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
