		Several other distributional point count valuations are in use, which may assign point values to long suits instead of or in addition to short suits.
		The point count is used to determine the level of the contract a partnership should try to reach on each deal (see table 2).
		In any event, the point count does not guarantee that you will make your contract at the recommended level—it is just a guideline based on what works in most cases.

	BBIRD Field Protocols - Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Point counts should be 50 m fixed-radius to allow comparability among widely different habitat types and to maximize the probability that bird counts reflect vegetation measured at the point (Petit et al., in press).
		Points should be established using permanent markers (stakes) and these points should be totally contained within the plot (center of survey plots should be 100 m from the edge of the nest search plot).
		The starting point and path among points should differ for each of the three counts to minimize effects of visitation path on time of surveying.

	NPWRC :: Point Counts of Birds: What Are We Estimating?
		Abstract: Point counts of birds are made for many reasons, including estimating local densities, determining population trends, assessing habitat preferences, and exploiting the activities of recreational birdwatchers.
		A point count, or circular-plot survey, involves a series of points or stations at which birds are counted.
		But as the count period is extended, the number of birds present sometime during the count period increases, because of territories that partially overlap the study area (Granholm 1983, Scott and Ramsey 1981).

	Darryl Gove's blog : Weblog
		In this blog entry I talk about how to determine the floating point content of an application using the tools that are shipped with the OS and the compiler.
		However in this case the ieee-754 standard for floating point computation protects us - the standard says that in the compliant mode the calculation has to be done even if the results are not used (this is in case the side-effects of the calculation are being evaluated).
		So ~70% of the instructions were floating point, and 52% of instructions were floating point memory operations.

		The rule is to add one point for a doubleton, two for a singleton, and three for a void.

		In the short-suit method it drops a point, and in the Pavlicek method it drops two points.

		In Pennsylvania we plan to use point counts on Important Bird Areas (IBAs) to obtain baseline relative abundance data by habitat type, to assess the effects of various land management practices, and to determine long-term trends.

	The Peregrine Fund - Conservation Projects - Maya Project Research: Description and Results (6)
		For example, among the most widely used counting methods for small songbirds is the "point count," in which one tabulates all individuals detected within a certain radius of a point during a specified amount of time.
		Having selected adequate view points, our procedure is to conduct a point count somewhere between two and four hours in duration, though clearly this should be standardized within a study.
		Data resulting from such a count are of several types, mainly: the number of 5-minute periods during which species X was detected, the number of individuals times the number of 5-minute periods within which they were detected, and the number of distinct individuals known to be present at some point during the count.

		So, yeas go ahead and use advanced point count systems only if you are sure that you are executing it correctly (you will definitely make more money), but let me remind you ne more time, that extra profit is only obtained if you use system making aceptable amount of mistakes.

		At each point on a transect, all birds detected during an 8-minute period (recorded as 2 intervals, the first 5 and last 3 minutes of the count period) were recorded along with the distance interval from the observer to the bird.
		Barker and Sauer (1995) point out that a major feature of point counts is that they do not census birds but instead they provide an incomplete count of the number of individuals in a given area at a given time.
		(1993) points out that either the sum of the time needed to perform the point counts can be large (assuming lengthy travel time between points) or the total number of points surveyed can be large to increase statistical power.

	Function Point FAQ
		Function points are not a perfect measure of effort to develop an application or of its business value, although the size in function points is typically an important factor in measuring each.
		This is because the function point count for an application is independent of the technology used to develop the application.
		If the function point counting function is outsourced for a year, then it will be necessary to completely train the staff again if they are to be expected to pick up the counting after that time.

	NESMA: Early FPA
		The methods estimated and indicative function point counts have been developed by NESMA to enable function point counting early in the system life cycle.
		So, the only difference with the usual function point count is that the complexity is not determined per individual function, but by default.
		A (usual or detailed) function point count is of course more accurate than an estimated or an indicative count; but it also costs more time and needs more detailed specifications.

	Advanced Point Count Strategy - BlackjackInfo.com Forums
		I'm pretty new to card counting and have looked over many different strategies and one I like in particular is Revere's advanced point count strategy.
		Counting while playing a Martingale is pointless because the Martingale System dictates what you are to bet, and count dependant bet sizing is the main attraction of a counting system.
		First, the count must be quite high before you'll actually have a better than 50% chance of winning the next hand.

	:: omaha point count systems :: - www.bet-the-pot.com :: intelligent poker community
		One example is the small number of "point scoring" systems available (try a Google search if you don't believe me!) for gauging the strength of an Omaha high or Omaha 8 starting hand.
		Features in your hand are given points, count them up to give you 4-card hand a total score.
		The recommendation is that any hand over 15 points is good enough to play, anything over 20 should be raised (for a start, this is insanely tight for anyone other than a total Omaha neophyte; following these rules you'll maybe be playing one hand in every 8-10, outside of the blinds).
