Clumping factor in terms of variance
Is that formula actually correct? I reverted it once last year and you just reverted it again, but I just did the algebra and got plus one, not minus one. It isn't in the given reference, so an additional citation would be good. The algebra isn't exactly mind-boggling, but it isn't exactly trivial either.

 * Yep, sorry, your correction was accurate, and just comes from the definition of variance and the first formula. Unfortunately, it's a fairly technical concept, so it usually just appears in papers with the algebra done behind the scenes, so I haven't found any more explicit citations.

 * Actually wasn't me that put the right sign in. Someone else did last year and I reverted it.  Then it happened again this year and I actually worked it out.  I couldn't find any good references either.  Thanks for looking at it and confirming my thoughts.  Lithopsian (talk) 16:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
