Hi,
after quite a while I'm finally updating the German translation, and as
always have a couple of questions:
1) "Using %d quadrature points" -- quadrature as in integration?
Yep.
3) "Pseudo-point observations": what's this?
This is in the context of interval models: it may happen that an interval
is so narrow that numerically is better treated as a point observation
rather than an interval proper. Statistically, this does no harm, but
numerically it may be a great help; so, for example, it may well be that
for a particular observation inf=12345.12345 and sup=12345.12346, so
that observation could be treated as a point rather than an interval, in
which case, it's labelled a "pseudo-point".
