Hi Marc,
I don't think so, although I could have missed something (I just quick
cranked out the example.) The definition I linked to involves rounding (2.5
would round to 3, and 2.4 would round to 2), so I just included the rounding
in the equation. Let me know if you see something I botched.
Thanks,
Adam
