The Minimum Threshold Of Plausibility For An N-Term Array
This article presents the results of a period of review and critique of the Protocol described in the article listed below.  In it, the concept described in the title is introduced, and a modified equation from the Protocol article is given for the purpose of testing whether or not a given array meets this threshold.  This threshold method (as revised below) is now the analytical technique used for all new arrays presented at this site. 

The Minimum Threshold Of Plausibility For An N-Term Array
The abridged, non-technical version of the above article.

A Revised Minimum Threshold Of Plausibility For An N-Term Array
This revises the above article in a way that more accurately measures the significance of arrays containing terms with vertical components (in addition to the central term).

The next nine articles (all originally presented in the News section) utilize the Threshold method in the above article.  Please note that I recently discovered that accessing them from the links below results in articles whose formats are somewhat "mangled".  Thus it is best to go to the News index Bible Codes News Page: 1999 and 2000 News Articles  and click on the appropriate month to access the six articles below.

(9) “Who Is My Anointed?": A Long Yeshua Code In The Torah This article shows an extremely compact array containing the 7-letter ELS "Who is My Anointed?" and the 14-letter ELS "His name is Yeshua. Recognize thus!"

(8) Axis Powers: They Did Not Prevail This article shows that the 'Axis powers', an 'alliance of evil' 'did not prevail' in Hebrew year '5705'. (Posted 11/17/2000)

(7) From The Mount The Violence: 28 Elul In Year 5760 This article concerns the visit of Ariel Sharon to Temple Mount on September 28, 2000 and the Palestinian violence which followed. (Posted 10/24/2000)

(6) Yeshua (Jesus), Who Arose From Death This article shows and discusses an array with the following terms: 'Who am I? Yeshua is My name.'; 'divine'; 'man and God'; and 'who arose from death'. (Posted night of 09/30/2000)

(5) The Evil Man Hitler This article contains three arrays which develop and discuss this theme, including one with the highest threshold calculation result yet presented. (Posted 08/28/2000.)

(4) Martin Luther and Reform A number of arrays are shown and discussed, all linked by the inclusion of the shortest skip distance occurrence of "reform" in the Torah. (Posted 08/02/2000.)

(3) Bonhoeffer and Hitler in the Bible Codes Arrays containing both terms are shown and discussed. (Posted 07/18/2000.)

(2) Keith York, Chemist Some important principles of the Bible codes are illustrated by the arrays in this article. (Posted 07/10/2000.)

(1) Hafez Assad, President of Syria This article contains three related arrays found concerning the recently deceased Hafez Assad. (Posted 06/18/2000.)

The following articles deal with a variety of topics concerning the Bible codes.

Randall Ingermanson's Entropy Tests And A Low-Density Bible Code

Randall Ingermanson's results in his book "Who Wrote The Bible Code?" are discussed in relation to the idea of a "low-density" Bible Code.

Why Cluster Analysis Is Flawed
Reasons are given why I believe that cluster analysis as presented at Roy Reinhold's website is flawed.

Who Wants A Good Report?
Guest author Moshe Aharon Shak addresses the statistical analysis of +1 skip distance terms (i.e., surface text words and phrases) as handled within a codes software program's report function.  He discusses some of the special issues concerning +1 skip terms (as compared to longer skip distance terms) and proposes a 4-part method for performing these analyses. 

A Protocol For The Statistical Analysis Of Bible Code Arrays
Based partly on Roy's method (see below), it expands upon it by allowing analyses not just of ELS's within an array, but of ELS's as paired with the central term in an array.  The 3-part article first describes the protocol, then illustrates it with two arrays as examples, and finally discusses critical judgment when using the protocol and examining any Bible code findings.  This protocol has been replaced by the method presented in "The Minimum Threshold Of Plausibility For An N-Term Array", which is the standard method for statistical analysis of all new arrays presented at this site.

A Response To Roy Reinhold's 3-Part "Statistics In Bible Code 
Programs"
Roy Reinhold recently wrote a 3-part article on "Statistics in Bible Code Programs".  This is a review of those articles (link provided within the review).

The Truth About The Bible Codes
Intended as an update to The Bible Codes Fact Sheet, this article covers such topics as: what are an ELS and matrix, answers to skeptics' claims against the codes, how much can be found by pure chance, the criteria for a significant array, the true purpose of the codes as compared to their misuse, and the implications of the Bible codes.  Also included is an appendix which gives a detailed statistical analysis of two code pairings.

The Issue Of Near Minimality
One criterion often listed for arrays to be considered significant is that all of their ELS's be "near-minimal" in skip distance.  What does this mean?  This issue is discussed and guidelines are presented for future publication of arrays at this site.

A Primer on the Torah Codes Controversy for Laymen
This is not one of our articles, but is nevertheless recommended reading.  Harold Gans, a highly qualified codes researcher (and former cryptanalyst with the National Security Agency) has written this lengthy and comprehensive response to the issues raised by McKay, et. al and posted it at the Discovery Seminar site.

The Multi-Dimensional Aspect of the Bible Code  
Roy A. Reinhold gives us an in-depth explanation of row-splitting, and how to do it using CodeFinder, Bible Codes 2000, and other software programs.


Formal Control Experiment Reveals Significant Codes
Staff member Keith York (now Webmaster) performed a formal experiment which compares all of the codes found on the August News Page to similar findings in a random text.
