Default Re: Unit Cost Equation

BigDaddy, I am toying with the idea of converting cost to percentile scores
and then giving a table for converting back from percentiles to gold cost for
someone who uses the formula. I think that would address nonlinearity more
efficiently than various curve fitting schemes. I bet that math professors
everywhere are feeling mysteriously uneasy that someone somewhere is
using linear modeling with percentile data, but I think that it should work
alright from a practical perspective. Of course, it's extra work, so who know
whether I will get around to it.
