    mbn> Sorry for reviving an old topic, but I would like to get more
    mbn> information about the geometric mean (GM) method devised by
    mbn> G. Robinson. The earliest reference I could find is his article:

    mbn> http://radio.weblogs.com/0101454/stories/2002/09/16/spamDetection.html

    mbn> Where he mentions that the geometric mean is consistent with
    mbn> Fisher's method, but no more details are given:
    ...
    mbn> Any explanation about the derivation of the GM method will be
    mbn> greatly appreciated.

You might try asking on spambayes-dev at python.org.  It's quite possible that
