Like I said, PAQ uses several statistical models together with an 
*artificial neural network* to combine the estimates into a final total. 
In other words, the ANN is there to "learn" which model(s) work best for

*sigh* Oh how I haven't missed our GAANN lectures... Mostly because of 
the lecturer involved, not the content.
