Dear Everyone,
I feel singularly stupid. My filing system has collapsed, if it ever
was structured.
A few weeks ago, I believe on this list, a quick discussion of Galton's
regression to the mean popped up. I downloaded some of Galton's data,
generated my own, and found some ways to express the effect in ways my
non-statistian education friends might understand. Still working on
that part.
In addition, there was a reference to a wonderful article, which I read,
and which explained the whole thing in excellent terms and clarity for
me. The author is clearly an expert on the subject of detecting change
in things. He (I think) even listed people who had fallen into the
regression toward the mean fallacy, including himself.
Problem: Now of course I really want that article again, and
reference. I cannot find it on my hard drive. Maybe I didn't download
it - it was large. But I can't find the reference to it, either. Bummer!
Can anyone figure out who and what article I'm referring to, and
re-point me to it?
Very much obliged to you all,
Jay
