What is biased? the LR solution for c? - toward what, away from what, and when? - is the bias known? Is it large? - a suggestion for .... Does it look like you can't trust the p-level about your answer for c? Do you have a reference that suggests your problem is serious, or just how serious the problem might be? -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
