I might be inclined to agree with you, but until I accumulate examples with more and different data sets, I want to be conservative in my assessment. My current suspicion is that the method is very sensitive to distributional assumptions and not very robust.
I ran some more data sets with mixed results, but Dr. Chambers tells me that there is a better measure than D. When I get the details, I'll see if I can program it and then see how the new measure performs.
It is kind of fun to try out all these datasets with traditional regression models and the corresponding regressions approach.
