In a chapter in Ecob and Cuttance's "Structural Modeling by Example" by Hauser and Mossel a fit statistic is used with the label "L^2". This statistic appears to be either chi square or closely related to chi square. Is L^2 a European way of denoting chi square? Was it traditional for printing houses that didn't have the plates necessary for a greek letter in a particular typeface? Or is it just a fit statistic I'm completely ignorant of (the likely answer)? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
