William Chambers, who posted to these newsgroups now and then about his ideas, that he often called Corresponding Regressions, died last week.
He had been suffering from renal failure for a year or more and had finally made it on the transplant list. He was discovered at home last week in arrest and he did not recover. A member of his family went through his old email and found that I had exchanged email with him in the past. They asked if I would post a brief message to let people know. I realized that his position was often at odds with other people's. But I was always polite and never stopped poking at him with questions. He was patient with me and would try to explain what he was claiming. Between the two of us he managed to clarify his position and increase our understanding, at least a little bit. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
