I checked with a nerdy geek and was told that it is a waste of bandwidth to broadcast attachments to an entire mailing list. Although not every attachment is a virus, NO ASCII text is. Dr. Knodt's suggestion is entirely consistent with email etiquette. - Forwarded message from Thomas Gatl

Re: stan error of r - Virus

2001-04-02 Thread Thomas Gatliffe
Dr. Knodt, Perhaps you should make an appointment with some nerdy geek in the IR department who can explain to you how viruses get promulgated. It is usually through executables (.exe) files or microsoft macros. Otherwise you will continue to be needlessly worried about non-existent threats.

Error term in repeated-measures ANOVA

2001-04-02 Thread Will Hopkins
I do all my repeated measures analyses with mixed modeling in SAS these days, but I get called on to help people who use standard repeated-measures analyses with other stats packages. So here's my question, which I should know the answer to but I don't! In a repeated-measures ANOVA, most stat

Everything you need is in what you wrote. You do understand that "z" is the usual shorthand for "a standard score", and that a standard score is the representation of a given raw score as its deviation from the population mean in standard-deviation units? The rest is merely a lookup in a tabl

SAT scores are approximately normal with mean 500 and a standard devotion 100. Scores of 800 or higher are reported as 800, so a perfect paper is not required to score 800 on the SAT. What percent of students who take the SAT score 800? The answer to this question shall be: SAT scores of 800+ cor

Repeated-measures t test for ratio level data

2001-04-02 Thread Dr Graham D Smith
I would like to start a discussion on a family of procedures that tend not to be emphasised in the literature. The procedures I have in mind are based upon the ratio between two sets of scores from the same sample.   To illustrate the discussion, I shall refer to the data from a simple psych
