Michael Sylvester wrote: It is my understanding that Britain does not have a written constitution. So do they go by intuition or the Magna Carta? Strictly speaking, it is untrue that Britain does not have a written constitution. The legal expert Joshua Rozenberg rather describes it as uncodified.

RE: [tips] Thanks Allen!! Kant in 1871?!?
Oops!! Thanks for catching that Allen (yes, very late or perhaps he came back 100 years later for a brief publishing flourish!). I did mean to type 1781!! :) Tim ___ Timothy O.

[tips] thanks to all
Thanks to all who responded offering suggestions for research for the unaffiliated. I set out trying to find a macro solution, but it appears that the actual solution is a collection of micro processes :-). Anyway--thanks again to all.

[tips] Thanks! (was: Citation for usefulness of pretests for ANOVA)
Dear Tipsters, as always, I am amazed by the speed and accuracy of responses on this list; thank you so much, Stephen and Mike! I hope the quotation will drive home a point with a subpopulation of our students who continue to worry about assumptions of ANOVA while simultaneously endorsing ad-hoc 4-point rating scales as dependent variables sigh.

It was George Box who provided that delightful simile. They just don't write about statistics like that any more, do they? The reference is: Box, G.E.P. (1953). Non-normality and tests on variances. Biometrika 40: 318-35. I searched my files but couldn't come up with a copy of the paper. But I found something on- line nearly as good: a Citation Classic reminiscence by Box about the circumstances in which this paper came to be. (A Citation Classic is an essay which the authors of highly- cited works are asked to provide]. Box gives the famous quotation there as To make the preliminary test on variances is rather like putting to sea in a rowing boat to find out whether conditions are sufficiently calm for an ocean liner to leave port. That's remarkably close to what Rainer remembered. Pretty good! The Citation Classic of Box is in _Current Contents_, no. 4 January 25, 1982 and is available on-line at: http://www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/classics1982/A1982MX2941.pdf Note to editors: the essay concludes with a wonderful anecdote. Box says the referee at Biometrika harshly rejected his paper. But the envelope included a hand-written note from E.S. Pearson, which said You will see that the referee does not like your paper but I do and subject to mild revision I am going to publish it anyway. Box concludes by noting that papers with novel ideas are the hardest to publish. Stephen __ Stephen L.
