Hi Dennis,
Robert's observation is 'spot on' because it is the way things are, rather than the
way we would like to think things are. I (of course) agree that people writing
papers should have some sense of proportion the claims made in their papers.
Nevertheless, if you want to study the gag ref
Hi,
I'm a grad student in social science. My use of satistics software has
been limited to SPSS because its simple user interface allowed me to
easily do some simple non-parametric tests. But now, I am interested in
trying some resistant analysis techniques I have read about, but they
don't seem

I have never said that split half is better in general. In general, alpha
is probably better. But in those instances when alpha doesn't fit, the
split half technique may be quite useful. Coefficent alpha is based upon a
model like all of statistics. If the model is inappropriate, then some

I have two physiological signals (discharge rate of a neuron and
electrical voltage [EMG] of a muscle). I'd like to determine the
cross-correlation between the two signals as a function of time (i.e. if
a "relationship" between the two signals exists, how does this
"relationship" change over time)
