i gather that a collection of events which is analyzed with statistics
must have sufficient similarity (between each event) for the analysis to
be accurate/precise. how similar is sufficient? can anyone recommend
refs (preferably books) that discuss this issue, and provide guidelines
for assuring sufficient similarity? does this consideration affect the
appropriate choice of model?
thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom & experience.
