Hi I'm having trouble in choosing the right method to analyse a large dataset. I have N data, consisting of measured responses fn(t) all of the same length T. Each fn(t) can be considered to have one part, fsame(t), that is the same throughout the dataset and another that is varying, fn_different(t). I'm interested in preforming some sort of correlation/statistical analysis of the data, that can tell me how the part of the data in fn(t), that are varying (ie. fn_different(t)) are dependent of eachother, ie. are the parts statically independent, or not and if not with which distribution do they depend of eachother or ? I hope that someone can help me ? kind regards Johnny ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list and remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
