here are some of the actual reported galton data ... scatterplots between
fathers' and sons' heights ... interesting tidbit about these data ...
clearly, some fathers sired not only sons ... but also daughters ...
SOOOOOOOO ... for the case of daughters ... the value that was imputed was
a multiple given the ratio of the mean of sons heights to mean of daughters
heights ... and THAT multiplied value was inserted for that father .... AS
BEING A SON
