Perhaps I am too influenced by the metaphor of a 'pipeline' since that is far from the way that it seems to me. Elementary textbooks on *statistics*, however, tend to follow that model, since they are directed to the goal of showing how to do the analysis. In my head, the problem might be more like mapping a road trip between known locations, when you don't know beforehand which roads are good and which bridges may be down -- You usually have to look closely at the question (what already has been done? criticisms?) and the data that are possible for answering it (what sources? reliability? validity?). A textbooks on experimental design will illustrate, as a focus or not, many of the standard problems in a given area. Psychological and engineering research can have 'error terms' that are at extremes in magnitude and meaning; and a textbook in neither area pays attention to time series to the extent that econometricians do. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
