LOL! Well, maybe, maybe not. Though it might be useful in other ways. The clearest analogy to the Olympics medals by country is grades by student. If one translates medals into grade components, then one can get a picture of where everyone in a class stands relative to each other. Just a thought. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu On Aug 9, 2012, at 8:38 AM, Michael Palij wrote: Seems to me that it might be useful in representing some things in psychology. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: peter...@svsu.edu.

Re: [tips] Interesting Graphs And Graphing
Hi One of the things I wondered about this graph was the strengths of these approaches to ones that simply assigned weights to medals. For example, assigning scores to gold, silver, and bronze, of 4, 2, and 1 would generate a single numerical score for every country, assuming that 2 bronze = 1 silver and 2 silver = 1 gold. Would be possible to get psychological (or perhaps other ... $$?) values for weights. And then there is the issue of different weightings by events? Does a medal in synchronized swimming = a medal in 100 meter track event? Take care Jim James M.
