Bob:
I think your commentary is rude.
I'm just trying to help.
Like I said, at the beginning of my posting "This is just an idea".
Perhaps you missed my statement. If you didn't and still made this comment,
ah well.

Should anyone care to plot up the data, I hazard
that it will be found that the number of medals is
well described by a Poisson with a different mean
for each country during some nominal interval of
years. It may be that such means are explainable
in terms of factors, but the fluctuations from

Hi, Paige --
Good comments about "There are so many
different factors..."
"To say that half the observations should
have positive errors and halfshould have negative errors is to confuse
median with mean."
I used the word ABOUT intentionally to
distinguish from EXACTLY.

Ok, I'll play. Please keep in mind that these thoughts are still rough
and are put forward in that form.
If we in fact define over/under achievers as those who are outside of say
2se of our predicted achievment level we are "correct" in about 95% of the
cases for which make a prediction. Tha
Does NC state offer short-courses or workshops on statistical analysis
methods? Where may I find a schedule?
