Hi Everyone,
I just ran across an application of regression analysis that, while
not really social scientific, illustrates a number of concepts we'll
be talking about in the next lecture. The cite is:
Tatem, Guerra, Atkinskon, and Hay. 2004. "Momentous Sprint at the 2156
Olympics." Nature. 431 (30 September) 431: 525.
The article and data are up on the course website under the handouts
section.
Please read this and spend a bit of time thinking about why you do or
do not believe their results. We'll talk about this at the next
lecture.
Best,
Kevin
