Hi Maurice,

Re statistics.

Hope I'm not boring the thread with this stuff. Thing is it can be dealt with in a much simpler, easy to understand way, using modern statistical techniques. I am fortunate in that I was paid lots of dough to attend lots of classes both in RS1 and SAS jump. I like both. You need a background in basic statistics to start using it, and ensure you don't abuse it. It is incredibly powerful though.

Dickens is using the 'ol chalk and blackboard technique, just to show his class (ability) and covering decades old data and reports. It is beautiful stuff btw.

Anyway, if my multi dimensions talk has confused you in any way, I wish to straighten the matter out with a few links. You dont have to understand all the statistical mush (unless you are interested) just look at the pretty pictures.

The thing is engineers can deal with more then just one "response" like for example "IQ" in the Dickens report. You can say to me I want to get the best possible human environment to maximise 5 responses... Humans with the best manners, intelligence, ability to make money on the stock market, who are females who don't divorce you, and good looking. Given the data base, I can come up with the best environment to create such a product. Watch out though, the girls are on top of this stuff too -g-

Here is some more mundane stuff on interactions.
