SK>Nice to see you here again. Have you been on vacation?
 
PS>I was down in Seattle finishing my Masters'.  I learned a lot
PS>about Statistics.
Oh GOODY! - Have you been following my discussion with Chuck 
regarding whether large sample size impacts on a study that
may contain more than one variable (the Star study is one
that we're discussing)?  He brought up degree of confidence.
He and I are both fuzzy on this point; anything you'd care
to add to what we've written?
 
PS>What I measured on my projects wass the rate of learning in math 
PS>computation - that is improvement between standardize scores of 
PS>the fourth and sixth grade - of students who received special 
PS>services for chronic behavior problems and those who received 
PS>remedial help. (There were six other areas tested like children 
PS>of broken homes, gifted, number of siblings, gender, minority 
PS>status, socioeconomic status - these all produced no statistical 
PS>significance.)
This answers a question I raised in another post to you..
