Thank you for your persistence in recording the horror that is happening to the trees and the world.

I really admire these kids that are working really hard and taking risks.<br /><br />The non-linear hoax!

All linear functions in nature remain linear for only a part of their possible range(s) as your quote points out using water as an example. I'm glad that someone agrees with me. Using linear regression on variables outside of their linear range(s) can only lead to junk science and/or incorrect results. Every modeled variable needs to be examined for it's acceptable range(s).<br /><br />I don't remember anyone at the University mentioning this possibility concerning linear regression and its obscured short comings. But that might just be my faulty memory.<br /><br />Feel free to remind. catman306https://www.blogger.com/profile/04670081770711560337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-45508032482641175512013-04-03T12:20:18.602-04:002013-04-03T12:20:18.602-04:00Gail...you are a true wonder.
