I must say that I don't envy the faculty at GMU. I saw that at one point Wegman had received an "outstanding researcher award' from the university. No doubt that he has been seen as a senior faculty member who brings prestigue to the university. For his part, Wegman must wish that he had not gotten involved in the whole mess. This feels a little like the situation where a newspaper must admit that it printed a story fabricated by one of its reporters.<br /><br />Having asked statistics professors for advice and help in analyzing my own data, it's very clear to me that statisticians are in dangerous waters if they venture to criticize the analysis of complex data which they barely understand. It's important for scientists and statisticians to work together. A scientist needs a good understanding of statistics to help the statistician understand what assumptions are reasonable and what approaches are warranted.BillDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-45330903299550495442010-11-22T06:21:42.400-05:002010-11-22T06:21:42.400-05:00Re HR's link...

Perhaps GMU's increasingly looking over-tardy investigation/report into the WR plagiarism issue is because they are trawling through his >160 papers and 8 books to see whether other issues will surface (?)<br /><br /><br />And I see that dMT say:<br /><br />"<i>Data mining identifies trends within data that go beyond simple analysis. Through the use of sophisticated algorithms, users have the ability to identify key attributes of business processes and target opportunities.<br /><br />The term data mining is often used to apply to the two separate processes of knowledge discovery and prediction. Knowledge discovery provides explicit information that has a readable form and can be understood by a user. Forecasting, or predictive modeling provides predictions of future events and may be transparent and readable in some approaches (e.g. rule based systems) and opaque in others such as neural networks. Moreover, some data mining systems such as neural networks are inherently geared towards prediction and pattern recognition, rather than knowledge discovery..</i>"<br /><br />Now I wonder if he/they've applied their...<br /><br /><i>Cymraeg llygoden</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-82771833756262351362010-11-22T01:33:50.438-05:002010-11-22T01:33:50.438-05:00Somehow the USAT article omits any reference to an...Somehow the USAT article omits any reference to an investigation by the VA Attorney General into the plagiarism.
