Marsha,

Some work has been done with regional acid deposition models
(RADM) from the US-EPA.  Some work is planned for sondification
of El Nino data from the Pacific ocean.  Mostly, we're in the
exploratory (fun and games :-) development stage.  Do you want a
video of our work?  What's your street address?  Do you have any
interesting idea?

Michael

Subject:      projections on Mac

Hello everybody!

I'm new on this list and I don't know if anybody else has already
asked the following question.  I've got maps I want to transpose
from one projection to another (transform xy coordinates to obtain
a new map).  Is there any application (program) running on
Macintosh that does this operation for various kinds of
projections?  And (lucky for me) is there such a shareware
application?

Thanks for every answer, on the list or at my e.mail address

11/5/92
After recently becoming a member of the Life Extension Foundation, I was
considering buying some smart drugs from overseas.  Could someone please
provide me with a list of the companies with which the FDA has alerts out for?
Having them confiscate expensive goods (especially _my_ expensive goods) is not
my idea of being "protected" and would like to know which companies it is not
"safe" to order from.
My apologies if this is a FAQ, I just joined the list recently.

Subject:      email questions

Hello,
        My campus (University of Central Florida) is considering supporting
email for all of our staff and students.  Currently we have a mix of host
and lan based mail systems supporting about 15% of the campus.  We are looking
at bringing up either a Unix based email system or a POP based server for
out users.  I would appreciate answers to the following questions from
any site who is running is this environment or who might be thinking about
it.

1) How many users are you currently supporting?

2) Are you using a POP based system or a Unix email system (Pine/elm)?

3) How much disk space have you allocated to the POP server (or Unix box)
   and do you have a formula for allocating space?

4) How powerful of a email server do you have (MIPS) and is it dedicated
   to the email function?

5) How many support people (man hours?) do you need for the email
   system each month?

6) How do you support access to the email system?

    1) direct TCPIP access (NuPop or Eudora).
    2) SLIP access
    3) ascii dialup/gateway through pbx

7) How many concurrent users do you support?

8) How do you handle documentation and training?

Thanks very much.

   NDSUVM1 will be DOWN on Sunday, November 8, 1992 for hardware
maintenance (routine engineering changes).  NDSUVM1 is also known as
VM1.NODAK.EDU (134.129.111.1) and is located in Fargo, North Dakota,
USA.

   We plan to go down around 5:00 AM CST (1100 GMT) and hope to be back up
by 16:00 CST (2200 GMT).

   BITNET nodes affected by the outage include NDSUVM1, PLAINS,
UNDJES2, SDNET, SDSUVM, and SDSUMUS.  NDSUVM1 also runs a backbone
LISTSERV so some LISTSERV distributions to those and other nodes
nearby will be interrupted.  Our anonymous FTP facilities on
vm1.nodak.edu will also be unavailable during this time.

   System status messages are usually recorded on (701) 237-7258.  In
case of emergency you may reach our computer operators at (701)
237-8650.  If you use our facilities let us know if you see any new
problems after we come back up.  Thank you!

ADVANCE WARNING:
   We will also be MOVING our entire computer center operation to a
new building over the US Thanksgiving weekend.  Right now we plan to
go down at 6 PM CST Nov.  25 (0000 Nov 26 GMT) and plan to be back up
before Monday morning Nov.  30.  I plan to issue another note as the
time draws closer.

I was wondering if any of the readers know of material regarding
the actual (as opposed to hypothetical) impact of outliers on
estimation of correlations.  There is one article by Orr et al
in Personnel Psychology 1991 vol 44 no 3 which reports that various
outlier deletion methods had only a small impact on average rho
estimation and various effects on the variance of the estimates.
Do you know of any other recent emprical treatment of the question?

Subject:      Re: Chi-square

I sent a version of my comment on the Chi-Square probability question
privately, but the direction of the public thread leads me to post
my point to the list.

The original question dealt with how to determine which of various
Chi-Square results were "more significant" when the probability
levels associated with the statistics were all in the form .0000
The Chi-Square values were all present, but the probabilities were
indistinguishable.

I can't recall the original wording of the request, but my impression
was that the various Chi-Square values, each of which had different
degrees of freedom, were associated with various models tested on
the same data set.  If that impression is correct, then differences
among the Chi-Square values can be tested simply by subtracting the
Chi Square values and evaluating the resulting difference on the
degrees of freedom that result from substracting the larger
degrees of freedom from the smaller degrees of freedom..

Of course, if the different Chi Square values do not reflect
different models attempted on the same data, then none of the
above applies.

This is being cross-posted.  Disregard if uninterested in conjoint....

Greetings!  I am assisting a researcher here at the University of Georgia
who would like to conduct a conjoint study which has 3 factors. It is a 6 x
5 x 2 design with 60 possible combinations.  Obviously one cannot possibly
digest 60 alternatives and discriminate but only a small amount of them.

   Question #1 - Is there any research which suggest the optimal number of
alternatives that respondents can process?

I then use the PLANCARDS procedure to obtain the orthogonal array.  The
programming looks like....

ORTHOPLAN /FACTORS=
    BRAND 'Brand Name' (1 'A*' 2 'B*' 3 'C*' 4 'D*' 5 'E*' 6 'F*')
    PRICE 'Price' ('$7.99' '$9.99' '$11.99' '$13.99' '$15.99')
    FORMAT 'Formatted' (1 'Yes' 2 'No')
    /HOLDOUT=4.

And produces (with the default seed) 49 experimental cards.  That seems
like a lot considering I started with only 60 possible.  Furthermore, 49
alternatives is also too many cards to digest.

   Question #2 -  If I use a card sort procedure and have each respondent
rank order a random subset (say 6 cards) I assume that SPSS will treat the
others as missing.  Is there a problem with that?

OR ...

since the researcher really wants all the levels of each factor retained in
the study, can I randomly assign a subset of the levels and create several
mini-studies using the entire orthogonal array for each mini-study?  For
example, if I use a 3 x 2 x 2 design I end up with only 9 cards.  I could
randomly generate all the possible subsets and have subjects card sort and
then somehow combine the results of the "mini-studies:....?

I appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with designing and/or
conducting a conjoint study....  TIA  :-)
