Entry: Statistical Perils in Hitchhiking; Part One Regression to the Mean - A87780946
Author: BeowulfShaffer - U10890736

I mostly need advice on how to integrate/cite some papers I've seen on regression to the mean, and to know wether the Nababa introduction works. Other comments are welcome, but those are my main concerns.
I already mention on psychological study and am think about adding some more.
I think I messed up trying to submit this earlier so sorry if there are two threads or anything like that.

Personally I think I wouldn't use the Nababa introduction if you want this to make it into the Edited Guide. I'd have an introduction explaining what Regression to the Mean is, and possibly even rename the article, either to 'Statistical Perils Part One: Regression to the Mean' or simply 'Regression to the Mean'.

You can still have a paragraph about the fictional Nababa people used as an example demonstrating what Regression to the Mean is, but if you are writing a factual entry I'd adopt a factual opening paragraph, and make it obvious about what sections are fact and which are fiction/illustrations.

The Nababa intro does not work.

Picture a person who really needs this information in order to pass a quiz for their Fundamentals of Statistics class tomorrow morning.

Please put yourself in the shoes of that person, and arrange the elements of your essay in the order that person would find most useful.

If it isn't useful, toss it out ruthlessly.

Looks like the author has ed.

I'd like to propose Back to Entry.
