I have a bigger problem now. If they are doing this in R why in the name of all that is holy would they then plot the data in Excel?!

Thanks!
blutto said:...so let me get this straight, you joined this lynch mob on what amounts to a guess ? ( and maybe a predisposition based on a personal dislike ? )....if true, I really feel for you, because unfortunately, you may have been born into the wrong century....

Almeisan said:Tell us again you have a PhD. Tell us again only you and Coggan have one.
Almeisan said:Maybe that's why you decided we had to clash. One lazy average intelligence, the other someone a bit more exalted.
Changing the subject? It was you that decided someone had to be bullied crudely. I merely didn't act like it didn't happen.
So far you only sound like some failed bitter authority-defending pseudo-intellectual.

blutto said:...kinda telling that you would change the subject.....and to that of all things...
....so to deal with your deep-seated(?) issues with degrees....now, I'm not a therapist, but the following may help alleviate your phobia problems......the world is ankle deep in Ph.D.'s....and frankly in most cases there is nothing super special about the person behind the degree, save for perhaps, high levels of perseverance, and the ability to take a lot of $hit and survive/understand the academic world behind the curtain ( which is, in some instances, even dumber and more venial, than this forum )...
.....I have, for example, tremendous respect for the plumber, the electrician, and the carpenter we have used around our home, and most of the trades people that I deal with at work (probably very much contrary to what you and the "us little people" crowd seem to be trying to imply or would like to believe....)....I do, however, have zero tolerance for $hitty work at any and all levels....and btw none of the aforementioned requires a Ph.D. to figure out, just some bog standard intelligence leavened with a hearty dollop of common sense ( which, btw, is the thing that seems most often to be found missing around here )....
Cheers
Almeisan said:By the way, even a plumber will realize you are slighting them if you use language like that. You need to be much more subtle with your insults if you decide to avoid bluntness.
That could be the case, you have a PhD in sewagery ie water and sanitation. It would explain the odd nature of your metaphors as well as explain why you are here.
By the way, even when you have a PhD, like 33% of all the internets, that doesn't mean you can come to this place, drunk or under influence of something even stronger, and just spill out random thoughts or string together statements, without any coherence or meaning, and not be called out 'by us little people' for the fool that you are.
Zero tolerance!
That often seems to be the problem with scientists like Coggins, they just dont know for sure. On the other hand scientists like Coggins are happy to sell their ideas for sure, till they get 'exposed'.MarkvW said:Take a look at the link Race Radio posted. The criticism is back up on a different site. It's time for Coggan to put up or shut up.
Race Radio said:Wondering what Coggan is crying about?
Here it is, with lots of Fair Use declaimers

Night Rider said:Just to be completely clear this is actually a new reworked video, not the original that started this thread.
This latest post of Mike's is a reasonable use of the original material he is commenting on, if he was prepared to defend his position I would imagine Mike would win. YouTube would remove it if there was a complaint though and he would have to submit his request to have it put back up. Or just post it on Vimeo, they have a much fairer policy.
ChewbaccaD said:He already learned it apparently. You are the one who couldn't take the criticism...tells me he might have been close to the mark with his observations.
I smell a coward.
