Geoffrey Dean has completed a thorough analysis of the statistical results of one of the tests outlined in the book. I am currently having his analysis checked by an independent third party with a background in statistical computing, consulting on statistics for experimental analysis, and a close association with the Journal of Scientific Exploration.
I am waiting for this confirmation to come back before announcing the results of Mr Dean’s analysis, so that I have a more complete understanding of the statistical nuts and bolts involved.
I will say two things that are clear from Geoffrey’s assistance: my knowledge of statistics came up a little short, and my original, ‘amateur’ analysis may have been inadequate. Despite this, the outcome of one of the tests seems to have produced a significant result, which means that further testing is going to become crucial.
I have learned not to take anything on face value, but to be as thorough as humanly possible. Besides, it is always a good idea to get a second opinion, especially when the health of a certain theory comes under scrutiny.
When the results become available, I will post them here.
