Antwoord aan E. Bijnen en J. Praagman

Samenvatting

In his Antwoord aan E. Bijnen en J. Praagman (Answer to E. Bijnen and J. Praagman), Adriaanse defends his definitions of "random sample" & of "independence" (per se) as opposed to his critics' concept of statistical independence. He maintains that associative measures in smaller populations are of smaller theoretical significance than in larger populations. Using an imaginary example, he shows how a r between two independent variables can be shown to be spurious by a statistical significance test. A. Orianne.
