Sorry about the misspellings. They are mostly typo's but I should have
used  a spell checker. I am not going to use this as a class exercise
in the foreseeable future. BTW you misspelled mono-spaced ;-)

First Law of the Interent, eh?

Did you get the statistical perspective to answer your questions. At one
point ISTR that you were asking about attributable risk. I don't think
that the Tomsky invocation of Bayes' Theorem actually gives you AR. In
epidemiology there are several terms that are used to describe the excess
risk for condition X associated with exposure Y. Attributable risk and
attributable risk percent are distinct concepts. Are you still looking
for something along those lines?

Yep!

I don't mean to be ungrateful but it kind of amazes me that we are on
message 27 and my questions really haven't been answered yet ;-)

We've had our fun. We are not here just for you, you know.

I don't mean to be ungracious, but it seems to me
that you must have missed my message of Dec. 29.

I described how to lay out your data to allow inference,
what cells to look at, and also that you should Search
for an explication of attributable risk.

It seems to me you have an unrealistic notion of what
sort of answer you should expect from a Usenet group,
for questions that do resemble homework.
