RE: "Are you a statistician?"



Jim,

I am glad he has your blessings to comment and disagree.  I find this whole

process of posturing to be very tiresome.  Particularly when others joining,

and only do so to express their own views over and over again.

Dr. Nelson responded to me privately rather quickly after I bounced the "Are

you

a statistician?" question back at him with the information that he is recent

Ph.D. in Epidemiology with 35 hours of Biostatistics coursework.  He said

the

Cohen radon data/analysis debate had been studied as a class project in

Advanced

Epidemiology.  He did not indicate where his degree is from or who was

teaching

the Advanced Epi course.



I think that is a sufficient basis for an interesting discussion about radon

epidemiology, if Dr. Nelson can get past pulling rank and belittling those

who

disagree with him.



Best regards.

But at least it's the "Emperor with no clothes" costume! :-)
