Re: Confederate States

[BERNARD L COHEN <blc+@PITT.EDU>]

	Deleting the states you specify reduces the number in the data

base from 1601 to 1175. The results for the slope, B, are -7.2+/-0.6 for

males and -9.1+/-0.9 for females. These differ very little from my results

for all 1601 counties, B=-7.3 for males and B=-8.3 for females, but they

are very discrepant from the LNT prediction, B=+7.3
