Re: Re[2]: STATISTICAL FREE RELEASE RAD SURVEYING TECHNIQUES.

["Michael P. Grissom" <mikeg@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>]

There was quite a bit of discussion on this at the DOE Third 
National Meeting on the Radshipping Moratorium held at Salt Lake
City, Utah, April 7-8, 1993.  Unfortunately, I do not believe
an official proceedings was published (at least to my knowledge).

Issues that were particularly contentious were MDA, DL, and
uses of parametric versus non-parametric statistical techniques.  
Our delegation had fairly strong thoughts on this.  I believe
that less is definitely known in this area than we were
taught in HP school!

There is more than enough discussion/debate to support a full
day seminar, again in my opinion.
