dear allstaters, some days ago Norman Marsh sent an email to the allstat list concerning critique of the so called "HIV - hypothesis". i'd like to get some information on how professional statisticians see the point. i wasn't quite able to distinguish serious scientific critique and laymen's thought in the references and further URLs (aidsgate etc.) that he provided. there seems to be some good work but it is also mixed with strange notions. any comments welcome. dietrich alte ------------------------------------------------------------- Dietrich Alte, Diplom-Statistiker Universitaet Greifswald Institut fuer Epidemiologie und Sozialmedizin Organisationszentrum Community Medicine Walther-Rathenau-Str. 48 17487 Greifswald Germany phone +49 (0) 3834 - 86 77 13 fax +49 (0) 3834 - 86 66 84 email [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
