Chapter 1Tom Knapp pointed out that we should have cited a more recent paper by Levin (American Statistician, 1993, 47, 24-26) that illustrates the concept of regression toward the mean.
Tom Knapp pointed out that on page 12, we say that "we believe that we are the first to feature it [a pair-link diagram] as an alternative to a scatter plot". It was actually used by Stanley in his 1964 textbook, Measurement in Today's Schools (see his Figure 3-11, p. 96).
Chapter 2Eric Lundquist and Jay Thomas pointed out that the Z score formulas have X and Y in the wrong formulas on page 25.
Chapter 3The proper spelling is Cal Ripken Jr. on page 42.
On pages 49-50, we discuss various probabilities of persons who score two
or more standard deviations above the mean. We determined those probabilitys
by computer simulation. The text seems to imply a formula for those
probabilities. If there is such a formula, I do not know it.
Chapter 5The warning on page 85 is wrong. The terms "smaller" and "larger" should be reversed. Thanks to Feifei Ye for pointing out this very embarassing error.
Chapter 6The bottom formula on page 88 has a serious typo. Before the last term in the denominator, there should be a minus not a plus sign. So it should read - 2rs(x)s(y) where (x) means subscripted. Thanks to my colleague Irv Kirsch for alterting me to this.
Chapter 8It might have helped to say that the expected change in means over time given an autoregressive model and stationarity is exponential.
Chapter 10Jay Thomas pointed out that on page 162, the McNemar test is missing parentheses around the 21 + 16.
