As someone who has been advocating “living beyond one’s means” since before the Reagan administration, I welcome Thomas’s endorsement of the idea. If we embrace the maxim that statistics is about variation then we should stand ready to explore how that variation varies with covariates.

متن کاملLiving beyond our "means": new methods for comparing distributions.
This paper introduces the projection methods for describing and testing the differences between pairs of continuous distributions. These methods include the projection plot, the projection spline, and the iter-1 test. The projection plot displays the difference between corresponding quantiles against the average of the corresponding quantiles. It is analogous to an empirical quantile-quantile p...

This paper explores the savings needs of France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom on the assumption that each cohort is self-sufficient. Cross-section profiles for labour income and consumption (taking public and private consumption together) are used. They are adjusted for trend growth with the consumption profile being scaled so that the life-time budget constraint for the youngest cohort ...
متن کاملLiving beyond our physiological means: small vessel disease of the brain is an expression of a systemic failure in arteriolar function: a unifying hypothesis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is our premise that the pathophysiology of small vessel disease in the brain is similar to small vessel disease in other heavily perfused tissues and that the presence of small vessel disease elsewhere in the body foretells its presence in the brain as well as its consequences on cognitive function. The hypothesis presented in this article is that small vessel disease ...
