Kim, There I did it. I sent an e-mail to him via the e-mail address he included in his post. Here is a copy of that e-mail:

Dr. Fretwell,

The entire conversation on Yorkie Talk centers around the topic of statistical verification.

Can you please provide to me the following information?
1. What are your Type I error rates?
2. What are your Type II error rates?
3. What are your 90% and your 95% confidence intervals.

If you need to break the numbers down by breed, that would be ok. Do not be afraid to be specific. I teach statistics on the university level, so I can handle the numbers!

Thank you (in advance)
csagan001 (on Yorkie Talk).

I hope he responds either here or to my e-mail address. If he does, and actually provides data, perhaps we can put this matter to rest. However, if he does not respond, or does not provide the data, then his actions indict the validity of the test.

BTW -- I am not whoever the previous, rather nasty, poster said I was, "Dan"--I am not "Dan" I am named after my father. My father's name was "Clark". The only person that my mother knew who was named "Dan" was Father Daniel O'Donahue, a priest from the nearby Catholic Church.
