Research Papers and other Documents

Coming soon -- some experiences with Lan Server for Macintosh, IBM's product that turns Lan Server into an AppleTalk host. First impression: the most undermarketted product ever!

My primary research interests are multivariate analysis, distribution testing, and various problems in applied statistics. Below is a very partial list of papers and documents. I hope to make each section more complete at some point.

Fisher Information for Location as a Dimension Reduction Criterion and Multivariate Normality Test: postscript version. I hope to have an HTML version available soon. There's also a gzipped postscript copy.
An algorithm for estimating Weibull mixture distributions ... not available yet.

In addition to academic statistical papers, I have a series of white papers on computer use. These have been used for training sessions with clients, university classes, and general internet community use.

Tips for Writing Minitab "Execs"
Tips for Integrating Minitab With Word Processors
IROS2 - series of notes written to some new OS/2 and TCP/IP users.
The ORIGINAL SLIP for OS/2 Frequently Asked Questions List! - July 1994, pre-Warp, but still mostly relevent.
Stay tuned as more existing documents get HTMLized and new papers are written.

Then there's the miscellaneous software I've released to the world -- some statistical, some utility.

PopCliD - popclient daemon for OS/2. Retrieve mail from a POP mail server for use to LaMail, UltiMail, or Elm (or any mailer compatible with one of these). You can download the zip or read the docs. The original popclient (i.e., the Unix version) has been updated to version 3, but so far I have not had time to work on the port. If anyone wants to help on this, it will be gladly accepted.
psnup - OS/2 port of unix shell script and postscript wrapper for printing postscript n-up, i.e., printing n virtual pages per physical page. n can be 2, 4, 8, or 16. You can download the zip file from hobbes.nmsu.edu or get it from here. You'll also find a tutorial on postscript. Note that there is now a complete psutils for OS/2 that includes a binary (.exe) psnup. It is on hobbes.
Kernel regression macros for Minitab - These are rather old, but I don't think I'll get around to updating them in the near future. They are actually "EXECS" not "MACROS" (in Release 9+ terminology).
Probably some others I don't remember now. Take a look at directory itself, if you like.
