Robert Timothy Reagan
April 1, 2002

The prototype, prepared for a symposium on teaching statistics to judges, presents Fisher's exact, chi-squared, and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses in a hypothetical example of age discrimination litigation. The prototype also discusses odds ratios, expected values, and p-values. Eleven distinguished experts provide comments and reviews (Orley Ashenfelter, David W. Barnes, John M. Conley, Shari Seidman Diamond, William B. Fairley, David A. Freedman, Joseph L. Gastwirth, Dale A. Nance, Marc Rosenblum, Michael J. Saks, Sheldon L. Trubatch).
