Working on it...following a line of reasoning that covariance explains unnormed variability of the relationship from event to event -- rather than the normalized relationship described as the correlation. But I am tracking down some original source explanation and then there is that whole, have to work, go to meetings blah blah blah. :-) Geek alert! this is fun.

Tina... that hurt. My math problems go like this... I have 4 sets of wheels and 3 bikes. 3 wheels are shimano and 1 is campy. 3 of the 4 wheelsets are Mavic so I can swap the free hub body to which ever I need. 1 wheelset is tublar carbons. I don't like 2 of the four wheelsets. So should I sell two and get one, and if so, a deep rimed carbon tubular, a deep rimmed carbon clincher, a good lighter weight set of handbuilts on good aluminum rims, or shallow carbon clinchers or shallow carbon tubulars.

OK, I understand how to read the correlations output (between -1 and 1), but, when I do a covariance analysis (I'm only using two sets of data), what does THAT output mean? In other words, how do I read it? (I tried googling, but all I found was how to calculate it by hand and not really anything on HOW to read the output)

I had only one dreadmill workout a couple years ago when it was dumping snow outside. 4 hrs. But I had a great nordic session before that, so it all balanced out. since then I've only had one 33 mile run in sub-freezing temps, snowing, and wind. But that was kinda fun actually. :-)

Went to Savers today and picked up some sweet 70's disco threads for the MO ball on the 30th.

Facial hair is annoying. We all sort of look like child molesters.
