>>Statisticians use the phrase "statistically proven" to describe a case where the chance factor has been reduced to a degree where it is statistically indistiguishable fom the zero-point. Exactly where that threshold might be in a phenomena such as what we have I am hoping to learn.
The key thing here is that whether or not the AE's actually intended to represent Orion. This is outside of the realm of statistical analysis.
I still don't see how correlation helps you. I still think that RB & AG's The Orion Mystery is a better way to go......
But I think I'll bow to Stephen Tonkin's expertise on this - and just read the debate between you and him - (I'm sure Stephen is right on this.)
