THE project

A 6 inch stack of photocopied or printed primary literature,
80 scanned and captured images,
34 usable taxa,
comprising 8 major groups
and 4 recognizable morphological groups,
measured for over 50 variables
to produce over 2000 pieces of raw data,
filtered to produce 38 informative variables,
then analyzed to produce 190 pieces of basic statistical information
and 703 pairwise plots as a preliminary test of correlation
from which at least 6 groups of complexly interrelated variables have been found
by 1 student
who is only 1/2 done
and receiving 0 university credit for it.
