For the moment your linked comment (for which thanks) uses the "correcting for SES" argument. I have concerns about this procedure, and will post about it once I have finished all the conference stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-25901349294706703452014-05-07T15:40:00.898+01:002014-05-07T15:40:00.898+01:00I like my slightly different version better:
