paranoid, worried, stressed

[baratron]

I'm feeling a bit paranoid that no one's actually reading my journal. Posted a few things recently (particularly to my Thesis subgroup) that I wanted comments on, and none have been forthcoming. So I'm worried that no one actually likes me but you're all too nice to say so.

In other news I desperately need a statistician, so if you know one, please point them in my direction. Failing that, a physicist who's done a lot of work on self-similarity who's familiar with the Hurst exponent, rescaled range analysis and the aggregated variance technique / variance-time plots. I've posted a plea to sci.stat.edu and consult and sci.fractals, but no bites yet. Depending on the outcome of the thing I'm wibbling about, I might have to redo approximately 50% of the results in my thesis. At this stage, that will take about 2 days (seeing as I now know exactly what I'm doing), but I'd like to know as soon as possible.

The limits of my statistics exposure were one class during grad school (or was it undergrad?) - I think I got okay grades, but other than remembering a fascinating discussion about the Monty Hall problem, and the counterintuitive nature of the most favorable choice, a lot of it's long gone...
