- I think Howard's response to Daisy Hsu's data management question was
- great, but I have one comment. The original posting was unclear to me
- regarding whether the three data sets contained separate data (in
- different formats) or whether it was the SAME data in different formats.
- Howard (I think) is assuming it was separate data that needed to be
- combined (hence SET SUB1 SUB2 SUB3; ...). I can readily see why one
- would assume that, but my first reaction was that maybe files two and
- three were themselves re-arrangements of file number one.
-
- I asked Daisy about this, but I didn't get any response.
