Re: [RC] Accurate Records (was: Pull codes etc.) - k s swigartTruman said: BTW for a database to be useful for research it does not have to absolutely correct. No database with human intervention in the input will be perfect. The errors need to random and without any systematic bias. The errors in the pull codes in the AERC database are not random or without bias. They are skewed towards "RO." And this bias will continue for as long as anything other than an RO is considered a punishment. With a database as large as the AERC's a fairly high error rate could be tolerated. However, the 40% that Allison reports is more than just "fairly high." kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
