Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A paper examining two recent attempts to analyse a set of data relating to Icenian coin hoards (see also 97/470 & 97/474). The methodology of the second attempt, based on significance tests made on `permillia' data (ie coins per thousand), is shown to be flawed, and its conclusions unfounded. The danger of using analytical statistical techniques without consideration of the assumptions on which they are based, is stressed. Alternative approaches, one analytical and one graphical, are presented: they suggest an interpretation which differs from both the original analyses. | |
