Dear Tom,
Thanks for these interesting and positive comments. I apologize for
forgetting the obvious reference to Carsten's reference manual. I will
definitely include it in the next version.
I hope that people in my field will come to think the way you do about
sharing their raw data. I'm just afraid that the way is still long…
but the goal is reachable. Raw data aside, org-mode is surely a tool
which should help people experimenting with the "reproducible research
paradigm". As I wrote to Eric (Schulte), M. Delescluse and I wrote a
first RR manuscript 6 years ago based on R/Sweave. The manuscript
never got submitted for different reasons, among them, the amount of
work required to learn R and LaTeX. Learning about org-mode convinced
me that it would be worth re-activating the project.
Christophe
Most people are not natural-born statisticians. Left to our own
devices we are not very good at picking out patterns from a sea of
noisy data. To put it another way, we are all too good at picking out
non-existent patterns that happen to suit our purposes.
