Abstract
When first asked to speak on experimental design problems in the quantitative evaluation of atherosclerosis, particularly in progression/regression studies, my reaction was that I didn’t know enough about the area to do it justice. I still don’t. (Of course, I knew about least squares regression but least squares progression was not in my statistical vocabulary.)
