Finding Patterns in Data: Is It Really Random?

Harsch, Gunther

School Science Review, v73 n263 p55-63 Dec 1991

The author explains that randomlike serial data of different provenance are shown to contain a hidden common pattern which is governed by a simple law--the "Law of Statistical Relaxation." A model is introduced for illustrating how to interpret this law, and some applications are considered. (PR)
