--------------------- Original Message -------------------- Subject: critics of statistics From: "Luis A. Aviles" <laviles@uprm.edu> Date: Sun, April 30, 2006 12:59 am To: glevy@pratt.edu ----------------------------------------------------------- Dear Jerry: Please, forward the message, I would like to see what comes from it. Let me explain something to you about my interest in the matter. I am currently working in a project in which I present a critique of statistics based on the results of the U.S census conducted in Puerto Rico, as it relates to racial classification. My work criticizes the positivist assumptions of racial statistics. I would like to know of people working in the field of economics, and other fields, who work on issues related to a critique of any aspect of the social production of statistics. As the field of statistics presents itself of being non-ideological, I would like to be familiar with critiques of statistics. Do you know of anyone? Thanks, Luis A.
