Talk:Sparsity-of-effects principle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • There is clearly some confusion here about the difference between the sparsity-of-effects principle and what I have learned as either the main effects principle or the hierarchical ordering principle. My recent edit to this page is an attempt to begin a reconciliation. I have sourced my reasoning. Ideally I think this page should be forked into two pages, one for the main effects principle and one for the hierarchical ordering principle. It would probably also be a good idea to bring in some examples of both of these principles. --Statwizard 20:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
