another similar sample, and another, and another, and worked out estimates from

Of course, estimates which are definitely based on samples should be easier to '
place' in this respect, because they should ... As a very rough rule of thumb, one
can say that if we are presented with two estimates of something, each with their

Then one has to try to put into the model quantitative estimates of the strengths of
interactions between the factors; for instance what effect has pollution on
population? These interaction effects ('multipliers' in the system-builder's jargon)
