Abstract

"For five long days of hearings in June, two professors expounded on their theories of data collection, statistical models, and multiple regressions. It was enough to make a judge wish he were back in the parchment-filled days of Dickens's Dombey and Son. But like it or not, lawsuits are beginning to revolve around statistical computer models. And nowhere are they more prevalent than in discrimination suits."'¹
