| Abstract: | We discuss the methodology to use in searching for statistical relationships between catastrophic events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on the one hand and astronomical or geographic data on the other. It is pointed out that data should necessarily be normalized before doing statistical probabilistic analyses. Examples of studies are provided whose authors arrive at certainly false inferences owing to the absence of a correct normalization. |
