RESULTS

Data were taken in Princeton by Roger Nelson and York Dobyns, in Durham by Richard Broughton, and in Freiburg by Emil Boller. The combined data comprise 21 5-minute segments from the various locations. For the analysis, the meanshift in each data segment was converted to a Z-score, and that was squared to yield a Chisquare-distributed quantity with one degree of freedom, for which a p-value could be calculated. The following table shows these values, with the experimenter, the location, and the day also indicated. The three days are represented unequally due to scheduling or hardware problems. The numbers or letters following experimenter initials identify particular REG devices.

The last line of the table shows the concatenation across the 21 different datasets. This result, with p = 0.788, is not statistically deviant, and it does not support the pre-stated hypothesis that the output of the various random event generators would deviate from expectation during the times of the Harmonic Convergence meditations.
