Don't know if other translators (or other interested people) know about this, there are translations of many statistical terms on http://isi.cbs.nl/glossary/, which may be a useful standard. But still some things are difficult to translate at least for me; for example the suggested German ISI-term for "within-group variance" is "Binnen-Varianz", which makes a lot of sense once you know what it means and is short and concise, but I doubt I would have guessed its meaning, because I have never heard or read it in connection with panel models. (The reason for that probably is that the literature is in English only.) So in the end I opted to always use "Inter-" for "between" stuff, and "Intra-" for "within". Of course this is actually Latin instead of German, so I am not 100% sure it really adds value compared to just leaving things in English... What do others think? Thanks, Sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users I think that if the german denomination makes a sense--as it seems it does --, better keep it despite its uncommon use. There's a hope, it will help people to substitute for the eenglish terms. Anyway, inter and intra will work much better than leaving stuffs in English. At my opinion, the translation's usefulness is to coin words as well. Best, Artur --------------------------------- Découvrez une nouvelle façon d'obtenir des réponses à toutes vos questions !
