It should be noted that if there is no relationship between the CNV and the
corresponding WF , or the relationship is nonlinear (that is, the null hypothesis is
true), this operation of including linearly interpolated (or extrapolated) observa-
tions would add noise and thus cause the null hypothesis to be accepted with
higher probability.
Conversely, if the alternative hypothesis is true, and there is a linear relation-
ship between CNV and WF, generating observations via linear interpolation or
extrapolation (to be added to the basic set) would increase the probability of
rejecting the null hypothesis. In either cases, the added observations would render
the conclusions derived from the analysis more powerful.
Analysis II: Statistical Analysis Based on the Basic Set
Only observations in the basic set are included in the analysis. Justification for this
set is in subsection 12.3.2.
Analysis III: Further Analyses
Since, unlike all other observations in the basic set, the “red” observation is on
the extreme margin of the visible spectrum (the upper margin of wavelength), the
definition of its representative WF , to be used in the regression analysis, is open to
debate. Therefore, in this third statistical analysis, only observations (in the basic
set) internal to the visible spectrum are used.
Some other analyses that are executed at this part of the analysis will be detailed
later (section 12.3.3).
The various stages of the analysis will now be detailed. The reader is kindly
requested to persevere with reading the pursuing analyses, irrespective of how
bizarre they may look. The validity of these analyses is established via implemen-
tation of rigorous statistical principles.
12.3.2 Preparation of the Samples (Stage 2)
Selecting the Basic Set of Observations
Based on a thorough search of a Bible concordance, only the following biblical
color names, corresponding to the elementary colors in Table 12.1, were deemed
as having clear, undebatable Hebrew meanings.
