Quote:he Three Barons presents the first use of statistical factor analysis to identify the plotters, using a database of 30 books and 1500 names and examines the military officers allegedly close to the plot, such as NATO Commander Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, General Lauris Norstad, and JFK's advisor, Gen. Maxwell Taylor. For the first time, the National Security Council, its structure and its members, are scrutinized for their obvious role in the JFK plot.
I bought the book to check out the use of factor analysis. I'm interested in any mathematical / statistical modeling of the JFK assassination (if anyone can point out some references, thanks).
I don't believe the author has 'identified the plotters' as described above.
Basically, factor analysis is used by the author to model the correlations the number of times people are mentioned in the same books and with other people based on a reduced sample of books.
I've skimmed the other chapters and found the Nazi backgrounds and connections of some of those mentioned interesting as I hadn't given it much thought or read about it before.
