Hi. I’m a collector in Michigan, and this is my obligatory introduction. I collect classic issues from all countries surrounding the eastern Mediterranean, north and north-east Africa, all Asia except the south-east, and British Empire: stamps, and in some cases postcards and postal history. I’m also a coin collector. But in practice I spend more time on acquiring philatelic and numismatic literature. I belong to a large number of societies too. By profession I’m a retired statistician and astronomy writer.

Hi and welcome jisles,
In my own simple mind, I keep wondering if a statistician would be able to somehow apply factor analysis or something to come up with better separation and identification of color varieties.

...By profession I’m a retired statistician and astronomy writer. I hope you'll consider a shift in focus from writing about astronomy to subjects that are related to philately. Our Newsletter is always on the lookout for new contributors! |

Welcome to TSF, John! Any lover of classic stamps is clearly on my wavelength. Where in Michigan are you? Anywhere near Detroit? I lived in Royal Oak back in 1990-1991, and really liked it. Looking forward to seeing some posts of your favorite stuff. Enjoy your time with us! Best Regards, Chris (aka Beryllium Guy) |
