متن يادداشت
I n most planning programs, ''methods'' mean statistics. I n a 1 983 survey of 71 North American planning schools, E.H. Baxter found that statistics, chiefly inferential statistics, formed the core component of first-year planning methods classes in almost all of the planning pro grams surveyed ( 1 983). What explains this popularity? Statistics, I sus pect, has much the same appeal as a succesfs ul political candidate - although exciting to only a few, it is nontheless acceptable to many.
