						Press Release

This press release is effective immediately on 10/09/2004
as released by Dr. Paul A. Smith via e-mail from the address:  psmith1coe@aol.com.

Find below notably-low word-counts and contrasting word-counts on the two major Official Presidential Candidates' Web-Sites.

The focus here is upon unusually-low word-counts, and upon major-differences between word-counts on the two web sites.

This study and report were prepared by Dr. Paul A. Smith, who served as Secretary of the Iowa Democratic Party during 1974-1978 and served in Iowa as secretary of various Linn County, district, and State Democratic Conventions and/or their Convention Committees on Rules and Nominations in Iowa during 1970 - 2004, and served as Parlimentarian to almost all the Chairs of the Linn County Democratic Party Central Committee during 1970 - 2004, meeting monthly.  Dr. Smith also served a regular term as the Moderator of East Iowa Presbytery, a federation of about 80 Presbyterian USA churches with about 20,000 members; and for about a dozen years as the Iowa Section Representative on the National Council of the American Association of Physics Teachers in the 70's and 80's.  Dr. Smith is honorably retired as Professor Emeritus of Physics, having served Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during 1964-1999.

The following report is based upon a few hundred searches for significant words on the official Kerry and Bush web sites.  This is part of an effort to encourage wide ranging national discussions of many often neglected conflicts and issues of today.  See the website  essayz.com  for many thoughts about often neglected and/or ignored conflicts and issues of today. This report will be made avilable on the home page of the web site essayz.com. 

To minimize inaccuracies, the searches of the Kerry and Bush web-sites were done and re-checked around 9/21/2004 and 10/5/2004.  The two web sites are often updated.  Many word-counts change during each day.   No document reporting word-counts can be fully accurate for more than part of one day.   Please keep that in mind!

The word-counts below are presented in an order which will facilitate comparisons between counts for inter-related words.   Each web-site's default search-engine-rule was used.  Because of differences in the two search engines, the searches have not been done in the same manner, especially in regards to counting word phrases.  Sometimes similarly spelled/sounded words are accepted.  Please keep this in mind!   Counting words does not properly replace actually reading the texts wherein they appear!  However, this report may help you decide what parts of the candidates' web sites you wish to study and compare.

The motivation for starting searches was to find what words were notably absent from the web-sites.   In the light of what was found, the analysis was extended to highlighting the most notable contrasts between the corresponding counts on the two web-sites, using the Chi-Square test of statistical analysis as a rather informal guide.  The "average-count" for a word on both web-sites was used as the "expected" count in computing the Chi-Square statistic.

No quantitative analysis of this kind can by itself point to any clear political significance or meaning.  Please keep that in mind!  However, this analysis may help some intelligent and thoughtful people to identify conflicts and issues which need more attention.  This report focuses upon the following instances regarding words which were searched.  Highlighting of elements in this report have been made using the following guidelines:

1.  Instances of a web-site showing a count of less than 10 is always noted, but there is no highlighting if only one web-site showed has a low count and the Chi-Square Statistic is not 10 or over.  There is highlighting if two web sites show a low count, or if a low count on one websight is combined with: a Chi-Square Statistice of 10 or larger, or there is a low count on the other web-site.

2.  Instances where both web-sites found a chosen word less than 10 times: perhaps because of the use of alternative similar words, instead of the word used here; or perhaps because the candidate's campaign has chosen not to address topics which entail the use of a word focused upon in this word-search-study, etc.  Notably low counts for significant words are reported regardless of the size of the Chi-Square statistic.  The word is highlighted if there are:  (a) Two low counts, (b) One low count and a Chi-Square Statistic of 10 or over, or (c) A Chi-Square Statistic of 100 or over, regardless of low or high individual web-site counts.  

3.  Instances where the difference between the words-counts on the two web-sites for a word is statistically significant --- in terms of the Chi-Square test; regardless of how big or small the word-counts individually are.  If neither web-sits showed a count of less than 10, then the Chi-Square statistic and the word are highlighted only if the Chi-Square Statistic is larger than 100. If one OR two web-sights showed a count of less than 10, and the Chi-Square Statistic is larger than 10, then the word, the low count and the Chi-Square Statistic are all three highlighed.

4.  Instances of the Chi-Square Statistic being 100 or larger, regardless of other considerations, led to highlighting the associated word and the statistic.   Also each low count note is always highlighted. 

In general: the word is highlighted along with the one, two or three indicators which individually or togther suggest that a non-random process has occured; however one low count on one web site does not by itself lead to highlighting the associated word.  Such instances are rare, however.

Suggestion:  Note the highlighted words on the left as related to nearby words.  Then look for the reason the words are or are not highlighted:  (a) Low count(s), maybe with (b) Chi-Square 10 and up, and/or (c) Chi-Square 100 and up.

Toward the right side of the report below are notations which highlight cases where a word count is less than 10 for one or both web site(s).  Noted at the far right is the computed Chi-Square statistic which is the (square of the difference between the two word-counts) divided by (the average of the two word-counts). Some statistics reference books contain tables which indicate the probability that such a difference will occur through random chance processes.  No effort is made here to present instructions for determining such probabilities accurately by using the Chi-Square statistic, but in general, if the Chi-Square statistic here is greater than 10, the associated-difference is likely to be due to some non-random-process.

Obviously, the word-counts for a specific word on the two sites can be identical; yet there be greatly contrasting meanings present.  The differing meanings may be found only by actually reading the two official web sites carefully, to understand the context within which the word appears in each web-site.  Of course it remains to political leaders, analysts and citizens to discern the meanings of any differences between the two web-sites by reading them.

Below note the two headings "Total result" and "Document Count" used on the two candidates' web sites.  The two search engines arrive at word counts on the two web sites in slightly different ways!  We cannot arrive at an accurate measure of the quantitative differences between word usages on two sites, without knowing the details of how the two search-engines each arrive at their counts in each case.  The detailed significance of the informally used Chi-Square Statistic is uncertain for this reason.  Please keep this in mind!

The notations below "Ways to FOCUS" point to words for which: (a) the counts are unusually low and/or; (b) the Chi-Square Statistic has a large value.  Arrows  <= and => call attention to numbers at the left and the right of the arrows.  Lines with Word-counts are totally absent if the sum of the two web-site-counts is OVER 18 and AND the Chi-Square statistic is UNDER 10.  "There is an asterisk "*"  for each of the first four multiples of ten in the Chi-Square statistic.   Bold letters and asterisks call attention to the more unusual instances reported in the lines below.
