More remarks: On p. 69, the quadratic fits provide good $R^2$ values, but the overlaying the fitted graphs on top of the scatterplot you have in Figure 5.1 might not look so good. The quadratic functions are the best we can do with only 16 datapoints, but they are inadequate. Each is a parabola that approaches infinity as ef increases, which is clearly not right. However, they may serve as reasonable fits for the restricted range of ef considered here. On p. 74, last sentence, you mention Figures 5.6-5.9. These figures are called empirical distribution functions of fiber diameter measurements. While it is true that the means from these distributions appear to decrease monotonically with ef for each concentration, the same cannot quite be said for the right tails of the distributions for concentrations 21% and 25%. Figures 5.6 and 5.8 have some crossing of the cdfs at the 90th percentile. I might say something like "Empirical cumulative distribution functions for fiber diameters at each combination of electric field and concentration are shown in Figures 5.6-5.9. These augment the analysis of the means in Figure 5.1 and provide more evidence that diameter decreases with electric field at each concentration." A comment I have for you, but not for inclusion in the manuscript: - The slight crossing of the functions in the right tails of the distributions may be due to sampling error. The software used to generate these empirical CDFs does not report number of fiber diameters measured. Without such a sample size, statistical comparisons of distribution functions is not possible. A question: in Figure 5.10, you have the distn of fiber diameter from each concentration at ef=1.0. Why don't you have means from these ef*conc combinations to use in Figure 5.1? Figures 5.14-5.17 are fine, and so are their descriptions on p.82. They are called histograms, and you may want to say this in the text. Why did you switch gears from plotting histograms of orientation angles, but empirical cumulative distribution functions for diameters? Just curious. ***** The data plotted in Figure 5.20 do not appear to agree with those listed on p. 125. Are they supposed to? The F-ratio for interaction of conc & ef on mean anisotropy should be based on 3 numerator degrees of freedom if there are 4 concentrations, and 2 if there are 3 concentrations (there are only three plotted in Figure 5.20). ***** Bottom of p. 88 should read something like "Avg. pore diameter and basis weight are both plotted together against electric field in Figures 5.22-5.24." There are some typos on p. 98-99. They're my fault: p. 98, 3rd paragraph, 1st sentence: "Partial correlation . . . associations between pairS of response variables ..." p. 98, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence: The SQUARED partial correlation . . . is r^2_{APD,AFD;model}=0.207 p. 98, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence: The SQUARED partial correlation . . . is r^2_{APD,AR;model}=0.0127. p. 98, 3rd paragraph, last sentence: "Niether of these correlationS are ..." p. 99, 1st paragraph, 1st sentence: "the linear association goes away AFTER dependence on electric ..."
