<p>With regards to <a href="http://mat.tepper.cmu.edu/blog/?p=1024" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a>. I have collected a number of datasets for different contributing variables to homicide incidents. I would like to know which of these variables is significantly contributing to the number of homicide in the area. I was planning to use our archaic friend, ANOVA, to see if there is any significant effect from each of these variables and then include the dominating ones in my model.</p> <p>I just want to know if there is any better (or perhaps more modern) tool to find good signals. perhaps Bayesian Inference? :)</p>
