The Schartz-Metterclume Method

This article describes a parsimonious statistical method for deducing everything that can be known about the unknown by analysing anything that happens to be known about the known. Schartz Metterclume (SM) is a revolutionary new breakthrough in the social sciences that builds upon the synergies of higher mathematics, discourse analysis, rational choice and neo-postdistanciationalist theory. Exhaustive testing of the method shows that it unfailingly produces correct estimates of the causal effects of unknown variables. Indeed the less that is known about the phenomenon under investigation in the first place, the more precise and robust the statistical results of SM are.

A brief layman’s account of a parsimonious statistical method of deducing everything that can be known about the unknown by analysing anything that happens to be known about the known.

SM = BS2

Key Words: BS • omniscience • rice pudding • Schartz-Metterclume
