The authors of this paper setup a statistical model in order to study "Generative processes and similarity," (their words). Do you believe that a statistical model is an effective way to study similarity within and among generative processes?
If so, I would enjoy hearing of your experience: how have you applied statistics in SCRUM, for example. Otherwise, what improved study mode might you recommend to one who studies the art of generative change?
