Butch's attachment post has the types of information and references to other sources that have gone before you, and are of the type I've been using for a long time. While your stuff is interesting and informative for you and me as well, it appears that you, like many others in a way that's becoming more common, have not looked for or noticed what's already been done in an area of research and are reinventing the wheel or covering ground that's already been travelled.
I personally found Wu and Xiong's approach (http://ijlct.oxfordjournals.org/cont...5/ijlct.ctu013) to be quite clever. They had a conservative ROI of 14 years, but as I was not even interested in ROI (see my first post in this thread), I wanted to try something more like Moharram et al. (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...90447913000403). This was more straightforward to put together with the materials more readily available. I also don't see any problem in covering ground that has already been covered. In the scientific disciplines (where I'm coming from) it is in fact vital.
That's one theme I and others have been posting about in this thread, and maybe why Butch's 0903 A.M. post is due an attoboy for elegantly saying/showing the same without the histrionics.
