It just has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on whether SBS is a success, because the numbers from the prior year ARE SBS AS WELL.There will be other lines which you can use current data for to look at whether SBS is a success, but only immediately after they are converted to SBS. After that, you will be stuck using old numbers if you have any desire to make a meaningful comparison. If ridership increased on every SBS line last year, and ridership had gone down on every SBS line immediately after they were converted, SBS would be a failure. Control treatments are by definition not variables. Take a math/science course somewhere on either experimental design or data analysis and you will likely make arguments which sound less ridiculous. |
