I have updated my DMC production chronology analysis with all the new data that has become available as a result of the recently issued DOD as well as the data submitted over the last period to the survey (plus some additional data obtained from other trusted sources). You can find the chronology analysis writeup on www.dmcnews.com (there is a link at the bottom of the front page). The chronology analysis is an attempt to address some of the long outstanding questions regarding the number of cars manufactured plus the mix of interior colors and transmission types produced. It also examines the production rate over the entire production period as well as a few other interesting statistics. The analysis is based on the DOD survey data collected from www.dmcnews.com and uses well known statistical methods to estimate the characteristics of the entire DMC "population" based on the sample subset. The survey data used for the analysis is inconsistent with the commonly reported number of 8583 cars being manufactured, and the sample size is sufficient for a high degree of certainty. I would be very interested in knowing the source of the commonly reported figure, as I have been unable to find the source from which this figure has been derived. If you have suggestions for other statistically robust analysis techniques or have recommendations for areas of improvement, I always welcome suggestions. The best way to improve the accuracy of the analysis is to improve the accuracy and sample size for the data used in the analysis. I will periodically revisit and update the analysis as additional data becomes available from the survey and DOD. Knut
