Format/Structure: Collection of the Data

Collection of the Data: Description of the research involved. The description may be a separate section or it may be incorporated into the Methods section.

Sample collection of the data:
The genetic distances were logged to reduce skewness and kurtosis. First, the unadjusted correlations between genetic distances and geographic and linguistic distances were calculated. The logged genetic distances were then regressed on the matching geographic distances. The residual from the regression line was also calculated. This represents the degree to which the genetic distance is either greater or less than would be expected given the geographic distance. This value was then related to the degree of linguistic affinity.
