While from a statistical point of view this is a relatively small sample size of images, when appropriate statistics were performed such as nonparametric statistics for small samples, the difference was statistically significant: p

I considered running the nonparametric estimates, but it seemed like econometric overkill.

You * have* to use Sala-i-Martin's nonparametric method to summarise the regression results for this reason.

Other comments: Sala-i-Martin's nonparametric tests aren't "econometric overkill"; they're more or less the only way that you can consistently estimate the cdf.

The data used to produce your figure IV makes it look as if you've done more or less all the number-crunching you need in order to do the nonparametric test so I don't understand why you don't just bite the bullet and do it.

However, because it is unclear how to assess independence of a specific cultural practice, such as spice use, and because our sample was so broad (representing every continent and 16 of the world's 19 major linguistic groups [Ruhlen 1987]), we treated all countries as if they were independent and used nonparametric analyses.
