Forwarded by:   	omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx

        There has been some interest in pattern recognition on the list
lately.  In that vein, some folks at the NY Fed have published quite a bit
of work looking at the "head and shoulders" pattern.  Carol Osler has been
doing this since 1994, at least. If interested (the few, the proud, the
brave...) follow this link:

Enter "osler" in the AUTHOR section of the search input (or try
"shoulder" in the KEYWORD section). It should take you to a list of
about 4 or 5 of her papers. I know the 1998 paper is available online in
pdf format. The others (and they appear more interesting) will probably
require a trip to the library.

It might be interesting to see, at least, how they go about defining the
pattern. They may even  show some computer code, eh?

Best Regards,
