Hi Dirk,

This example compares integration software in combination with the
scaling program, which is what usually happens. Obviously, the scaling
program does more than just scaling, it also handles rejections. It is
possibly this procedure that makes most of the difference. For
example, the default settings for rejections in scala are quite
lenient (i.e. very few observations are rejected). We have some
indication that changing these defaults makes some difference to the
success or otherwise of phasing, but we have not looked at this in
enough detail to say there is 'evidence'. Maybe one day.......

Cheers,

Johan
