AI Thread Summary
There is no dedicated statistics forum at Physics Forums (PF), leading to questions about its absence given the importance of statistical knowledge in science. Statistics is addressed within the mathematics forums and in the Atomic, Molecular, and Solid State Physics forum, where statistical physics topics are discussed. The community acknowledges the relevance of statistics but suggests it is integrated into existing categories rather than as a standalone forum. This integration may limit focused discussions on statistical conventions and analysis. Overall, the need for a dedicated statistics forum remains a topic of interest among members.

Besides the math forums (which deals with statistics as a subject matter), statistical physics topics are included in the Atomic, Molecular, and Solid State Physics forum.

So yes, to answer your question, we DO have forums for statistics!

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
