I came across this article, called "Ten Simple Rules for Effective Statistical Practice", and thought it was monumental in its importance for understanding statistics and using it practically, particularly in science. I hope you enjoy it!

This article provides ten simple rules for effective statistical practice. The rules are designed to help researchers understand and apply statistical principles, avoiding common pitfalls and ensuring the scientific validity of research findings. The authors stress the importance of aligning statistical methods with scientific questions, considering data quality, checking assumptions, reporting variability, and replicating results. They also emphasize the importance of collaboration with statisticians and the value of reproducible research.

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
