On th average, how many times do you visit the Stat forum?

[moonman239]

I'm using this data to get an idea of how long it might take to get a thread there answered. So please, for the sake of accuracy, don't joke. I'd imagine that since summertime is here, not many people go there.

You should add a block for having never been there at all.

Why don't you just make the thread and see if it gets answered?

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I don't see how this poll is going to accomplish its stated goal.

 

[EnumaElish]

Ah, a Type-III error. This thread should be moved to Statistics.

Seconded.

You can also look at the # of people currently viewing the forum.

We have a stat forum ?

 

[rootX]

I have never been there even before summer..

 

[kramer733]

I didn't even know we had a stats forum. Can you please link it here?

You're looking for stats about how effectively/quickly your stats questions are going to be answered?

Wow... you sure love... stats...

It's also the set theory and probability forum. It's where threads go to die and crackpots go to pretend to prove Fermat's Last Theorem

Option 5: I have no idea how often.

I browse PF by 'New', regardless of what fora the new threads are posted in. So, if you post, I'll probably see it.

well, i can now say I've been there. and the first thing i see is someone asking about multivariate gaussian distributions and estimation. yikes, been forever since i played with that stuff, and when i did it was always in the context of Kalman Filters. even if i still remembered enough about linear estimators to carry on a conversation about it, i find that i hate stats so much that it's hard to put in the effort to see it from a stats POV. sorry. isn't stats the dismal math?

For some reasons, our vector calculus elce-mag professor believed stat is piece of cake. I found the opposite: maxwell much easier than stat.

Dismal doesn't mean easy, it just means dismal

 

[moonman239]

It's where threads go to die

As is the case with this one thread I saw-was created at least a year ago and never got an answer.

So, am I to assume you are in the same class?

Hmm...stats...that's the field where you develop methods to mathematically justify what your gut already decided was correct, right?

I've been in there before, but it was a long time ago, and I don't remember if it was on purpose, by accident, or to clean up spam.

 

[Mentallic]

Honestly, I was thinking the stats forum was like a place where you can find detailed statistics about physics forums.

There are threads that don't get answered in most forums; you should look at most of the recent threads and see what the success rate was on answering questions

Never knew you're a bayesian, MB
