[QUOTE="StatGuy2000, post: 6056130, member: 339302"] To the OP: As a statistician I personally find the following topics on your list to be of particular interest: [B]-Discrete Markov Chains -Probability of binarity in a section of the sky -The Weibull distribution and its applications -The Half Normal Distribution -The Folded Normal Distribution (note these 2 are closely related where the 1 is a special case of the 2) -Taguchi Methods For Design of Experiments (applications and how they differ from classical DOE designs)[/B] Discrete Markov chains have a broad range of scientific applications from physics (where it appears extensively in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics; furthermore, the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics are Markov chains as well), computer science (where it is used in pattern recognition, information theory, speech recognition, and bioinformatics), statistics, economics, among many others. As someone who is actively involved in the design of experiments, the Taguchi methods are very useful, and are frequently used by engineers, and likely useful for experimental physicists to know as well. The other topics above are all part of probability theory, which all play important roles in both physics and statistics, among other areas. [/QUOTE]
