Statistics for Dummies

An SI Board Since August 2002

Emcee: HighTech	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

Just dropping in off of vacation to add this new board. Anyone who uses statistics in their job or work or for investing, please feel free to become the guru of the board.

I would like this to be a place for asking questions and learning about applied statistics.

I will be on lurk mode for the most part, but will chime in when and if necessary.
