While many will feel there is considerable overlap between these two fields of study, it is also clear that many potential participant will have no strong interest in the non-mathematical aspects of statistics, while many others will have no interest in the more technical parts of probability theory that are unnecessary for statistical data analysis. 547: 96:
This project's talk page should be a good place for non project members to discuss Knowledge (XXG)'s general content about probability, and probability theory in particular. Comments on particular articles should ideally go on those articles' talk pages, by the project's talk page might be used to

The above summarises both mathematical probability and mathematical statistics articles. Other potentially useful fields instead of "probability and statistics" are: "mathematical physics" for topics in statistical mechanics; "mathematicians" for biographies.
207:. The project is concerned with a large number of articles relating to probability distributions and it is sensible to adopt a common structure for the content of these, so far as is reasonable: an outline of the suggested structure is presently available via 183:
Expanding coverage to bring the subject up-to-date. This is a huge task, so the main requirements are patience and determination. In particular a lot of work is still needed to bring the more advanced material up-to-date, so expert contributions are to be

Bringing stubs up to a reasonable standard. There are always plenty of pages that are definition-only or that only indicate that a topic exists with no other information. Motivation, examples and particularly references and citations are often needed: see

Developing important articles into good expositions. As anyone who teaches the subject knows, the gap between stating some true facts, and really putting over a topic, is quite large. Here we can consider also the need to add history and proper

Articles which are biographies of mathematicians involved with probability are generally not included in "topic categories", but may be found at 269: 916: 904: 899: 894: 964: 979: 1044: 1039: 1034: 1029: 1024: 1019: 1011: 974: 959: 752: 969: 790: 921: 877: 840: 571: 543: 996: 991: 986: 954: 949: 944: 936: 489: 169: 740: 482: 1179: 1174: 1169: 1164: 1159: 1154: 1144: 108:, with concerns ranging from the formatting of mathematics to the need to provide some initial content for articles that will be understandable by a general readership: see 1129: 1124: 1119: 1114: 1109: 1104: 1099: 1094: 1089: 1084: 1079: 1074: 1069: 1059: 911: 889: 884: 872: 867: 862: 855: 850: 845: 835: 827: 810: 735: 730: 223: 795: 785: 505: 747: 168:
