Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics Information

Here are general guidelines for different types of articles in the project.

• Consider adding one of these navigational boxes to the end of the article:

• {{ Statistics}} (example: Statistical hypothesis testing)
• {{ Least squares and regression analysis}} (example: Nonlinear regression)
• {{ Experimental design}} (example: Randomized block design)
• {{ Medical research studies}} (example: Randomized controlled trial)
• {{ Statistics journals}} (example: The American Statistician)
• {{ ProbDistributions}} (example: Binomial distribution)
• {{ Theory of probability distributions}} (example: Probability mass function)

• Tag the discussion page with

{{ WPStatistics|importance= | class=}}

and (if there is substantial mathematics content)

{{ maths rating|field=probability and statistics | importance= | class=}}

using appropriate values for the class and importance parameters as described here.

General statistics articles

• Use one or more sub-category of Category:Statistics
• Tag stubs with {{ statistics-stub}}

Probability distributions

• Suggestions regarding the structure of articles about probability distributions are here
• Include either of these infoboxes (feel free to leave some parameters blank):

• {{ Infobox probability distribution}} (e.g., Negative binomial distribution)
• {{ Infobox probability distribution 2}} (e.g., Geometric distribution)

• Add an appropriate sub-category of Category:Probability distributions
• Tag stubs with {{ probability-stub}}

Biographies of statisticians

• Include {{ infobox scientist}} with all known information.
• Add Category:Statisticians or one of its sub-categories
• Make sure you follow the policy on Biographies of living persons
• Add {{ WPBiography}} to the article's discussion page (include "|living=yes" to the template for living persons)
• Tag stubs with {{ statistician-stub}}, {{ UK-statistician-stub}} or {{ US-statistician-stub}}

Article-related tasks

Administrative tasks

• Read WikiProject Council/Guide/WikiProject
• Edit, expand and amend this project page or any of its subpages
• Add the {{ WPStatistics}} banner to the talk page of articles in List of statistics articles
• Invite editors with established statistical expertise to participate
• Discuss the best structure for article assessment
• Reorganize Category:Statistics and Category:Probability and statistics
• Expand the list above (and this one!)
• Set watches on these two lists to be informed of updates

An automatically generated list of new articles is available here, based on these rules.

Please feel free to list here any new statistics-related articles that you create or come across (newer articles at the top, please) and also add them to list of statistics topics.

• Bayesian hierarchical modeling 12 May 2014
• Foundations of statistics 2 Sept 2013 major expansion from stub

Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, do not have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.

New templates and categories

Please add new categories to this list as well as here.

These are the articles that have been edited the most within the last three days. Last updated 22 April 2021 by HotArticlesBot.

Statistics WikiProject

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{ WikiProject Statistics}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Statistics articles by quality and Category:Statistics articles by importance.

Currently 5,323 pages have been tagged with the {{WikiProject Statistics}} template. Of these, 52 (1%) have not been assessed for quality and 345 (6%) have not been assessed for importance.

A log of recent changes in assessment is available here.
