[edit] Scope

This Wikipedia subproject (or work group) covers probability theory and statistics, the history of probability and statistics, and biographies of probabilists and statisticians. Articles within its scope include those:

• Flagged as belonging to the Probability and Statistics field by the {{maths rating}} template;
• Included in the List of statistics topics;
• Included in Category:Statistics or Category:Probability or their sub-categories;

[edit] To do

[edit] To do items for members of Probability and statistics work group

• Tag related articles (see below)
• Find editors who have shown interest in this subject and ask them to take a look here. Possible sources:
  • Category:Wikipedian statisticians
  • WikiProject Mathematics/Participants mentioning statistics among their areas of interest
• Identify articles for creation
• Identify articles for improvement
• Review importance and quality of existing articles listed at WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Probability and statistics.
• Identify articles to merge
• Reorganize Category:Statistics

[edit] To do items for anyone

[edit] Guidelines

[edit] Tagging and assessment

Any articles that are within the scope of WikiProject Mathematics should be tagged on the talk page with the {{maths rating}} banner (or equivalently {{math rating}} which is a redirect). Adding "field=probability and statistics" will cause VeblenBot to add the page to WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Probability and statistics within 24 hours.

{{maths rating | field=probability and statistics}} produces:

You can also rate the importance and quality of the article using the "importance" and "class" parameters — see WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0 for full details. It's probably best not to assess the quality yourself if you've edited the article substantially, however.

You may also find {{WikiProjectBanners}} useful for articles within the scope of multiple WikiProjects.

[edit] Categories

Please try to assign articles to an appropriate sub-category rather than the top level of the probability or statistics categories. Category:statistics is in need of some reorganization at present.

[+] Statistics

[edit] Templates

For main project templates, see the main project page for WikiProject Mathematics.

Specific templates of interest include:

[edit] Navigational templates

These can be used at the bottom of articles at editors' discretion.

• {{ProbDistributions}}
• {{Statistics}}

[edit] Infobox templates

Infoboxes go at the top of the article code and appear at the top right of the article.

• {{Probability distribution}}
• {{Probability distribution two}} for distributions with two common representations, parameterizations or definitions, e.g. Geometric distribution
• {{Infobox scientist}} for biographies

Note that all parameters in {{Probability distribution}} and {{Probability distribution two}} must be kept in the code to avoid raw code for them appearing in the infobox — leave them blank if unknown. Inapplicable parameters in {{Infobox scientist}} can be deleted. Applicable but unknown parameters should be kept but left blank.

[edit] Stub templates

• {{Probability-stub}}
• {{Statistics-stub}}

[edit] Userbox template

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Outreach/User Probability and statistics work group}}
