Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics

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}}
