Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Guidelines

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
 * and (if there is substantial mathematics content)
 * using appropriate values for the class and importance parameters as described here.
 * using appropriate values for the class and importance parameters as described here.
 * 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 s&a-work-group = yes 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
