Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Intro

Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group, whose aim is:
 * To improve Wikipedia's coverage of statistics and the organization of information and articles on this topic.

This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to do lists below.

This WikiProject covers articles related to statistics, including the history of statistics and biographies of statisticians. Articles within its scope include those in:
 * List of statistics topics
 * Category:Statistics and its sub-categories
 * Category:Statisticians and its sub-categories

An expandable tree view of subcategories of Category:Statistics is available at CategoryTree->Statistics.

A ranking of articles on statistical topics by recent page views is at WikiProject_Statistics/Popular_pages.

The list of statistics topics is being extended to include existing articles not previously listed and any new or unlisted statistics-related articles should be added. The list contains over 2750 items, including some redirects (18 February 2013: was 2642 on 17 October 2011; 2233 on 29 July 2009; 1731 on 31 December 2008; and 945 on 22 May 2008). The list is not at present very sophisticated and this project could undertake general improvements given that lists are far more versatile than categories. Look at lists of mathematics topics for examples.

Some priority articles that the project hopes to make progress with are those in:
 * Category:Statistics stubs ( articles)
 * Category:Statistics articles needing expert attention ( articles)
