Excuse my ignorance, but what does the scientific method have to do with statistics? I have always considered it to be a math, not science.

- nl 15y agoI regard Math as a Science, although I do understand the controversy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics#Mathematics_as_science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics#Mathematics_as_scie... is a pretty good summary. (Although if economics is Math then that is even better: economics is something that can make predictions, and isn't just the black magic that some seem to think) The scientific method applies is deciding what statistical experiments to do.
