- shas3 13y agoCan you elaborate?
- Fomite 13y agoA little late in coming (blame the Southeast U.S.'s snowstorm), but I work in a very stats heavy field and interact with a number of CS types because I work on computational models. I've gotten a fair amount of "I just need a p-value" requests, and some assumptions that everything can be hit with a t-test or an ANOVA and it'll all work out fine.
