    statistics forum?

    not sure where to post this so general banter it is:

    does anyone know the location of a decent stats forum, i need to understand several stats tests which deal with space-time interactions (knox & mantel tests) & i don't seem to be able to find any example workings anywhere on the web...

    alternatively perhaps a fellow hexus member is a stats wizard and can take me under their mathematical wing

    heres hoping

    cheers
    dan

    ps. MOD's if this in the wrong place plz move me

    ROFL! I was really good at Maths at school, and work in accounts now, so I can try to help you. I done the statistics module with ease at A-Level but didn't finish the whole course.

    Never heard of Knox and Mantel though. What's that?

    I've got a stat for you baby... 0.3% of all road accidents in Canada involve a Moose.

    Shall I do the punch line?

    Ok...

    I didn't even know they could drive!

    as for knox & mantel they're measures from epidemiology i believe - they measure how clustered events are in space and time - a measure of epidemic

    Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.

    There are so many forums for 'Lies' and 'Damn Lies' there must be one for statistics.

    I know I'm crapping your thread, but I really hate stats. My mind is set up for Physics and Mechanics, and I really hate the way that stats work in a totally different way. I can easily work out A-Level Physics problems in my head, but Stats problems really confuse the hell out of me. I think the whole subject is clearly flawed.
