Are splines overfitting the data? All of the curves in your first graph fail to fit the data at the far right hand side. |

Is there an upper limit on the number of intervals in a histogram? JMP software uses a better method. It gives the user a default number of bins but the user can then drag over the plot to increase or decrease the number of bins. That lets him (or her) see it change in real time. |

Ways to reduce high dimensional data for visualization Does it need to be a static plot that can be printed? If not, you could show your data as a time-lapsed series of plots. If I remember correctly, JMP software does that sort of thing. |

Expected number of unseen cards when drawing $2n$ cards from a deck of size $n$ It may be a little more complicated than that. The probability that card(i) is missed is as you wrote. However, once we know that card(i) was missed, the probability of missing card(j) changes. I don't know whether the independence issue will change the final result but complicates the derivation. |

In an election, how can we tell the certainty that a candidate will be the winner? If "with certainty" is meant to be taken literally, statistics can (almost?) never answer a question "with certainty". But we can give answers with a high level of confidence that the answer will be correct. (In other words, if we get our data and do our analyses correctly, we can say things like, "My answer will only be wrong about x% of the time.") |
