comment How to compare three different replacements for eggs in baking?
@Wendy, you probably should add that information to the question, and kyle should add his responses to his amswer

comment when to aggregate when time series forecasting
You can never absolutely trust a prediction - you need confidence intervals. Have you tried plotting a projection with confidence intervals? Your second prediction algorithm doesn't make much sense to me. Isn't a given product always going to be in the same subcategory, category, and department? If so, isn't the forcast for the product already going to include all the information that the categories could add anyway? What would you be regressing against?

comment How to interpret the output of the summary method for an lm object in R?
@godzilla: I think you really need to read an introductory stats text, and/or the wikipedia pages I linked to. I answered those exact questions in my answer. If you want detail, then ask for specifics.

@godzilla: um... not unless you specify what it is that you want to know.

comment How to interpret the output of the summary method for an lm object in R?
@godzilla: if the std.err goes up, then the distribution of likely values is widening, which means that your effect size will become swamped, so making predictions will be harder.

comment What PDF should be fit to a rank histogram?
@Glen_b: I'm looking for the argument, not the description.

comment What PDF should be fit to a rank histogram?
@Glen_b: Basically I thought that because it's discrete data over a finite interval, and the graphs look similar. I don't have any better rationale, but that's kind of what I was trying to get at with the question I guess: is there a reason to assume that this data is NOT from a close-to-beta-binomial distribution?

comment How to statistically compare two fibonacci algorithms?
Do you really need statistics to tell you that the second sequence is hundreds or thousands of times faster for long sequences? What are you trying to prove that a single glance at the data doesn't already improve?

comment Why are drug trials designed with discrete treatment values?
Couldn't you discretise the data afterwards, and then run any tests that would be available for discrete data?
