| Apr 3 at 15:41 | comment | added | whuber♦ | It's never a valid response to point out you believe we are not perfectly consistent in our moderation: how we moderate other threads has almost nothing to do with your thread. Although I haven't investigated all the questions you mention, the first one already is Community Wiki: that designates a thread potentially of some interest that is expected to accumulate a list of answers. That's why I made your thread CW. When you find a post you believe should be closed, then please flag it for our attention and we will look into it. | |
| Apr 3 at 15:37 | comment | added | Simon Segert | @whuber The four top questions on this website over the last month are: "Is linear regression still relevant in a mid-level DS interview?", "Is descriptive statistics enough to compare test scores of students in a class?", "Are there situations where a vertical bar chart is preferable to a horizontal one?", "Do we believe in existence of true prior distribution in Bayesian Statistics?". None of these seem to me to have a definitive, single answer. | |

| Apr 3 at 15:14 | comment | added | whuber♦ | This comment tells me you really are fishing for a list of answers. Nobody denies that might be interesting, but it's a poor fit to our format here, where we address questions that have definitive, single answers if possible. | |
| Apr 3 at 14:59 | comment | added | Simon Segert | Thanks! Very interesting about the lognormals. I should clarify I don't have a formal notion of niceness in mind. Ideally the condition would include cases with both positive and negative skew, but really anything more parsimonious than just a laundry list of specific distributions would be interesting. | |
