  • 2010-Jul-14: The Levy Distribution can take on shapes that resemble the returns on financial securities. [9294] [1]
  • 2010-Jul-06: A rather good list of The Most Important Algorithms. I have used about 12 of these (that I know of) and written implementations of about 10 of them over the years. [9284]
  • 2010-Jun-30: The Mandelbox is another attempt at taking the Mandelbrot set to the third dimension. Very nice stuff. [9265] [1]
  • 2010-Jun-29: The Two Child Problem is very similar to the Monty Hall problem. [9261]
  • 2010-Jun-26: Finding Probability Distribution Parameters from Percentiles uses the SciPy library to estimate the parameters that would result in a probability distribution that would match certain observations. [9260] [1]
  • 2010-Jun-15: The Pattern-Seeking Fallacy talks about how we like to find patterns in things. [9198]
  • 2010-Jun-11: An article about the mis-use of statistics in science (especially health science), this is discussed here on Slashdot. It finishes with a nice example of Bayesian statistics at work (which might be applicable to financial calculations like stock valuations). A long explanation of Bayes' Theorem and another example which includes the Monty Hall problem. Some more examples of using Bayes' Theorem: Making Sense with Numbers, Bayesian spam filtering, Naive Bayes classifier, Bayesian networks, A Brief Introduction to Graphical Models and Bayesian Networks and the Wikipedia article on Bayes' theorem. [9023] [1] [2]
  • 2010-May-31: Pandas is a project to optimize NumPy for time series and cross-sectional data analysis, including storage, regression and plotting. [9158] [1]

The significant difference between this and the normal distribution is that the Weibull is a one-sided curve, so all the events happen above a reference point rather than being distributed on either side of the reference point. This makes sense for things like time to failure given that a component cannot fail before it is put into use (well, if you include manufacturing defects and shipping issues it could...). [8902] [1]
