• 20:5020:50, 10 June 2024 diff hist −108‎ Confidence interval ‎ →‎Optimality: Removed weird statement saying we could throw away half the data set. The description of optimalit, which (like the rest of the "Desired Properties" section) is completely unscourced, still seems dubious to me. Defining optimality as using as much info as possible conflicts with defining optimality as giving you a current

• 04:0404:04, 9 June 2024 diff hist −164‎ Confidence interval ‎ →‎Problems: I agree with the editor who said framing these as "counterexamples" is weird. Better to describe them as examples of how naive interpretation of CIs can fail.
• 03:4903:49, 9 June 2024 diff hist −125‎ Beat (acoustics) ‎ →‎Mathematics and physics of beat tones: Removed unclear, potentially confusing statement about the human ear only hearing the magnitude of a wave. Also clarified that the beat frequency isn't always in the audible range. current
• 03:4403:44, 9 June 2024 diff hist −453‎ Beat (acoustics) ‎ →‎Mathematics and physics of beat tones: I searched the cited source (https://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/beats.htm) for the 12 hz benchmark and couldn't find it anywhere. In any case, the claim was highly dubious, since 12 hz is way below the range of human hearing.

• 00:0300:03, 3 June 2024 diff hist +21‎ Bonferroni correction ‎ →‎Criticism: It's important to clarify that the criticism applies to multiple-testing adjustments in general. Otherwise, the criticism is potentially highly misleading. Imagine saying that a particular brand of cigarettes has been criticized for increasing cancer risk—without mentioning that the same problem applies to all other brands of cigarettes also.

• 05:4305:43, 28 March 2024 diff hist −58‎ Paired difference test ‎ →‎See also: The link to pairwise comparisons doesn't belong, since it's a different type of pairing that isn't directly related to the topic here. Including it as a "see also" is potentially misleading.

• 05:3705:37, 28 March 2024 diff hist −493‎ Paired difference test ‎ Simplified and cleaned up the lede a bit. This article could still use a lot of work.

23 March 2024

• 19:5119:51, 23 March 2024 diff hist +199‎ Histogram ‎ Clarified the key distinctions between histograms and bar charts. Saying a bar chart shows "categorical variables" is potentially misleading. Each bar does represent a different category, but the heights of the bars are quantitative.
• 19:1619:16, 23 March 2024 diff hist −1,318‎ Histogram ‎ Removed redundant passage that merely rephrased previous sentences

• 09:0709:07, 12 March 2024 diff hist −671‎ Family-wise error rate ‎ Restoring a previous edit by an editor that noted that the Rubin article cited here is not by the famous Rubin one would expect and is not particularly noteworthy. Citing it here gives it undue weight. Tag: references removed
• 08:5908:59, 12 March 2024 diff hist +11‎ Family-wise error rate ‎ Corrected apostrophe placement in "Holm's". Also, clarified Tukey's position regarding experimentwise control. The previous phrasing gave the misleading impression that Tukey was generally opposed to experimentwise error control, rather than that he suggested familywise control was preferable in the case that an experiment included multiple families.

• 00:2100:21, 12 February 2024 diff hist −877‎ Statistical hypothesis test ‎ Removed apparently nonsensical sentences. For example the alpha level isn't calculated from the test statistic; it is simply designated. And the phrase "based on the comparison of the hypothesis with the significance level or on the p-value of the hypothesis" appears to be pure gobbledygook. Also, the "100 statistical tests" claim doesn't belong in the lede, and the source cited for it is not a reliable source for statistical theory anyway. Tag: references removed

• 17:4517:45, 4 February 2024 diff hist −33‎ Statistical hypothesis test ‎ There are many methods one might use to make decisions under uncertainty. Hypothesis testing is just one method.

3 February 2024

• 19:5019:50, 3 February 2024 diff hist −329‎ Histogram ‎ As noted in a previous edit explanation, there aren't an official "seven tools of quality." So it's silly to put that in the main info box for the article. Also the main image is full of "chart junk," i.e., pointless visual complexity (it is rainbow colored for no apparent reason). The other histogram images in the article are much better, simpler, and more representative of typical histograms.

29 January 2024

• 05:3705:37, 29 January 2024 diff hist −274‎ Histogram ‎ There's no particular reason a histogram can't be used to represent discrete (i.e., non-continuous) data. For example, you could have a histogram illustrating the number of pets that people own or the number of friends people have. Those aren't continuous variables because the values can only be whole numbers. The key distinction between histograms and bar graphs is that histograms typically represent quantitative variables. Quantitative variables aren't necessarily continuous. Tag: references removed
