Statistics. I have data, and now I must use statistics. Actually, I protest too much. I don’t have much statistics knowledge, but I like understanding the theory behind statistics and how to apply different statistical tests. One that I’m considering at the moment is the Kolmogrov Smirnov Test hopefully this will tell me if my data is the same as a certain random distribution, which is what I’m trying to prove at the moment.
On a somewhat different note, the name Kolmogrov Smirnov Test
reminds me fondly of another statistical test: Fisher’s LSD. My friend and
I were amused by the name of this test during our statistics class, and
created a drink called the Fisher’s LSD in its honour (1 shot Bailey’s, 1
shot Kaluah, 1 shot chocolate milk, sprinkle with nutmeg). Now I find the
Kolmogrov Smirnov test crying out for a similar treatment. I’ll have to
think about it.
