The last edit did not promote any specific tool. It merely had the purpose of separating the links to tools which have other Wikipedia articles devoted to them and links to external websites. No Wikipedia site should be misused as a link-farm and links to external websites must only occur within an "External links" section.

And would you be the same "gragus" listed as the project administrator on the LiveGraph SourceForge page, and creator of the Wikipedia article for LiveGraph? Looking at Wikipedia policies (item 3), perhaps it would be best just to remove all references to software from this article. They do not serve to define what EDA is. Or perhaps if someone were to create a website comparing EDA software, that would be an appropriate external link. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.240.4.166 (talk) 18:44, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

The page states "July 1961" as the date of Tukey's Future of Data Analysis paper, but that was the submission date for the manuscript, not the publication date (which was in 1962: Ann. Math. Statist. 33(1): 1-67 (March, 1962). DOI: 10.1214/aoms/1177704711 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bikestats (talk • contribs) 16:28, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Isn't exploratory data analysis just an extension of descriptive statistics? In other words, shouldn't descriptive statistics and exploratory data analysis be merged? Or at least mention the relationship between the two in the both articles? 08:40, 16 May 2014 (UTC) Marcocapelle (talk) 20:38, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

There's an "external link" section that tries to link to an online course. However, that link gets redirected to http://oli.cmu.edu. I did not want to remove the link, because I figured it would be a nice resource if the link can be fixed. Does anyone know more about the course's new whereabouts?

Here's what I believe is the correct link: https://oli.cmu.edu/courses/probability-statistics-open-free/ Bikestats (talk) 16:30, 30 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
