Tell me about the whole gaussian vs mandelbrotian thing and how the bell curve is an useless piece of shit

Because "useless" is pronounced jouseless, it should be preceded by a vowel.
Joshua Smith
If the letter is silent (often h words), go by the second letter.
if its a vowel: an
if its not a vowel: a
"an herb" because its really "an erb"
"a useless" because u is not silent

Gaussian is useless because statisticians try to take nonparametric data and fit it to a normal distribution. That's about 50% of their job: fitting data to a normal distirbution.

>"an herb" because its really "an erb"
Except in England people pronounce "herb" correctly, so it's "a herb"
;^)

What are the best methods of fitting data?
Linear regression is shit.
Quadratic spline maybe is good?
Why do statisticians always try to fit data to normal distributions?

They're nice to work with.

You can use non-paremetric regression. There is also logistic regression, probit regresion, ridge regression. And even if some of the normal assumptions are broken, there are ways to help correct that. Also, I think the Gaussian curve is used in physics.
Camden Long
Doesn't that make them frauds?
