Ray Vickson:
Thank you for the excellent response, with a referral to a textbook, a referral to a nice Wikipedia article, and reassurance concerning Simon Bridge! I hope that we can have a good dialogue about Normal Distribution on this thread, and that this thread will continue to force me to...
Simon Bridge:
First, I want to thank you again for responding to my thread on 'Normal Distribution - self study / review' on July 9, 2014. I originally hoped that this thread would serve as an opportunity for me to study and review my textbook, which I cited in my post #1.
I'm sorry for the...
Peer-reviewed journal link (or 2) from Thomson Reuters
In an attempt to redeem but not resuscitate my thread, here are 2 links to peer reviewed journals. 1 is a PDF on Euro Zone (with info on debt crises).
(2 is a short press release on 2009 stimulus package, with macroeconomic information...
"3. Somewhat in between" seems like the safest bet for future referenc
Certainly, my question has been posted on sufficiently; I'd like to move on to another thread,
(perhaps on chemistry since the inception of Copenhagen school, or my 1 chapter on organic chemistry, both from the chemistry...
Simon Bridge:
Thank you for the response.
Perhaps some examples of reality-based data, though I don't need them to be real, might be illustrative of what I meant by "deviation from" the Gaussian / Normal Distribution, or Estimation of the Gaussian / Normal Distribution:
a) astronomical data...
I've reviewed 3 links; I request manual transmission for posts/links?
Simon Bridge:
Thank you for the 3 links, which I have reviewed:
1. GCSE "blog":
This level was useful for me for an overview is called for;
2. College level lecture:
This level has the details that I would like when...
These were intended as my questions:
I'm sorry that my questions were not clearly stated initially:
1. What are the easiest analyses of deviations from Normal Distribution?
(Examples are given only as a starting point.)
2. What is the frequency of departures from Normal Distribution when...
Thanks for corrections on brain structure terms!
DiracPool:
Thank you, for correcting me.
I am reviewing my fall 2004 community college / junior college biology 101 (Intro to Biology) class out of my interest in:
evolution in general, and The Descent of Man, as Charles Robert Darwin, FRS...
Cerebral cortex structures and mammalia brain evolution to human brain
DiracPool:
Thanks for the helpful information about brain evolution and pre-mammalian pallium; mammalia from ~200mya, lack of dedicated motor cortex, basal ganglia; mammalia from ~100mya, dedicated motor cortex, frontal...
Normal Distribution - self study / review
Please see my new thread, "Normal Distribution - self study / review":
for a thread on Normal Distribution, beginner's deviations from such, and a few other questions.
Thanks!

limited-in-scope thread on emergence of mammalia, and no K-T speculati
Simon Bridge:
1a) I merely want to start off a small, limited scope thread on the topic of emergence of mammalia, beginning with the transitional therapsids, and then continuing with the therians.
My initial post...
Question on deviations from Normal Distribution
I have come up with a few questions, and will need to start a new thread for:
Normal Distribution:
1. What are the easiest analyses of deviations from Normal Distribution? (Exempli gratia: mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis)?
2. What is the...
I apologize for deviation from peer-reviewed journals;
Thank you, Evo, for reminding me that I needed to cite research from peer-reviewed journals.
I will take another break to look for such research, and post again if I can find a good citation.
I am not sure what topic to look under that...
