[SciPy-user] scipy tutorial for stats

[josef.pktd at gmail.com]

Since the scipy tutorial for stats was almost empty, I started to
write some comments and examples for it. A first draft is at

http://docs.scipy.org/scipy/docs/scipy-docs/tutorial/stats.rst/

(I'm not sure if all the formatting is correct)

Currently it is very heavily focused on the parts that I was
rewriting, especially distributions and tests (ks and t).

Since scipy.stats is an agglomeration of different functions and
groups of functions, it is not so obvious what a good structure and
topic list for a stats tutorial is.

Hopefully the function and methods will get their own docstring
examples, then, I think, that it would be more useful if the tutorial
shows how to group or tie the functions together. I saw that
py4science and sage have stats introductory examples, and something
like that would be helpful for new users.

Proposals for a tutorial structure and clarifying the objective would
be helpful.

Personally, I prefer recipes and longer examples scripts to tutorials,
as for example the matplotlib example page. Is there a place in the
new docs where we can list and link to recipes and example scripts?
