There are three sci.stat.* newsgroups on the original USENET hierarchy and at least one GoogleGroups location with activity. The Medstats group has reputable people contributing. If you post a difficult problem in integration or numerical analysis to sci.math or sci.math.num-analysis you may get very credible responses.

One doc's opinion: The sci.stat.math groups has people of variable quality (as with any open Internet forum). Some such as Marc Schwartz and Frank Harrell who also post here, are extremely good, but some of the other regular contributors may not be as sophisticated. Caveat emptor. You can see all of these groups through a variety of news clients. USENET groups are canonically read with newsreaders but are also accessible through Google's interface. The Medstats group can only be seen with Google's interface.

Hi,
Given that the R forum is mostly a site to discuss issues related to the
language, are there any forums that discuss statistical issues? I am
specifically interested in the statistical issues in experimental design.
TIA,
Anjan
