This does *not* cover what a good grad statistician would be aware of. But if your application area is physics, you should know about the annual Particle Data Group "Review of Particle Properties": http://pdg.lbl.gov/ Click on "Reviews, Tables..." and then on "Mathematical Tools" to get summaries of what professional physicists are expected to know about probability and statistics. It only covers fairly basic stuff, and isn't great, but it does seem to slowly be getting better. -Tom -- To respond by email, replace "somewhere" with "astro" in the return address. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
