• 21:5521:55, 20 May 2017 diff hist −201 Misuse of p-values →Common misunderstandings of p-values: Too general a statement, and not indisputably a misunderstanding. See Wellek's "A critical evaluation of the current “p-value controversy”, Biom J 2017

• 09:1309:13, 12 May 2017 diff hist −392 Swing time Undid revision 779953274 by 47.208.11.42 (talk) not clear what a "musical device" is in this context, or how one might "subliminally" use one Tag: references removed

7 May 2017

• 18:5518:55, 7 May 2017 diff hist −14 Multiple comparisons problem →Large-scale multiple testing: fixed sentence fragment
• 18:5318:53, 7 May 2017 diff hist −336 Multiple comparisons problem →Large-scale multiple testing: a blog is not really a reputable statistical source Tag: references removed
• 18:4718:47, 7 May 2017 diff hist −175 Multiple comparisons problem sentence was unnecessarily verbose and jargon-ish
• 18:4418:44, 7 May 2017 diff hist −241 Multiple comparisons problem →Large-scale multiple testing: the cited source makes no mention of multiple testing. in fact, that has been a criticism of the cited source. Tag: references removed
• 00:3600:36, 7 May 2017 diff hist −62 Swing time →Swing as a rhythmic style: removed incorrect, unsourced statement. in jazz, swing is NOT typically notated as a dotted rhythm.
• 00:3400:34, 7 May 2017 diff hist −28 Swing time →Swing as a "feel": removed unnecessary, potentially confusing phrase

• 05:4605:46, 3 May 2017 diff hist −4 Chicken or the egg Undid revision 777602025 by 74.51.157.77 (talk) titles such as Mr. and Dr. aren't necessary here.

2 May 2017

• 22:2422:24, 2 May 2017 diff hist +200 Confidence interval →Philosophical issues: clarification. in its previous form, this paragraph seemed to imply that the Bayesian approach was inherently superior.
• 22:1822:18, 2 May 2017 diff hist −112 Confidence interval →Philosophical issues: removed POV
• 22:1522:15, 2 May 2017 diff hist −1,140 Confidence interval →Philosophical issues: appears to refer to a example in an "introduction" that does not exist.
• 06:5906:59, 2 May 2017 diff hist −51 Drum machine →Early preset drum machine users: used less convoluted phrasing

29 April 2017

• 20:2020:20, 29 April 2017 diff hist +3 University of California, Los Angeles →History: Not sure why "Los Angeles" was changed to "Ls Angls". Possibly vandalism.

23 April 2017

• 19:3819:38, 23 April 2017 diff hist −160 Confidence interval removed redundancy. minor reorganization.
• 05:4805:48, 23 April 2017 diff hist −116 University of California, Los Angeles →Transportation and parking: too much detail
• 05:3705:37, 23 April 2017 diff hist −52 Confidence interval The fact that confidence levels other than 95% can be used has nothing to do with whether they are presented "graphically"
• 05:3505:35, 23 April 2017 diff hist −316 Confidence interval Removed unsourced, misleading statement. We don't--or at least shouldn't--say that "we are 99% confident that the interval contains the parameter." also, saying the parameter is either in the interval or isn't in the interval is a meaningless statement.
• 05:3105:31, 23 April 2017 diff hist +31 Confidence interval minor clarification
• 05:3005:30, 23 April 2017 diff hist −158 Confidence interval Explained with more accurate language. Removed unsourced statement that implied the terms "confidence bounds" and "confidence limits" are specific to one-sided intervals
• 05:2405:24, 23 April 2017 diff hist −174 Confidence interval removed extremely verbose, potentially misleading, unsourced sentence that referred to CIs as "observed."
• 05:0005:00, 23 April 2017 diff hist −12 P-value →Usage: "or equal to" is unnecessary since it is impossible for a p-value to be exactly equal to the alpha level
• 04:5704:57, 23 April 2017 diff hist +9 P-value →Usage: saying the null hypothesis "must be" rejected is a bit odd. "may be rejected" seems more appropriate.
• 03:4703:47, 23 April 2017 diff hist −5 Credible interval →Contrasts with confidence interval{{anchor|Confidence interval}}: Saying they don't coincide "in general" could be misleading. In fact, the two types of intervals are often very similar.
• 03:4603:46, 23 April 2017 diff hist −320 Credible interval →Contrasts with confidence interval{{anchor|Confidence interval}}: What is a "correct interval?" That definition makes no sense. The confidence interval contains the parameter 95% of the time. Saying it's "correct" 95% of the time is nonsensical. Tag: references removed

• 05:5305:53, 12 April 2017 diff hist −306 Kim Burrell →Influence and later recordings: another unsourced, aggrandizing quote
• 05:5205:52, 12 April 2017 diff hist −449 Kim Burrell →Influence and later recordings: removed unsourced, aggrandizing statement. this is an encyclopedia, not a puff piece.

• 13:1613:16, 10 April 2017 diff hist +11 Chicken or the egg →Philosophical perspective: there isn't much in the way of confirmation regarding an exact quote from Aristotle

9 April 2017

• 02:5202:52, 9 April 2017 diff hist −58 When Contact Changes Minds Undid revision 773463207 by Factchecker atyourservice (talk) seems like a pretty fair paraphrase to me

4 April 2017

• 02:1002:10, 4 April 2017 diff hist 0 Chicken or the egg →Scientific resolution: m
• 02:1002:10, 4 April 2017 diff hist +136 Chicken or the egg →Scientific resolution: should be emphasized that it's a metaphor. the literal interpretation is basically an aside.

2 April 2017

• 11:3811:38, 2 April 2017 diff hist −931 Swing time →Swing as a "feel": interesting, but appears to be original research and thus violation of wiki policy

27 March 2017

• 18:0418:04, 27 March 2017 diff hist −3 Confidence interval better phrasing

21 March 2017

• 12:5912:59, 21 March 2017 diff hist −308 Swing time on second thought, it's not clear why this photo and text box belong in the article at all.
• 12:5812:58, 21 March 2017 diff hist −84 Swing time swing is not limited to jazz

20 March 2017

• 16:4016:40, 20 March 2017 diff hist −159 Credible interval →Contrasts with confidence interval{{anchor|Confidence interval}}: removed unsourced, potentially confusing, and philosophically debatable statement
• 07:5607:56, 20 March 2017 diff hist −82 Swing time →Swing as a Rhythmic Style: cleaned up the language a little bit
• 07:5107:51, 20 March 2017 diff hist +198 Talk:Swing time →Types: good point
• 07:5007:50, 20 March 2017 diff hist +9 Swing time →Swing as a Rhythmic Style: could be misleading to use the "approximately equal" sign for only the 3:2 ratio, given that ALL those ratios are loose approximations

17 March 2017

• 03:2803:28, 17 March 2017 diff hist +13 Multiple comparisons problem "look-elsewhere effect" appears to be a rather esoteric term compared to the more generally used "problem of multiple comparisons"

• 22:5622:56, 15 March 2017 diff hist +672 Swing time →Swing as a Rhythmic Style: added reference
• 22:5422:54, 15 March 2017 diff hist −1,256 Swing time →Swing as a "Feel": Pressing's musings on "feel" aren't relevant here because they are distinct from his references to swing. Indeed, Pressing used the term "swing" in the other, more clearly defined sense. Tag: references removed
• 22:4722:47, 15 March 2017 diff hist −190 Swing time →Swing as a Rhythmic Style: grammatically weird sentence that was not supported by the cited source
• 21:0321:03, 15 March 2017 diff hist −28 When Contact Changes Minds →Study: "n equals" is standard in scientific journal articles, but doesn't seem appropriate for an encyclopedia. moreover, since the study was faked anyway, such details are probably irrelevant.
• 20:5920:59, 15 March 2017 diff hist −2 When Contact Changes Minds →Popular press: slight reorganization.
• 20:5620:56, 15 March 2017 diff hist −187 When Contact Changes Minds →Popular press: it doesn't appear that Gelman actually made this statement in the cited source
