Reg­u­lar read­ers of this site will know I’m a fan of using Stack Over­flow for ques­tions about LaTeX, R and other areas of pro­gram­ming. Now the peo­ple who pro­duce Stack Over­flow are plan­ning on set­ting up sev­eral new sites for ask­ing ques­tions about other top­ics, and are seek­ing pro­pos­als. I have pro­posed that there should be a site for ques­tions on data analy­sis, sta­tis­tics, data min­ing, machine learn­ing, etc.

It is more likely that my idea will turn into a func­tion­ing site if peo­ple who agree with me vote for it. So if you agree, please head over to meta​.stack​ex​change​.com and vote! (You will need to reg­is­ter first, but that’s free.)

If you dis­agree or have any com­ments about the idea, I’d also like to hear from you. But please add your com­ments to my pro­posal rather than here.
