About six weeks ago, I pro­posed that there should be a Stack Exchange site for ques­tions on data analy­sis, sta­tis­tics, data min­ing, machine learn­ing, etc. I can finally report that there has been sub­stan­tial progress on this.

The for­mal pro­posal is now at Area 51 where the scope of the new site is being devel­oped and voted on in a demo­c­ra­tic way. The site has been in a pri­vate beta state for a week or so, but is now open for any­one to join in.

So if you’re inter­ested in this pro­posed site for questions/​answers on sta­tis­ti­cal analy­sis, please head over to Area 51 and join in the dis­cus­sion and vot­ing on what the site should cover. It would be a good idea to first read the FAQ so you under­stand how the sys­tem works.
