In the "Generalizations" section, I am missing pairwise/k-wise independence mentioned (i.e. any pair/k-tuple in the sequence is independent, but larger subsets are not necessarily independent). Pairwise/k-wise independence is used in theoretical CS. --David Pal

== IID consistency ==
 
After noticing the lead contained a mixture of both, I made a bold edit in favour of IID which I personally find less visually distracting than the dots in i.i.d. when the term is dropped into every second sentence. However, IID is not exactly beautiful, either, and typographically I would advise {{sc2|IID}} (i.e. <ttcode><nowiki>{{sc2|IID}}</nowiki></ttcode>), except that this is apparently discouraged in the MOS. This article might the one where it makes sense to go against the recommended-style grain, though it's above my pay grade to decide this unilaterally. &mdash; [[user:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] 00:57, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

I fully agree with @Undsoweiter. There is no reason for explicitly mentioning machine learning. Moreover, I also do not understand the first reason at the end. Why is the cental limit theorem of any relevance at this point? One is not adding together random variables during likelihood optimization.
