How about explaining 'independent but not identically distributed' variables? The meaning of independence and identical distribution, and its implication, should be more explicitly stated... in my opinion, that is. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/182.216.110.134|182.216.110.134]] ([[User talk:182.216.110.134|talk]]) 04:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== 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. <tt><nowiki>{{sc2|IID}}</nowiki></tt>), 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. — [[user:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] 00:57, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
