Section headings

[edit]

I have added and changed some section headings to give, I hope, a better division between topics. In particular I have tried to separate-off those articles that are mainly non-statistical, at least in their starting points. No doubt these headings can be improved as more articles from Category:Regression analysis are added. Melcombe (talk) 13:16, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

[edit]

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
