Bean machine 
 Overlaying Pascal's triangle onto the pins shows the number of different paths that can be taken to get to each pin.
Regression analysis 
 Data modeling can be used without knowing about the underlying processes that have generated the data; in this case the model is an empirical model.
Regression analysis 
 Regression analysis requires assumptions to be made regarding probability distribution of the errors.
Regression analysis 
 In regression analysis the term "model" embraces both the function used to model the data and the assumptions concerning probability distributions.
Regression analysis 
 Regression can be used for prediction (including forecasting of time-series data), inference, hypothesis testing, and modeling of causal relationships.
Regression analysis 
 Regression analysis has been criticized as being misused for these purposes in many cases where the appropriate assumptions cannot be verified to hold.
Regression analysis 
 One factor contributing to the misuse of regression is that it can take considerably more skill to critique a model than to fit a model.
Forensic science 
 Forensic science (or forensics) is when different fields of science work together to answer the questions a lawyer would ask.
Forensic science 
 Most often, forensics is about proving that someone was present at a place where a crime was committed.
Forensic science 
 Most forensic tests can take from 1 hour to one year, and investigators need to double (and triple) check the answer, so they know that the answer is the right answer.
Forensic science 
 If a forensics team made a mistake the wrong person could be jailed, or they could get into trouble themselves.
Forensic science 
 Samples like hair or skin can be use for DNA testing, which allows to tell the gender of the person the hair is from, amongst others.
Forensic science 
 Forensic anthropology is the application of physical anthropology in a legal setting, usually for the recovery and identification of skeletonized human remains.
Forensic science 
 Forensic archaeology is the application of a combination of archaeological techniques and forensic science, typically in law enforcement.
Forensic science 
 Computational forensics concerns the development of algorithms and software to assist forensic examination.
Forensic science 
 Criminalistics applies various sciences to answer questions relating to examination and comparison of biological evidence, trace evidence, impression evidence (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, and tire tracks), controlled substances, ballistics, firearm and toolmark examination, and other evidence in criminal investigations.
Forensic science 
 Digital forensics is the application of proven scientific methods and techniques in order to recover data from electronic / digital media.
Forensic science 
 Forensic document examination or questioned document examination answers questions about a disputed document using a variety of scientific processes and methods.
Forensic science 
 Many examinations involve a comparison of the questioned document, or components of the document, with a set of known standards.
Forensic science 
 The most common type of examination involves handwriting, whereby the examiner tries to address concerns about potential authorship.
Forensic science 
 Forensic DNA analysis takes advantage of the uniqueness of an individual's DNA to answer forensic questions such as paternity/maternity testing and placing a suspect at a crime scene, e.g. in a rape investigation.
Forensic science 
 Forensic engineering is the scientific examination and analysis of structures and products relating to their failure or cause of damage.

Ronald Fisher 
 Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher FRS (17 February 1890 – 29 July 1962) was an English statistician, evolutionary biologist, and geneticist.
Ronald Fisher 
 He was described as "a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science".
Ronald Fisher 
 In 1919 Fisher started work at Rothamsted Experimental Station at Harpenden, Hertfordshire, England.
Ronald Fisher 
 Over the next seven years, he pioneered the principles of the design of experiments and elaborated his studies of the analysis of variance.
Ronald Fisher 
 Perhaps even more important, he began his systematic approach of the analysis of real data as the springboard for the development of new statistical methods.
Ronald Fisher 
 He began to pay particular attention to the labour involved in the necessary computations, and developed practical methods.
Ronald Fisher 
 This went into many editions and translations in later years, and became a standard reference work for scientists in many disciplines.
Ronald Fisher 
 His work on the theory of population genetics made him one of the three great figures of that field, together with Sewall Wright and J.B.S. Haldane.
Ronald Fisher 
 In addition to founding modern quantitative genetics with his 1918 paper, he was the first to use diffusion equations to attempt to calculate the distribution of gene frequencies among populations.
Ronald Fisher 
 His 1950 paper on gene frequency clines is notable as the first application of a computer to biology.
Ronald Fisher 
 The outcome of this work was the recognition that the force of natural selection was often much stronger than had been appreciated.
Ronald Fisher 
 Many ecogenetic situations (such as polymorphism) were not selectively neutral, on the contrary, they were maintained by the force of selection.
Ronald Fisher 
 Fisher was the original author of the idea of heterozygote advantage, which was later found to play a frequent role in genetic polymorphism.
Ronald Fisher 
 The discovery of indisputable cases of natural selection in nature was one of the main strands in the modern evolutionary synthesis.
Ronald Fisher 
 Fisher was an ardent promoter of eugenics, and he held the Chair in Eugenics at University College London from 1933 until he moved to Cambridge University as Professor of Genetics in 1943.
Ronald Fisher 
 Between 1929 and 1934 the Eugenics Society also campaigned hard for a law permitting sterilisation on eugenic grounds.
Ronald Fisher 
 Fisher played a major role in this movement, and served in several official committees to promote it.
Ronald Fisher 
 In 1934, Fisher moved to increase the power of scientists within the Eugenics Society, but was ultimately thwarted by members with an environmentalist point of view, and he, along with many other scientists, resigned.
Ronald Fisher 
 His book The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection was started in 1928 and published in 1930, with a second edition in 1950.
Ronald Fisher 
 He showed that the probability of a mutation increasing the fitness of an organism decreases proportionately with the magnitude of the mutation.
Ronald Fisher 
 About a third of the book concerned the applications of these ideas to humans, and presented the data available at that time.
Ronald Fisher 
 He presented a theory that attributed the decline and fall of civilizations to the fertility of the upper classes being low.
Ronald Fisher 
 Using the census data of 1911 for Britain, he showed that there was an inverse relationship between fertility and social class.
Ronald Fisher 
 This was partly due, he believed, to the rise in social status of families who were not capable of producing many children but who rose because of the financial advantage of having a small number of children.
Ronald Fisher 
 Therefore he proposed the abolishment of the economic advantage of small families by instituting subsidies (he called them allowances) to families with larger numbers of children, with the allowances proportional to the earnings of the father.
Ronald Fisher 
 According to Yates and Mather, "His large family, reared in conditions of great financial stringency, was a personal expression of his genetic and evolutionary convictions".
Ronald Fisher 
 The book was reviewed, among others, by physicist Charles Galton Darwin, a grandson of Charles Darwin's.
Ronald Fisher 
 Fisher's book also had a major influence on W.D. Hamilton and the development of his theories on the genetic basis for kin selection.
Ronald Fisher 
 of statistical methods... his early book Statistical Methods for Research Workers, published in 1925, went through many editions and influenced the practical use of statistics in many fields of
Ronald Fisher 
 Fisher's Design of Experiments (1935) was "also fundamental, [and promoted] statistical technique and application... The mathematical justification of the methods was not stressed and proofs were often barely sketched or omitted altogether .... [This] led H.B. Mann to fill the gaps with a rigorous mathematical treatment in his treatise".

The Art of War 
 David and Goliath is a Biblical story of a weaker shepherd boy facing a giant who is a skilled warrior.
The Art of War 
 The Art of War is credited by Mao Zedong as having helped him defeat Chiang Kai-Shek in the Chinese Civil War.

 American generals Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. and Colin Powell followed principals in The Art of War in the Gulf War.
Conference USA 
 Conference USA, officially abbreviated C-USA, is a group of college sports teams that play each other on the NCAA Division I level.
Conference USA 
 It was formed in 1995 when the Great Midwest Conference and Metro Conference merged, and has added several members since then.
Conference USA 
 Most of the new members have come from either the Western Athletic Conference or the Sun Belt Conference.
Conference USA 
 From 2005 to 2014, it also lost many members, mostly to the original Big East Conference and its football-playing offshoot, the American Athletic Conference.
Conference USA 
 The conference sends several teams to bowl games every year, including the Liberty Bowl and New Orleans Bowl.
Conference USA 
 Memphis (now a member of The American) has been the most successful men's basketball team in the conference, reaching the national championship game in 2008. (
Conference USA 
 However, the NCAA later took Memphis's wins from that season away because a Memphis player, namely Derrick Rose, had not been eligible to play.)
Conference USA 
 Conference USA now has 14 "full members" which play most of their sports in the league; all except Rice are public schools.
Conference USA 
 C-USA now has five "associate members"—schools that are full members of another conference who play select sports in C-USA.
Conference USA 
 Two play men's soccer in the conference, two others play women's beach volleyball, and one houses both sports in C-USA.
Conference USA 
 In addition to the former full members, 14 other schools have been associate members in the past, but have moved their C-USA sports elsewhere.
Conference USA 
 Most notably, the United States Military Academy, more often called "Army" in a sports context, was a football member from 1996 to 2005 (final C-USA season in 2004).
Sewall Wright 
 He extended this work to populations, calculating the degree of inbreeding of members of populations as a result of random genetic drift.
Sewall Wright 
 Together with Fisher, he pioneered methods for calculating the distribution of gene frequencies among  populations as a result of the interaction of natural selection, mutation, migration and genetic drift.
Sewall Wright 
 The work of Fisher, Wright, and Haldane on theoretical population genetics was a major step in the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis of genetics with evolution.
Sewall Wright 
 In order to evolve to another, higher peak, the species would first have to pass through a valley of maladaptive intermediate stages.
Sewall Wright 
 In other words, they get stuck on one peak, and can't get to another because getting there would make them less competitive.
Sewall Wright 
 If there was some gene flow between the populations, these adaptations could spread to the rest of the species.
Sewall Wright 
 There has been much skepticism among evolutionary biologists as to whether this happens in natural populations.
Sewall Wright 
 Wright had a long standing and sometimes bitter debate about this with R.A. Fisher, who felt that most populations in nature were too large for the effects of genetic drift to be important.
Sewall Wright 
 Research by Dobzhansky and E.B. Ford showed that natural selection in the field was a much stronger force that Wright had expected.
Sewall Wright 
 An anecdote about Wright, disclaimed by Wright himself, describes a lecture during which Wright tucked an unruly guinea pig under his armpit, where he usually held a chalkboard eraser: at the end of the lecture, Wright absent-mindedly erased the blackboard with the guinea pig.
Tartan 
 Tartan Day, a day set aside for the celebration of the Scottish influence on North America, Australia and New Zealand, but not celebrated in Scotland itself.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 
 It is a spin-off of the Ace Attorney games starring Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe, two main characters in the series.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 
 The games in the Ace Attorney series are courtroom dramas, but Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth focuses on pointing and clicking around the area, moving Edgeworth around the crime scenes to find evidence.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 
 When it was being developed, it was called NEW Gyakuten NOT Saiban because it used the same setting and characters, but different gameplay.
Sun Belt Conference 
 The Sun Belt Conference is a group of college sports teams that play each other on the NCAA Division I level.
Sun Belt Conference 
 Of the current 12 full members (those playing most of their sports in the league), 10 play football in the top-level Division I FBS.
Sun Belt Conference 
 The Sun Belt announced four new members in a two-week span in October and November 2021, all of which sponsor football.
Sun Belt Conference 
 Old Dominion, which had been a Sun Belt member from 1982 to 1991, will rejoin, and three more schools will join for the first time.
Sun Belt Conference 
 In the past, the Sun Belt has had "associate members" that play only a few sports, usually one, in the league, but has had none since it shut down its men's soccer league after the 2020–21 school year.
Sun Belt Conference 
 The first school to abandon single-sport membership was Utah State, which played Sun Belt football in 2003 and 2004 before joining the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 2005.
Sun Belt Conference 
 New Mexico State first joined the Sun Belt as a full member in 2000, and brought its football team into the Sun Belt the next year.
Sun Belt Conference 
 During the early 2010s, NCAA Division I went through a major phase of conference changes, with most leagues gaining or losing multiple members.
Sun Belt Conference 
 The WAC was one of the most affected conferences, going through a nearly complete membership turnover that left Idaho and New Mexico State as the league's only football schools.
Sun Belt Conference 
 The conference announced in 2016 that its agreements for Idaho and New Mexico State to play football in the league would not be renewed when they ended after the 2017 season.
Sun Belt Conference 
 NJIT (the New Jersey Institute of Technology) was another victim of this realignment; it was forced to become an independent (not in a conference) when its former league, the Great West Conference, collapsed.
Sun Belt Conference 
 Its men's soccer team joined the Sun Belt in 2014, a year before the school found a home in the ASUN Conference.
Sun Belt Conference 
 Although the ASUN sponsors men's soccer, NJIT kept that team in the Sun Belt until 2016, honoring its two-year contract to play in that league.
Sun Belt Conference 
 Another recent change involved Hartwick, which had long competed in Division I men's soccer despite otherwise being in NCAA Division III.
Sun Belt Conference 
 In 2018, Hartwick aligned completely with Division III, moving its men's soccer team to its full-time home of the Empire 8.
Sun Belt Conference 
 The most recent changes came in 2021, when the Sun Belt shut down its men's soccer league after it dropped below the number of members needed to keep the automatic berth its champion received in the NCAA tournament.
Mountain West Conference 
 The Mountain West Conference (abbreviated as either "MW" or "MWC") is a group of colleges and universities in the Western United States, who play NCAA Division I sports against one another.
Mountain West Conference 
 Most of the original members had been members of the WAC before it grew from 10 schools to 16 in 1996.
Mountain West Conference 
 Due to a major realignment of Division I conferences, the MW and Conference USA announced plans to merge into one conference, possibly for the 2013–14 school year.
Mountain West Conference 
 Two schools are "associate members", meaning that they play in the MW in some sports while playing most other sports in another league.
Mid-American Conference 
 The Mid-American Conference (MAC) is a college sports conference whose full members are located in the Great Lakes region of the United States.
Mid-American Conference 
 In football, the MAC is one of 10 conferences that play in the top-level Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
Mid-American Conference 
 The MAC was founded in 1946 by five schools in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, but only one of the founding members, Ohio University, is still in the conference.
Mid-American Conference 
 Currently, the MAC has 12 full members, all public schools, each of which competes in at least 15 MAC sports.
Mid-American Conference 
 Every member of the conference competes in football, baseball, men's and women's basketball, and the following women's sports: cross country, soccer, softball, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball.
