== Which countries/territories should be included == |

[[List of countries and dependencies by population]] - (This article is listed as Mid-importance on the Statistics WikiProject.) |
|||
A difference of opinion has arisen on which countries/territories should be ranked on this article. Specifically, whether all countries/territories should be ranked, or only UN member states. |
|||
The section is titled "''Sovereign states and dependencies by population''". From this title, it's unclear whether disputed states / territories (e.g. Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine) should be included. |
|||
The previous version of this article excluded disputed territories in the ranking, but '''also''' excluded dependencies (despite the section title). Presumably this decision was made by a previous editor, because dependencies are not UN members, and only UN members were ranked in the previous article version. |
|||
Column 1 of the table retains the UN member-only ranking, which was the only ranking shown in the previous version of this article. |

Hi team. I started working on an article draft about [[Draft:Sample ratio mismatch|sample ratio mismatch]], but I won't have much time to work on it right now. This is a pretty important topic because SRM errors are common, and even small discrepancies between the true and expected proportions of treatment groups can throw off experiments. I would appreciate help adding technical details to the article and finding reliable sources, as the only reliable source that uses the term "sample ratio mismatch" that I've been able to find is the KDD '19 paper. <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] (she/her • [[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]])</span> 02:05, 16 September 2022 (UTC) |

Which countries/territories should be included
[edit]List of countries and dependencies by population - (This article is listed as Mid-importance on the Statistics WikiProject.)
A difference of opinion has arisen on which countries/territories should be ranked on this article. Specifically, whether all countries/territories should be ranked, or only UN member states.
The section is titled "Sovereign states and dependencies by population". From this title, it's unclear whether disputed states / territories (e.g. Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine) should be included.
The previous version of this article excluded disputed territories in the ranking, but also excluded dependencies (despite the section title). Presumably this decision was made by a previous editor, because dependencies are not UN members, and only UN members were ranked in the previous article version.
Column 1 of the table retains the UN member-only ranking, which was the only ranking shown in the previous version of this article.
My recent edit added column 2 to the table, which ranks all countries/dependencies.
I opted to keep both columns rather than replace, to take a more conservative/inclusive approach. Discussion has been on whether to have only 1 ranking column, and if so, which to rank. One editor reverted the article to UN members-only ranking without discussion, but I have restored both columns and requested further discussion on the talk page.
Would appreciate more input from others as this seems quite an important topic. Please see "Ranking" on the talk page: Talk:List of countries and dependencies by population. Snowpeek (talk) 05:22, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Probability paradoxes or counter-intuitive problems
[edit]I published an article in Chance ( https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/N2ZHDVNZTCGQBQWTN5ZQ/full?target=10.1080/09332480.2024.2415844) citing flawed reasoning in these types of problems: they ask for the probability of an outome of an event that has occurred but answer with the probability of that outcome before the event has occurred. I edited Bertrand's box paradox - Wikipedia with the correct answer. But since the correct answer contradicts a history of the classical answer, my editing violates the Wikipedia:Verifiability#Exceptional claims require exceptional sourcing. How do I address that (if possible0 to correct what's currently in Wikipedia?
