Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group, whose aim is:
:''To improve Wikipedia's coverage of [[statistics]] and the organization of information and articles on this topic''.

This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Members|join]] the project, inquire on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Statistics|talk page]] and see the [[#Open tasks|to do lists]] below.

This WikiProject covers articles related to [[statistics]], including the history of statistics and biographies of [[statisticians]]. Articles within its scope include those in:
:*[[List of statistics topics]]
:*[[:Category:Statistics]] and its sub-categories
:*[[:Category:Statisticians]] and its sub-categories
An expandable tree view of subcategories of [[:Category:Statistics]] is available at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CategoryTree?target=Statistics&mode=categories&dotree=Show+Tree CategoryTree->Statistics].

{{Project page count|project=Statistics}}

A ranking of articles on statistical topics by recent page views is at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Statistics/Popular_pages]].

The [[list of statistics topics]] is being extended to include existing articles not previously listed and any new or unlisted statistics-related articles should be added. The list contains over 2750 items, including some redirects (18 February 2013: was 2642 on 17 October 2011; 2233 on 29 July 2009; 1731 on 31 December 2008; and 945 on 22 May 2008).  The list is not at present very sophisticated and this project could undertake general improvements given that lists are far more versatile than categories. Look at [[lists of mathematics topics]] for examples.

Some priority articles that the project hopes to make progress with are those in:
*[[:Category:Statistics stubs]] ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Statistics stubs|R}} articles)
*[[:Category:Statistics articles needing expert attention]] ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Statistics articles needing expert attention|R}} articles)
