In the "Generalizations" section, I am missing pairwise/k-wise independence mentioned (i.e. any pair/k-tuple in the sequence is independent, but larger subsets are not necessarily independent). Pairwise/k-wise independence is used in theoretical CS. --David Pal

Looks like this would be the corresponding article in German Wikipedia

It links to:

There in the text you will find "i.i.d. (für independent and identically distributed)".

I am leaving this in the 'talk' page, in case my edit is sloppy and removed-- but I aim to include some important information I learned today about IUDs and female anatomy, which is very mundane, but little known information: 'uterine malformation' is a common occurrence in women. We are not informed of its likelihood purchasing a potentially expensive IUD.

It is estimated that between 7% women according to wiki's Interuterine Malformation page (other sources will report as high as one fifth of womem) is born with a uterine malformation.

When a uterus has an unusual shape, it cannot always accomodate an IUD in such a way that it is effective. The uterus, may literally be cleft in half, making 2 uteri. Some women have 2 cervixes, or 2 vaginas. 

These unusually common malformations (they are here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_malformation ), absolutely must have a link in this article, for people considering its use and potential functionality.

A uterus with 2 chambers cannot be sufficiently protected from pregnancy with this contraception in the same way a woman with a normal uterus would, and I had never heard of the prevalence of this condition.

Any consumer of this product unaware of the link, or the structure of their uterus runs a risk of pregnancy as wasting money.

In short, an informational relationship between the IUD page and the Uterine Malformation page would be a very helpful one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_malformation


Not soure how to add the langunage link in this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.208.167.145 (talk) 17:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
