In subsection A below, listed are articles which are missing from the List of probability topics. They were found by looking in the categories in subsection C. One can add more categories to be searched to subsection C, see some suggestions in subsection D.
All this process can be restarted by clicking on the link at the bottom of subsection E.
Please note that anything around here is editable, but please don't modify the lines of the form

= Organize the list =
I suggest that we work on organizing the list so that it is more readable.Tindy 13:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
: Organizing which list, the list of probability topics itself, or the output of my bot above? The entries above are meant to be carefully read by a person and put them in the list of probability topics as appropriate. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Remarks
About removing Kolmogorov's name from the 'foundations' section here - would everyone (including Bayesians) agree that the Kolmogorov foundations are the foundations?
Charles Matthews 09:03, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Are you trying to prove that "pure" mathematicians are those who know only mathematics?? I find this astonishing. No; virtually everyone would disagree, and find the proposition astonishing (except among "pure" mathematicians who are ignorant of this topic and don't suspect that they are ignorant). For example, see Cox's theorem (that article, as it stood when I saw it a few days ago, was flawed, but it should make clear that taking additivity as axiomatic is ridiculous), and Edwin T. Jaynes. Kolmogorov's axioms pretty much ignore foundational issues. Michael Hardy 01:14, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
... and see also Bayesianism. Michael Hardy 01:17, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I'm sure that Pierce's Law belongs on here somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Would someone please add it to the appropriate section? FunnyMan3595 04:30, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Well, I'm not so sure. That page is pure logic, as it stands. If there is probability content to the Law, it ought to be added there, really, before a link from here.
Charles Matthews 07:51, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean... I'll take another look at it later on, 's early in the morning, math doesn't make too much sense yet.
FunnyMan3595 15:10, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Looked at it again. No clue what I was thinking, disregard.

Archive
Anybody object if I archive this discussion page - maybe every 60 days?—G716 <T·C> 01:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
: It is not as if this talk page has that much traffic (we get roughly a post per half a year :) Either way, please don't archive the bot section above. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
