Dec 7, 2011 at 20:30 comment added Brian Diggs @Spacedman I think this fits squarely in the realm for this site since the question is "Can anyone suggest methods, preferably as efficient and simple as possible, to simulate from" a given probability distribution. That is a computational questions (though one that does come up in statistics).

Dec 7, 2011 at 15:11 comment added Faheem Mitha @Spacedman: Well, I thought the idea was for this site to be a sort of meta-computation site akin to SO for programming. I'd be disappointed if it turns into a purely applied maths affair. Maybe part of the reason is that currently applied math people have nowhere else to go on SE. Which makes me wonder if lots of bioinformatics people are going to show up too. I just posted on stats.sx chat suggesting people visit here. Maybe I should post on meta stats too.

Dec 7, 2011 at 13:56 comment added Spacedman I thought the idea with SE was that overlapping fields would live on one site with a tag. I'm wondering if this scicomp site is a good idea now... We'll see.
Dec 7, 2011 at 13:40 comment added Fomite @Spacedman I think the two overlap nicely - I've started suggesting for a small number of qs over there that they come here.
Dec 7, 2011 at 10:47 comment added Spacedman Try asking on stats.stackexchange.com - actually that seems to be my answer to a lot of qs on here.... problem?
