I feel this would be quite confusing for an average programmer. It is more like a cheat sheet for people who have some statistical training but always have to look the formulas up because they don't use them frequently enough. For an average programmer, really understanding how linear regression works and some basic linear algebra would be a good start. A lot of programmers have trouble even with these "simple" topics. Most of these formulas are very rarely used even by quantitative analysts. The most used are for standard deviation and regression. The more complicated ones are generally used as a part of statistical routines, say, in R. It is very rare that someone has to code them. > From a statistical point of view, 5 events is

What is this supposed to mean? There is a concept of statistical significance but if an effect is not statistically significant it does not follow that it does not exist. Btw where is the Bayes formula? :) |
