http://www.ebyte.it/library/Library.html; Very many interesting articles in online format. I wish only they made use of jsMath for equations on some of the pages -- they would look much better

http://homepage.univie.ac.at/Franz.Vesely/cp_tut/nol2h/new/; I've got to this page by looking at jsMath in action... What a great online material, and jsMath really rules!

Bayesian Critique of Statistics in Health: Oct 2, 2006 11:29am 1 review science, statistics
http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/users/goguen/courses/275f00/stat.html; Indeed, blind use of statistics can do harm. Accounting for prior information using Bayes' theorem sounds like a good treat but the problem is again "what prior?". From the page 'Over the next 30 years, other statisticians also sounded the alarm bell, again without effect. During the 1980s, Prof James Berger of Purdue University - a world authority on Bayes's Theorem - published an entire series of papers alerting researchers to the "astonishing" tendency of the standard statistical tests to mislead. 'Significant evidence'," Berger warned, "can actually arise when the data provide very little or no evidence in favour of an effect." The warning could not have been clearer. But again, it was ignored.'

http://www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/index.cfm?page=1373; That is very cool to dig into such ancient online archive archive, from the page: "Nearly three and a half centuries of scientific study and achievement is now available online in the Royal Society Journals Digital Archive following its official launch this week. This is the longest-running and arguably most influential journal archive in Science, including all the back articles of both Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings"
