Population Statistics

The things we care about are statistics that can be calculated from the distribution.

  • the mode of the candidate distribution
  • the median height of the trees, divided by the MAD of the number of branchings2
  • the mean and standard deviation of the number rolled
  • etc.

  1. I am sure that nobody cares about this metric. The point is that a “statistic” can be any function of the distribution.↩︎
