Question: What is an accurate technique for computing the moving
variance?
Answer: http://metaoptimize.com/qa/questions/287/what-is-an-accurate-technique-for-implementing-moving-variance

I have just launched a machine learning + statistics Q&A site:
http://metaoptimize.com/qa/
I announced it initially to ML people, and am now announcing it more
broadly to statisticians.
There isn't enough crosspolination between adjacent fields like stats,
ML, NLP, etc. The fact that we go to different conferences is a bug,
not a feature! My site aims to improve the communication between our
fields.

It's for statisticians + ML people + data miners to come together and
share knowledge and techniques, to document our ideas in an informal
online setting, and to discuss details that don't always make it into
publications.

Philip Resnick (UMD): "Looking at the questions being asked, the
people responding, and the quality of the discussion, I can already
see this becoming the go-to place for those 'under the hood' details
you rarely see in the textbooks or conference papers. This site is
going to save a lot of people an awful lot of time and frustration."

Why should you sign up and post a question or answer?

* Communicate with experts outside of your lab
* Crosspolinate information with researchers in adjacent fields (ML,
NLP, data mining, etc.)
* Answer a question once publicly, instead of potentially many times
over email
* Share knowledge to create additional impact beyond publication
* Find new collaborators

Please forward this announce to whomsoever might be interested.

I look forward to seeing you on the site!
