Hi there,

I'm very glad to use the R-help mailing list for R-related question but more
and more often I face general statistical problems. Does anyone know by chance
a community (mailinglist, forum, ...) where I can ask these kind of questions?

I'm glad for any link or hint :-)

I myself have recently started lurking at the Allstat and Stat-L lists.
Stat-L does not seem very active, and my impression of Allstat is that
it's mostly used for distributing information about conferences and
vacancies. In addition, Allstat does not encourage discussion on-list -
their rules ask you to reply to people in person. I myself prefer
on-list discussions, as I frequently learn from these (just by lurking).

So you could also try out these two lists - and if you find anything
else, I would love to hear about them :-)

Kind regards,

Gjalt-Jorn

When discussions do burst out on the allstat list, people are usually
pointed to one of the following alternatives:

http://datashaping.ning.com/forum

You might also try...
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.stat.consult
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.stat.edu
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.stat.math
Although I can't swear these don't overlap with some already mentioned.
