			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been ages since I&#8217;ve paid attention to statistics, and I&#8217;ve had little education in it because I followed the other math course in Hight School. That might explain why I liked <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070124/sigman_01.shtml">this article</a> that was linked on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.slashdot.org">slashdot</a>. It is a piece about statistics in game design, but it also was a refresher of many things I know in the back of my head, but had quite forgotten. If statistics is old hat for you it probably won&#8217;t have much to over, but if it had sunken away a little, or if you want to test how it can help in your design of a game, go read it, it is good and a fun read (and written by a former mechanical engineer who has style if you don&#8217;t mind the cheesy pictures).</p>
<p>*edit* The <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20061018/sigman_01.shtml">first part</a> of the series is an interesting read as well.</p>
