| Jul 21, 2013 at 8:29 | comment | added | Gala | The way I see it, this statement serves one main purpose: Avoiding pure programming questions like “How do I reformat a data frame in such and such a way?” that are perfectly acceptable on SE and would overwhelm statistics questions on this site. Software recommendations do not seem appropriate there and there is not going to be many of them anyway so I think we can just consider them on-topic. | |
