Please post your tag synonym suggestions as new answers in this thread, one answer per suggestion. Upvote answers where you believe that the suggested tags should be made synonyms, and downvote answers where you believe the tags should remain separate. Well upvoted suggestions will be eventually implemented by the moderators (and then the corresponding answers will be deleted).

    $\begingroup$ @whuber, if this is inappropriate or unhelpful, then I can delete it, but my goal is the opposite: I don't want you (or the other mods) to have to spend time thinking about this & doing a lot of extra research. I'm hoping to bring this to the attention of the community, which, by voting (commenting, etc), will have done all of that for you guys. Nb, w/ respect to lme & multilevel, I'm not sure anyone will have the requisite upvotes--there have only been 3 questions w/ multilevel, according to it's page. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Looking at this again I see we also have survey-weights which I would have thought was a proper subset of survey-sampling $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I would say these are not the same thing (-1), although there is certainly a deeper connection. FPR is a concept that goes w/ sensitivity & specificity, and positive & negative predictive values (& ROC curves, etc). The FDR is an idea that belongs with the Bonferroni correction & multiple comparisons. $\endgroup$

We have two general tags for statistical testing,
(5000Q and wiki)
(8000Q and wiki)

While there might be a difference in definition, it seems most linguistic to me, and I can see no difference in use.

    $\begingroup$ Thanks. I see a subtle difference, but it's reasonable to ask if the typical asker can, & if they will be used well enough to helpfully contribute to the organization of the material on the site. If we do make them synonyms, I would favor ht as the master. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I sincerely doubts if the average user can see a difference, and that is not anyhow manifest in the use. I think the difference is more cultural, h-t being more Neyman-Pearson, s-s being more Brittish and Fisherian. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It's not from me. It would be better if the downvoter made an explicit case. If that doesn't materialize, my take would be that there isn't consensus here & I'd table this. There was a suggestion earlier that I really thought should go through (sandwich), but we didn't get consensus & I ultimately deleted it. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This isn't the same as interaction. It has to do with the structure / relationship between 2+ sets of random effects in a mixed model. However, there is no excerpt & it is ripe for misuse. Oddly, there is only 1 Q, & I don't see how that person (rep 23) could have created the tag. That Q links to another thread that could use the tag, but already has 5. There may be others, I didn't really search. It may be best to just remove the tag & let it disappear after 24 hours. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @gung: Well, it has 28 posts, not 1 Could you write a tag wiki and point out why its different from interaction? OK, I found: stats.stackexchange.com/questions/228800/… $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ OK, I made a new tag, [crossed-random-effects] (less likely to be misused, IMO), & I added a basic excerpt. I suggest making [ce] a synonym of [cre] & merging them, then deleting the synonym; [ce] will disappear. $\endgroup$
