GB fan, thanks for your warm welcome and for creating my talk page! Over here it is 0:47, so I will get myself some sleep now. I will return to your answer again tomorrow (after work).
Hi! I know you have had troubles with creating pages, so I have created your userpage! You can design it as much as you like with instructions that can be found at the User page design center. Happy editing! plumaØ 04:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cochran's C test [1], named after William G. Cochran, is a one-sided upper limit variance outlier test.
Nothing in that sentence informs the lay reader that statistics, as opposed to theology, jurisprudence, gold mining, etc., is what the article is about. I added "In statistics,..." at the beginning. Sometimes that's unnecessary because of the name of the article or because the first sentence says "...is a statistical test..." or the like, but in this case I think it was needed.
