Topic: A statistical model of elegance and diffusion

Even though the NLP based models are binary (either present or not) that is still technically a statistical analysis 8)

However, the greatest use I can see is at a meta level in a similar vain to population genetics.

e.g. using statistics to see how these patterns/models are distributed across the population and what diffusion patterns they are exhibiting.

Of course the latter is really more an analysis of the model replication models and the learning models being used, however these models effect the spread of all other models - and therefore may justify a community project of their own.

I also think that statistics could be usefully applied to the analysis of what makes a model elegant and sufficient.  e.g. what level of simplification is utilised across the collected models and what impact if any this has - a statistical model of elegance.  There are a number of domains related to this in the world of computer programming such as code/compiler optimisation.

While the variables in an algebraic equation are simplifications that may represent some number of real world complex objects the simplification is well defined...whereas the simplifications involved NLP modelling are still largely an expression of the skill of the modeller.
