<p>So many people study and apply statistics of some kind that it’s only natural that we would get lots of applied questions.</p>
<p>At the same time, there are excellent statisticians among our ranks, and users should not feel any need to hold back when it comes to posting research-level questions. I personally have posted multiple questions about fairly recent literature, for instance.</p>
<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/569036/challenge-an-icml-paper-for-a-given-set-of-probability-predictions-and-a-log-lo">Challenge an ICML Paper</a></p>
<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/552533/247274">Does Multinomial Probability Calibration Consider the Probabilities of the Non-Dominant Classes</a></p>
<p>If there were to be a “Stat Overflow”, it would come from users wanting to separate out the research-level questions from more routine questions, not because Cross Validated lacks the technical acumen to handle research-level questions.</p>
<p>(And “Stat Overflow” would be quite the name for us to use!)</p>
