<p>In my opinion this question does not belong on this website.</p>

<p>Firstly, this is a site for experts. The intended users of this sites are using their stuff in the real world (yes, universities are also real world in this topic)</p>

<p>As we are all experts, this question has no purpose on this site. It only invites to summing up broad topics, or not being specific on the application anyway. A list of possible applications of statistical analyses is something you expect on a wikipedia-page (which is targeted on novices), not on an expert site.</p>

<p>Especially in the beginning of this site, I would suggest to not have this topics. If this is allowed now, every question of "Real world usages of method X" where X is an related method would possible qualify for the site.</p>

<p>IMHO this site should be a Q&amp;A site, not a site for getting inspiration, hearing great stories, or bragging about your job.</p>
