Methodology
I just ran across good, concise reviews of probability, Monte Carlo techniques, and especially statistical concepts (Estimators, maximum likelihood, Bayesian statistics, and more) at the the Particle Data Group. Hope you can find it useful. -Casey

Media aka weather, and Magnetosphere processing? It's really a question of application: the closer to actual physical and empirical systems the better,
because we've never really modeled our social or charitable projects. But for what it's worth, we do have actual data.
