EPA Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are publishing for comment a draft NPDES Vessel General Permit (VGP) that would authorize discharges incidental to the normal operation of non-military and non-recreational vessels greater than or equal to 79 feet in length.

Before Carl Friedrich Gauss was even born, Abraham deMoivre used the Gaussian distribution in 1733 to approximate the binomial distribution. In the early 1800s, while supervising a surveying project, Gauss observed that the average of repeated measurements tends to have a bell shaped distribution. While some definitions are neutral, others suggest it is bad to be non-normal. Whoever first applied the normal label to the Gaussian distribution could have had neutral intent, but today's typical presentation of the normal distribution in Six Sigma training is far from neutral. Many statistical tools for estimation and testing do not assume a Gaussian or any other distribution. Two of the most common Six Sigma tools, control charts and capability metrics, do not have nonparametric versions t...
