From the site itself: this is "a question and answer site for people interested in statistics <....> built and run <...> as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites". It functions well and often provides timely and good quality answers for a wide variety of questions. For someone stuck with a concrete problem in econometrics, I know no better place to turn to.Daumantashttp://stats.stackexchange.com/tournoreply@blogger.com
