Talk:eventology

I feel this word was just made up. Its definition is imprecise and, dare I say it, vague. Googling it only returns references to this link. Google Scholar returns a few articles by Russians.
 * Every word was made up at some point. The question is whether it's in use. If you search in Google Books, there are enough uses to meet our Criteria for inclusion. I think there are at least a couple senses and a few one-time coinages, not to mention what seems to be a trademark. So, the truth is that it's both a word in real use with specific definitions and a vague, made-up thing used "for lack of a better term". Chuck Entz (talk) 14:30, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Of course every word was made up. But I am saying it was *just* made up somewhat recently for another wiki article. I work on the edge of statistics, and I haven't seen it in the literature. I think it's a word that non-native English speakers have translated literally, which is OK, but it's not in common use in English. (It's a bit like how Germans often use the word "stochastics" in English.) The books that do use the word "eventology" seem to use it in another sense -- not a statistical one. Then there books referring to another's book title containing "eventology"Improbable keeler (talk) 16:10, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
