Handy Statistical Lexicon — in Japanese!

So, one day I get this email from Kentaro Matsuura:

Dear Professor Andrew Gelman,

I’m a Japanese Stan user and write a blog to promote Stan. (and translator of https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Getting-Started-(Japanese))

I believe your post on “Handy statistical lexicon (http://andrewgelman.com/2009/05/24/handy_statistic/)” is so great that I’d like to translate and spread the post in my blog. Could I do that?

Sincerely, Kentaro

Wow, how cool is that? Of course I said yes, please do it.

A week later Kentaro wrote to ask for a favor:

Could I change some terms slightly so that Japanese could have more familiarity? For example, there is no “self-cleaning oven” in Japan, but there is “self-cleaning air conditioner”.

I had no idea.

And here it is!
