Your own criticism is kind of fuzzy. What exactly does one write about? For example, would http://www.gwern.net/Modafinil#ordering-with-learning be the sort of Bayesian discussion you'd want to see, or is that too elementary and you'd rather something that looks like a later chapter of PT:tLoS?
That's the sort of thing I was thinking of. I want a whole series of content from elementary to advanced.
I suppose what I'm calling for is LW to write a stats textbook with a LW angle on things.
Of course possibly the answer is that such books already exist and I should go read them instead of LW.
What would you call a LW angle on things in the context of a math textbook?
I'm not totally sure (I want to read the book!), but at the very least it'd have more real-world applications than the books on the subject I've looked at.
