Apr 17, 2021 at 14:42 comment added Will Sawin This is, in my opinion, a great example of machine learning / statistics work which wastes effort by not incorporating pre-existing mathematical knowledge and heuristics for the topic area. More generally, when working with any dataset, it's important to understand where the data comes from and whether it consists of a biased sample from a larger population. In this case, the elliptic curves in the LMFDB are, by construction, elliptic curves of small conductor (or smallish prime conductor, or highly smooth conductor). This heavily influences the statistics.
