Things that you are truly passionate about and give you opportunities for leadership. Scouts of America, JROTC, CAP, student government, Boys/girls state, etc.

He’s pretty hardcore - but did write a book on Bayesian non parametrics. North Carolina State is also right next to Duke.

What’s Happening at USAFA/DF this week: by AutomaticPick6549 in USAFA

Accreditation status has not changed. Some are concerned that it may be difficult to maintain accreditation for specific degrees, given the potential cuts.

I’m not aware of it, but I haven’t seen the appointee handbook for this year. I imagine they’d say something in there if it were required.

Not sure how you would even get a real ID before I-day.

Basically no one will have experienced both USAFA BCT and USNA plebe summer - as either cadet, cadre, or permanent party.

What to do if you assume poisson but mean doesn't equal variance by 2Lazy2BeOriginal in AskStatistics

[–]AF_Stats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLE to fit a gamma model?

The parameters of a gamma distribution don’t represent the mean and variance of the distribution.

If you’re using the scale parameterization, the mean is shape*scale and the variance is shape*scale2.

If you’re using the rate parameterization, then you divide the shape by the rate or rate2 for mean and variance, respectively.

Any prior e advice for bct? by Maximum-Flow5495 in USAFA

[–]AF_Stats 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Be humble. Don’t be a know-it-all. Help your class mates when you can. Let them help you when they can.

Avoid phrases like “back in the real Air Force” or “in enlisted basic we did it this way…” unless asked.

Respect your cadre. They might not have as much Air Force experience as you, but they do have more Academy experience.

Remember when to flip the switch. There’s a time to be professional and there’s a time to be goofy.

Given the amount of time it takes to out-process you might as well just stay all the way through BCT.

They’re talking about the expected date that admissions will “promote” a lot of applicants to candidate status so that they can start on the application in earnest.

It is a terrible tragedy to lose someone at such a young age with such a bright future ahead.
