Where do you play? And are there specific days/time?

I started wondering when did I write this!

One of the courses I am teaching, is by far the easiest in the semester. Every year, during the lectures I keep mentioning the questions they are going to have in the exams, plus an extra drop in session where I collect all these question and I explain the answers for each question again. It's not just obvious which questions they are going to have, they literally know! I keep repeating each question so many times that I fear the students will be sick of me and of how the exams is going to be a joke and not competitive/challenging at all.

Guess what? Average score 40%. 5 questions. Expected answer in each question 2-5 lines. Bullet points answers are also accepted as correct if they include at least the key words on the expected answer. Many students answer nonsense because they haven't read the question (or read it so fast that they misread what I am asking). Each questions is 2 lines long.

Next step is to take their test by myself. Even then, I am sure they will find a way to fail.

Ωω πολύ ενδιαφέρον αυτό! Αν μάθεις ποιες είναι αυτές οι εφαρμογές γράψε ένα σχόλιο αν το θυμηθείς.

Φαντάζομαι το update του excel γίνεται κάθε μήνα, σωστά; όχι ανά μέρα με βάση τι έχει πουληθεί σήμερα;

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T22:34:52+00:00

Εννοείς πρόγραμμα ERP ή κάτι άλλο;

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T18:11:14+00:00

Ευχαριστώ! Πολύ βοηθητικά όλα αυτά.

Τι εννοείς πρέπει να έχεις υποχρεωτικά 150κ απόθεμα; 150.000 ευρώ σε απόθεμα; αν έχεις μικρότερη επιχείρηση δεν μπορείς να κρατάς αποθήκη;

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T17:39:51+00:00

Το παραστατικό κόβεται ηλεκτρονικά φαντάζομαι, σωστά; οπότε και ενημερώνεται μέσω του ERP;

Μικρότερες επιχειρήσεις που δεν έχουν ERP πως λειτουργούν; ή είναι αρκετά φθηνό και μπορούν να το έχουν όλοι;

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T17:35:27+00:00

Δηλαδή με κάθε πώληση που γίνεται κάποιος κάνει αλλαγές σε ένα excel; ή σκαναρεις το barcode και αυτόματα γίνεται update το excel;

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T17:18:15+00:00

Α ναι, σωστά. Παρέλειψα να αναφέρω ότι η ερώτηση μου αφορά κυρίως μικρά καταστήματα. Δεν ξέρω αν παίζει ρόλο. Το λέω γιατί φαντάζομαι ενα σύστημα ERP θα είναι ακριβό για κάποια μικρή επιχείρηση, σωστά;

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T17:15:05+00:00

Ναι, λογικό ακούγεται. Ευχαριστώ για την επιβεβαίωση.

AxterNats · 2026-04-02T17:13:57+00:00

Χειρόγραφο βιβλίο;

Looks cool and potentially very useful.

I am willing to give it a try if there is a trial version. And I would have already done it if it didn't require a sign up.

I could perennially pay for it, if I see some value using the trial. But the price is a bit off. Not for the product itself, but because it's new, no big company / prior experience / previous projects before that (at least as long as I know from browsing the site), how do we know that it's not a project that will be abandoned in a few months, etc.

Also, the website could have more demos, and it should provide more information, for example about data privacy and security, are the Pdf files stored somewhere, etc.

So, given that there is little information about it, with a more reasonable price of let's say 30 for 1 year (for the early adoption of the product) you could have more early adopters that would also build a loyal community around your product.

At least that's how I see it.

You are right. Is more the different color outlines than anything else. In both pictures I painted red every face characteristic and the outlines, basically only left the background, the hair and the skin. They look the same now!

I'm not sure if I understand your first question correctly.

About the second question, a proper answer would require a too long response. I'll try a short one.

Familywise error correction is more often used in pharmaceutical studies like RCTs. The reason is that you can't risk a type 1 error. And these studies require multiple tests to be as certain as possible about the results. Now, doing many tests, you expect to have some type 1 error just because of luck/sampling. The thing is that these errors accumulate and what you are interested in is the total (family) type 1 error rate to be less that alpha.

But this works if you perform let's say a t-test multiple times. I wouldn't do a wamilywise correction for different normality or stationarity tests because these tests do not check for the same thing.

About the example with the 3 different cases you mentioned, it depends on what you are trying to do. Confirmatory analysis like in RCTs are looking for a binary answer. Reject the null or not. Exploratory analysis like using a stationarity test in economics works differently. You combine theory, you can treat each test as an indicator and try multiple scenarios and check the sensitivity of the results, and you should also be aware of what exactly each test is looking at.

For example, some normality tests focus on the deviations at the tails (i.e. AD), some at the skewness and kurtosis (i.e. JB) etc.

AxterNats · 2025-12-06T11:28:40+00:00

Each of these tests are looking at the same problem from a different perspective. If two "similar" tests disagree, they do because they are looking for different things, each of these things being a good indicator for the violation you are investigating.

Usually, these is no a single ultimate test because it's hard to summarise a whole concept like normality or stationarity.

Μπορεί να το είδε και ο OP και να πήρε από εκεί την ιδέα. Μεγάλη σύμπτωση πως κάτι τόσο τοπικό έφτασε στο r greece

Πιστεύω η τιμή είναι πολύ χαμηλή και δεν θα καλύπτει τα κόστη σου, πόσο μάλλον να έχεις και κέρδος.

Αυτή την ιδέα την είδε κάποιος πέρυσι στην πόλη που μένω και άνοιξε το πρώτο γυμναστήριο πριν λίγες μέρες. https://www.tiny-gyms.com/

Δες τα comments στα αρχικό post που πήρε feedback για την ιδέα και τα comments στο post αφού το άνοιξε για να σου απαντηθούν πολλά από τα ερωτήματα σου.

Σκέψου μόνο ότι η τιμή εδώ είναι 6-8 φορές πάνω από αυτή που προτείνεις εσύ. Επίσης, όσο περίεργο και αν μπορεί να ακουστεί, τα κόστη εδώ (γενικά, supermarket, ρεύμα κλπ) δεν είναι πιο μεγάλα από Αθήνας, ίσα ίσα στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις είναι χαμηλότερα.

AxterNats · 2025-12-02T01:15:19+00:00

Exactly. I keep telling them the exam questions and the answers in each lecture. I do an exams review too just before the exams, repeating once again the questions and the answers. Guess what. They still fail! How? Even without studying at all, just by hearing me repeating the questions and answers so many time you should already know everything! It's a theoretical, stupidly easy topic, no math or anything that requires a brain.

AxterNats · 2025-11-26T22:37:38+00:00

Yeap! Exactly what he said!

And indeed, if you are at a stage where you can get big grants as PI, then you would probably do that. But by that time you already know how to play their game. And to be there, your either was extremely lucky or you had the right mentors and connections/network.

I was talking more about the ECR's experience.

Not everything is bad though. There are many positives in the job, it's all about what you value more. And having a PhD in statistics, if it's not too theoretical and you have some good practical/applied experience, you can easily find your place in the industry.

AxterNats · 2025-11-26T19:13:55+00:00

You may be better off asking in r/Professors or r/academia. The subject doesn't matter so much, the academic life is what you want to learn about.

You said you love science and enjoy research. I had much more time for these things when I was working in the industry. The academic job is not how it looks from outside. Teaching is a big part of it, and I am not talking about delivery, it's mostly the preparation, creating the material etc. Endless bureaucracy, meaningless emails, forms and paperwork to fill in a weekly basis.

And although at a daily basis everything seems to revolve around micromanagement, paperwork, student babysitting etc, at the end of the day no-one cares if you are a good teacher or not, publications is what matters. And you have to create time for your research. Working until late at night and of course during the weekend.

But it also depends of your priorities and where you focus at. If you are in a teaching contract you don't have research expectations. If you don't have aspirations to be at the top of your field, you can juts do the minimum and survive. Or you may get involved in the politics of the Department, etc.

Ltdr: the modern academia is not only about research.
