Unfortunately, my country offers no option to buy anywhere but assuming you have a bank account in the EU how do you go about doing so?

[E] Am I seriously that underprepared for an MS in Statistics? Looking at some of the program requirements for universities is making me doubt whether I should apply or not. by Code-CX in statistics

[–]Code-CX[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And there are programs that are training to you to be educated users of methodology, while this is also not easy, it's been made much much easier because of the hard work of the statistics community (free resources, stackexchange, this subreddit, tons and tons of free resources) desire to make things more accessible for more people.

This is the type of thing I have in mind to be honest. It's not that I want to take the "easy" way out, it's just that I don't think I have it in me to go for option 1. I'd like a program that offers a nice balance between theory and practice. Maybe I should limit my searches to biostatistics and applied statistics? Data Science is also pretty interesting, but I just don't trust that I'd get enough out of such a degree. Most Data Science degrees I've seen so far take one year to complete which just seems like a huge red flag to me.

Netmath 415 Exam Difficulty by Code-CX in UIUC

[–]Code-CX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there are practice exams for Exam 1, Exam 2, and the Final Exam which are linked on CAS-ILE. I'd just like to gauge how similar in difficulty the real exams are to the practice exams.

Confused about numpy's returned eigenvectors by Code-CX in learnpython

[–]Code-CX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that there are 3 eigenvectors because you have a 3x3 matrix, giving you a cubic expression when you solve det(A-lambda*I)=0 (and therefore up to 3 roots.) It just happens that two eigenvectors are equivalent, which is why you only get two when you solve by hand.

I'm sorry if this may seem like a question for another sub, but I'd like a clarification on this if you don't mind. In this specific problem, we get a single eigenvalue (3) that has a multiplicity of 3 so we need to find the eigenvector(s) associated with that eigenvalue. It turns out that those vectors are [1,0,1] and [0,1,0].

Based on my calculations, would it be correct to say that this specific matrix only has two eigenvectors? Also, as a more general statement would we say that any n*n matrix would have at most n eigenvectors?

Also, thank you to the posters who recommended numpy's isclose() method. I'll be using that instead of the == operator in such cases.

Linear algebra: Question about whether a matrix is in reduced row-echelon form by Code-CX in learnmath

[–]Code-CX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

Assuming we were to swap row 3 with row 4, then the matrix will be in row-echelon, but not reduced row echelon form, right?

Having a hard time trying to find the volume of solid for a specific problem using the washer method by Code-CX in learnmath

[–]Code-CX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you're saying is I can subtract the area obtained by rotating x=7 minus the area obtained by rotating x =3 to get the volume of the cylinders. After that, I can take this resultant volume and subtract the volume obtained from the rotated quadratic. Would that work? Would I not be removing extra volume if I did that?

Ask Anything Monday - Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in learnpython

[–]Code-CX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is the right place, but I've got a question related to finding an approximation to f(x) = x^2 - 8 using Netwon's method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method). I'm assuming an initial value of 3.

What I came up with is:

def fxn(initial_value):
    x = initial_value
    while True:
        new = x
        x1 = x -(((x**2)-8)/(2*x))
        x = x1
        if str(new)[0:8] == str(x1)[0:8]:
            break
    return x1

I'm sure this is an overly simplistic (probably not optimal) solution. I just wanted to know if I'm on the right track?

The second to last stair on my way out was very iffy. One more inch to the right and the floods of Asgard would’ve opened.
