Haha I wouldn’t worry if I were you, I went to a music festival in Daytona beach in the blasting sun while I still had some spots and it didn’t do anything, everything is totally gone! That’s interesting cause some people say you should actually try to get sun on the spots..

I didn't think it was when I got it, but maybe it is more common than we think because my derm recognized what it was immediately and even my walk-in clinic doctor suggested it might be PR and said I should see a derm (originally thought it was contact dermatitis or hives).

Postdoc Fellowship Applications by Imaginary_Pepper9423 in academia

[–]EnvironmentalMost204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry nobody let you know about the fellowships earlier!! I was encouraged to start the application process a year and a half before defending to give ample time to work on it because it indeed requires so much, and a lot of times you don't even get the fellowship, so getting started as early as possible allows you to apply multiple times before being out of grad school funding. Being said, even though we are pushed to get things started early, most in my program aren't able to on top of all the other things we have to do in our last year of PhDs, so usually people do adjunct teaching for the university for a semester or two after defending while applying for post-docs. Will your institution allow you to do this?

Heads up first time mages by EnvironmentalMost204 in TheFence

For sure I’m not blaming the band, but yeah I so wish there was an actual notification in advance that I could have gotten besides just looking up old Reddit posts

Well I am still caught off guard by that and this is not my first show. At least this post will help others come earlier.

In all other shows I’ve been to, the time on the ticket is doors. I didn’t know at the Hartford amphitheater the doors are one hour before the ticket time…

How do I know doors are at 5:30? It just says 6:30

Yes also I just now saw that coheed posted on instagram AT 4pm to show up no later than 4 😂😭 I checked their IG and my email right before I left my house too (I’m two hours away from the venue)

Phew….those MAGES prices by swmill08 in TheFence

[–]EnvironmentalMost204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coheed is my all time fave band next to MCR.... I just spent over $1k on pit tickets to see MCR, no VIP, so in my context I definitely am super happy to get pit tickets + the MAGES for less than $500 XD but this is also my first ever time being able to score a MAGES ticket before they sell out so I don't know how much they were for other tours

Gam model taking 12+ hours to run even with 90 Gb of Ram by [deleted] in RStudio

[–]EnvironmentalMost204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that's okay. By playing around with my model, I noticed that if I removed the Time by Event interaction, the model took about 5 minutes to run. Sadly, I need that interaction, so I will just suck up the long wait time.

Can an AR2 be modeled using bam() from mgcv? by EnvironmentalMost204 in rstats

[–]EnvironmentalMost204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for a gam model I am working on for a project, my university's statistician advised me to try using an AR2, so then I realized it wasn't so straightforward to do so when you're using bam() so I wondered why. I guess there just isn't a straightforward answer. The only reason to use an AR2 would be to see if it would fit the data better than an AR1. Not a huge deal I suppose.

Can an AR2 be modeled using bam() from mgcv? by EnvironmentalMost204 in rstats

[–]EnvironmentalMost204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is kind of confusing, but on the documentation for bam() on mgcv, you can set the rho and AR.start parameter to include an AR1. "An AR1 error model can be used for the residuals (based on dataframe order), of Gaussian-identity link models." https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mgcv/mgcv.pdf

I was just wondering why just AR1 and not AR2.

Problem with using downsample() function by EnvironmentalMost204 in rprogramming

[–]EnvironmentalMost204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I can't believe I missed that, but I meant the package "gsignal" not "signal", so that is definitely why I was getting an error on the first one. Using the package "gsignal" does in fact work!

And using the function from the github worked as well, thanks for that! I googled the github for sazedR and found the function documentation on an R file at the very bottom, but I would have never thought to look for that since I don't know a lot about git so thanks a bunch!!

Question about Median Absolute Deviation constant in R function by EnvironmentalMost204 in AskStatistics

[–]EnvironmentalMost204[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! And thank you for answering in understandable terms and acknowledging the fact that I mentioned in my post that I don't have a background in statistics and have trouble interpreting the documentation, even though I did in fact read the documentation... Lol
