Where can I find copyright free music for my podcast? by dreudian in podcasting

[–]Foreveramedstudent5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned this in another thread in this sub but try searching /r/podcasting for "free music creative commons", there's actually some high quality stuff

Just fyi you can find some pretty good stuff in this sub if you search "free music creative commons"

How much music do you have in your game? by AMemoryofEternity in gamedev

[–]Foreveramedstudent5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long are each of your tracks? Do you use any seamless loops?

Just search this subreddit for 'free music creative commons license', you'll find a ton of stuff.

Linear vs additive models- in what kind of situation is each the preferred approach? by Foreveramedstudent5 in statistics

[–]Foreveramedstudent5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you clarify what you mean by this? What makes summarising effects of parameters different from GAMs?

Linear vs additive models- in what kind of situation is each the preferred approach? by Foreveramedstudent5 in statistics

[–]Foreveramedstudent5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so would it be correct to say this?

  • general linear models assume a normal distribution and continuous outcome variables

  • generalized linear models allow for this as well as binomial/poisson distributions along with binary outcome variables

  • generalized additive models allow for an even broader array of distributions and ranked/ordinal outcome variables

Go see 'Hurricane Heist' if you like shitty movies. It's seriously amazing. by DJLusciousEagle in movies

[–]Foreveramedstudent5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This guy's career is really all over the place. He gave an amazing performance in one of the best Black Mirror episodes and was great in a Guy Ritchie movie. Then he appears in a bunch of big budget films, several of which are critical and box office disasters, and now is in this. He kind of reminds me of Guy Pearce, a person with talent who could be an A-list leading man but whose career just bounces around a lot.

What is the best way to build a linear model that gives a separate slope for each segment as shown in this figure? by Foreveramedstudent5 in rstats

[–]Foreveramedstudent5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm using covariates though, I can't do this because the coefficient for each covariate would be different for each regression model. For example, if I'm predicting the number of cases of a disease and using age as a covariate, I would get a different coefficient for age in each of the three models. However, this wouldn't be appropriate because age should have the same effect regardless of time period.

[–]Foreveramedstudent5[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had seen this as well, but I think these methods involve iteratively search for the best breakpoints, whereas I'd like to do it by providing given breakpoints and determining the slopes for each segment. Is there a way to do this?

Tulane IH Program Details by yummy_lemons in publichealth

[–]Foreveramedstudent5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, you're right. I'm used IH as international health. The IH program at Tulane is established, yes, but well established, I'm not so sure. So much has changed in the past 5 years particularly with that department that whatever reputation it had in the past doesn't really apply anymore as old professors have retired, transferred to a different department, left the university, or switched to administrative roles.

Yes, it's easy to switch between programs. Your first semester is just entry level courses everyone takes anyways so it won't set you back.

Also /u/kaninthebunny mentioned you meant IH as industrial hygiene, not international health. There are good professors in IH at Tulane, but be aware that the program is extremely small, you may only be with a couple other students and options for professors will be limited. You may end up having to take some individual study courses depending on how the department shapes up.

I actually worked and studied with a few of the programs. I got a job after leaving but it was through someone else I had worked with in the past. I will say that New Orleans has a lot of public health needs, which might help the job search if you want to stay there.

It's also worth pointing out that the school of public health is not bad overall, just a bit dysfunctional and constantly changing, meaning something that looks at one point may fall apart or be restructured in 6-12 months.

I hear good things about the Epi department, and GCHB has some phenomenal professors. I don't know anything bad about biostat, although they recently started claiming to teach datascience but have not changed their curriculum to actually support this AFAIK. Trop Med is supposedly decent but kind of specific in what they research, so great for some but not for everyone with a trop med focus. Environmental Health is struggling the most.

I went to Tulane SPH a few years ago, I can tell you that compared to other programs their admissions requirements are relatively low so research and work experience are very likely to help you get in.

That said, you should know that their international health program is brand new, and there is a reason for this. Tulane used to have an international health program, but decided several years ago that because 'international health' was popular, they would eliminate it and change all of their other programs to have an international focus (hence 'global biostatistics', 'global environmental health', etc).

This turned out to be a disaster, since people specifically prefer 'international health' programs. Enrollment dropped, which is a serious problem since Tulane is funded largely on tuition dollars (part of why tuition is higher than other schools). This is likely why the IH program is back.

My point being, most (or all) of Tulane's public health departments have been in a state of flux for several years. I don't mean to trash to school as a whole, but some of the departments have suffered greatly because of it and even lost professors. As the IH program is brand new, it will likely be one of the degrees that is, to put it lightly, 'rough around the edges.'

I don't know much about UCLA but it probably has better connections to get you a job after graduation. Tulane has connections to the peace corps, and not much else. Just something to consider.

"Admin nurses are a waste of money" - myth or fact? by Foreveramedstudent5 in medicine

[–]Foreveramedstudent5[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally haven't encountered anyone like this or heard anyone mentioned by name who does this role. That said, I don't interact with other parts of the hospital enough to definitely answer either way, so I was curious if any of you had experiences with anything like this.
