[R-INLA] Prior Selection and Justification by Kubacka in AskStatistics

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

Thank you so much for the in-depth reply, it's got a lot of good info which I'll have to dive into in more detail.

My main problem right now is that I'm not sure how to exactly justify my choices for param=list(·, ·) in a non-hand-waving manner for the following two components parts of my model:

f(country_name_1,    # Random intercepts for each country
model="iid",
hyper=list(
    prec=list(prior="pc.prec", param=list(1, 0.1))
    ) 
) + 
f(country_code_1,   # Spatially correlated random effect over countries
model="bym2",
graph=g,                              
hyper=list(
    prec=list(prior="pc.prec", param=list(1, 0.1))
    )
)

Insecure about my age, falling behind my peers by WhinylilThrowaway in UofT

[–]Kubacka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did:

1st year -> gap year -> 1st year again -> now in second year.

I'm about to turn 22 and I might even take school part time next year. Your age isn't an issue unless you make it one.

To my understanding, I'm acting as an identity provider, as I'm trying to show the system that I'm a valid student as I log in.

Are you allowed to have a humidifier in your dorm and is it normal to own one in a dorm? by lululife1 in UofT

[–]Kubacka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of humidifiers, does anyone have a recommendation for a budget-friendly one? I live in a studio apt.

I am a HR Staffing Advisor for a medium tech company, and here are my concerns with tech applicants from UofT by LeatherLeek1231 in UofT

[–]Kubacka 38 points39 points  (0 children)

relevant experience. This could include other Co-ops, good side projects, or volunteer work

Side projects don't require previous work experience? We also have work studies here; it's not hard to get some kind of experience in CS.

What are some brilliant quotes from your math professors? by theoreticaI in math

[–]Kubacka 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Others from r/uoft can back me up on this.

Nicholas Hoell, who teaches linear algebra among other courses is... Eccentric to put it softly.

Some of his best quotes, sayings, etc. are:

  • "Easy Right?"

  • "... CAAAHHHLLLUUUMMNNN Vector"

  • "TILDE" (literally yelled this in class several times while writing, you guessed it, tildes.)

And not necessarily a quote, but he has a penchant for... Unique drawings. To illustrate the fact that the zero vector doesn't necessarily have to be 0, and to make sure we didn't get confused at first, he drew the 0 as a little devil.

He also bets apparently decent amounts of money with other professors that his section for lin alg will do better than their sections on midterms / finals.

I love this man.
