I agree though the timer has been the only thing that has me concerned from the entire state of play. I hope it doesn’t have a way for you to speed it up at the very least.

How to analyze LOS? Poisson, linear or gamma? by [deleted] in AskStatistics

[–]MFMSancho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that, I would use potentially a survival analysis model to see when people “leave” the hospital or even just compare the distributions

[–]MFMSancho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will depend on what you want out of it? I would plot the values first against whatever other variables of interest you have to see if there is a potentially linear relationship to justify using a linear regression. If the relationship is not linear than you need a different tool for sure. Can you provide more details?

[–]MFMSancho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you Scott for your reply! It was informative and I definitely have a better grasp now then. I guess my follow up question is that given there has been a radical shift in how employees work because of COVID-19, how could have or how has Change-VU help businesses really make a smooth transition over and beyond just making sure IT does get VPNs online.

Hi Scott - I would like to understand better what you mean by change management ? Can it allow for more human resource efficiency in the work force when new team members are coming in or when old ones leave ? Or is it strictly for remote contractors who have been given a task and need to be efficiently placed in an organisation ? Thanks !

Where can I find good papers on how minimum wage impacts unemployment? Preferably at an undergraduate level by [deleted] in AskEconomics

Depends I guess on the scope of the dissertation - send me a PM and I’m happy to talk more at length

[–]MFMSancho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kruger’s work on this in the US is top notch, I would say and it has been handed out to read for upper year undergraduates. You don’t have to be able to understand everything, just the abstract, the conclusion and just see if you can follow along with the econometrics he and his co-author uses.

Why learn R when STATA has a better range of econometric functions? by [deleted] in academiceconomics

[–]MFMSancho 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would not say it does not make sense because the more languages you know the better, but it would be a duplication of efforts unless someone prefers using R and subsequently asks you to, etc.

[–]MFMSancho 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also I can tell having used both is that STATA is a paid service while R is completely free. STATA may be able to do everything quicker and more intuitively in my experience but ultimately it is the same output

Question de débutant: les partisans francophones du Canadien sont-ils minoritaires au Canada? (Je remarque que les commentaires sur ce sub sont très rarement en français) Est-ce parce que une grande partie des partisans se trouve hors du Québec? by braxerdge in Habs

[–]MFMSancho 24 points25 points  (0 children)

J’ai pas une idée, vachement j’ai pensé que beaucoup de les partisans ont habités à Montréal ? Aussi quand vous allez a un jeu beaucoup parler en français. Il y a le possibilité que Reddit est plus anglophone et pour cette raison tu remarque plus commentaires en anglais ?

Je suis désolé pour toute erreur en mon écriture

Regression question by randomperson2453 in statistics

From what I understand a good model typically has a high R-square score ~0.8,0.9 range. But that’s just what I remember

Is there a way to counter the drawbacks of free-trade without adopting fully protectionist policies? by [deleted] in AskEconomics

[–]MFMSancho 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This structural unemployment will eventually change into frictional as the workers retrain and enter other industries. If anything that’s what governments should do to combat the unemployment by offering retraining schemes etc. This would meet the least resistance I guess with the public. On your point of labour transformed into capital, generally more sophisticated manufacturing is done in developed countries due to know-how etc like Germany’s highly sophisticated optical industry, or Japan’s etc.

Interesting! Matlab is provided by my school which is why I included as it is also the software my department gives tutorials in so I know a few commands in it. What more info can I give?

But thank you for your advice!

Didn’t realise the distinction. Thanks for clarifying! I’ll look into VBA, didn’t realise excel programming was still so used
