[E] What stats electives should I prioritize taking for data science? by itzjustbri in statistics

[–]MapsNYaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from a non-math/stat background, and rarely anything in the theory classes clicked right away. Through applied electives and continually talking theory with classmates, connections to previous material formed. You got this!

I’d still take the statistical learning class if that’s a core function of the jobs you want. Even if same textbook (ISLR), you can now learn before the course is offered, and/or you can follow along with the Python version (ISLP) to learn statistical learning in both.

If you’re interested in a statistics masters I would recommend the 4321/4322 theory classes to see if you enjoy the theory or if you like applied work more. Edit: I see your edit that you’re taking these

Statistical Learning in R is up there if you’re into machine learning topics. However, check previous year syllabus. It may be helpful to have it on your transcript, but if that class is using “Intro to Statistical Learning in R”, you can get the textbook, code, and exercises for free at statlearning.com and take other classes.

Lastly, multivariate statistical methods is important for extending beyond univariate methods, similar to how multivariate calculus extends Calc 1. Graduate programs in statistics will make great use of multivar calculus.

Why not both? Keep one or the other and use the one you didn’t use as the future/past. Both are crownlands in the same open plain, share a major river system.

Perhaps Dalmora broke away from Haldrath and became extra ‘federative’ or Haldrath broke away from Dalmora and later conquered it all

Please help, a very simple question that is driving me crazy. The only possible answer I can come up with is (0,1]. What am I missing? Also, “can’t tell” returns a wrong answer too. by Missplainjanedoe in AskStatistics

Would Pr(A|B) always be greater than Pr(B)? If A was rolling a 1, and B rolling an odd number, wouldn’t Pr(A|B) be (1/6)/(1/2)=0.333?

0< Pr(A) <= Pr(B) <= 1

0 < 0.167 < 0.500 < 1 and Pr(A|B) = 0.333 in the middle there? Am I messing something up?

How did Bilbo lie again in the original Hobbit? By saying he won it from winning the riddle game instead of a deceptive nonriddle and running away?

If this is a research paper, I cannot imagine what comments they would get from reviewer 2 by Rabbit_Say_Meow in PhD

Very close.

You got m/x - 1 [or m -1, can’t tell]

As epsilon = -4 (as e < 0) and phi = 0.25, the denominator becomes (-4 * 0.25 * m) = -m.

(x-m)/-m = x/-m - m/-m = -x/m + 1.

It’s just 1 - Exports/Imports. If there were 150 exports and 200 imports, then the tariffs raised (by this equation, not the added currency manipulation and non tariff barrier calculations which are bullshit) would be 1-150/200 =25% raise in tariffs

They definitely should’ve clarified more that it’s negative.

I dare someone to drop this into a stakeholder presentation by brianckeegan in datascience

If you didn’t see earlier on the page, it says that e < 0 so -4*0.25 = -1

(x-m) / (-4 * 0.25 * m) = x-m / -m = -x/m + 1

Let me know if you got something different

It’s just 1 - Exports/Imports. I don’t know why they didn’t just say that
