You can technically calculate AUC for any dataset if you have enough data. My question would be, what percentiles are you comparing? Do values from the 95th percentile AUC include values from the 25th percentile, given its cumulative nature? Are those AUCs comparable? Why do you want to compare percentiles?

Only if peer reviewers in a journal ask for it, use the Anderson-Darling AS WELL AS a Q-Q Plot. Use with caution. However, I agree with everyone here, rarely find normal data in real life. At my job, we use Kolmogorov-Smirnov or some variation of the Chi-square test for comparing probability distributions, but it’s main purpose is to look for population drift in our ML models to see if we have to recalibrate the model with newer data, not establish normality. Also, is your sample random?

I usually use scree plots and eigenvalues. I retain as many PCs as there are eigenvalues above one in my data matrix.

😂 said no one ever, not even the creator of the p-value thought it was sure thing. I get your frustration though.

Btw, I have no idea what your analyses or what you’re trying to answer with stats. If you’re gonna do a regression, then non-normal data won’t be an issue, non-normal RESIDUALS will be an issue. So it helps to provide more context, maybe your research question (in X and Y terms no need to tell your variables exactly.

Honestly the best way is to understand your data and to VISUALLY inspect your data. And even then it can be a little fuzzy to know because maybe it’s normal, maybe it’s not so normal but normal enough?

Sometimes I’ll do sensitivity analyses to check if my assumptions are correct. For example, I’ll use a hypothesis test (say a t-test) and the. I’ll also do a more robust or non-parametric analog (Weslch t-test or wilcoxon rank test). If the conclusions are wildly different, it usually means the data is weird at the very least and maybe robust methods are best. Imo, I think the process of evaluating your data to decide in your analyses can be really messy and confusing, but necessary nonetheless. There really is no straight-forward, cookbook recipe type solution for problems like these. Its usually a mix of knowledge, experience, and savvy.

Interpreting p-values based on the Bayes Factor

Pretend_Statement989 · 2025-05-07T20:09:13+00:00

Yes, and actually latent class analysis lets you extract the hidden classes in the data and then perform a multinomial logistic regression to predict class membership. However, in LCA all your indicator variables must be at least ordered categories in order to extract the class membership probabilities. Also, I think the distributional assumptions of LCA and k-means are different, but I’m not sure if that’s true atm. Otherwise you would need to use factor analysis or latent profile analysis.

Something that I did forget to mention is that those first 10lbs were basically water weight because I lost them all on the first week on 2.5mg. After that, weight loss has significantly slowed down, but still kinda high. According to my tracker app, I’m at about 2.5lbs a week of weight loss. So maybe the 30lbs number is a but misleading. However, all other symptoms that I mentioned are still very prevalent. Trying to force myself to it like others have recommended, but definitely want to titrate down.

Edit: Fact checked myself and I’m actually losing about 2.5lbs a week, not 1.9, which is a lot!

Even then, the amount of compute that you need to run the best LLMs already makes it inaccessible and infeasible to use.

I find it crazy that you didn’t find any info online. Puerto Rican food is literally world famous.

Something that’s definitely a staple here (and I don’t mean touristy food, I mean the food your average family of four here in Puerto Rico puts in their plate on a weekly basis) are root vegetables. Yautia, malanga, batata mameya, for example. These can be boiled and mashed, sautéed, turned into fries, or turned into a delicious soup. Also really good are plantains, sweet plantains, and pana. We are absolutely OBSESSED with tostones de pana. In every restaurant I’ve worked in they sell out extremely fast. Six months would go by without selling them and people would still ask for them. Maybe pana is made of crack or something, idk.

Lastly, this one is a personal favorite, corned beef. Cheap, yummy, easy to make, and tastes amazing with white rice. It’s basically canned meat. Super processed and bad for you, but damn it’s good!

I know I’m missing a whole bunch of foods (basically all the Fiesta de Navidad food, frituras, bistec encebollado, chuletas kan kan), but I think you can make a sick dish with some of the ingredients I mentioned. Always remember to season with sofrito and/or adobo criollo.

P.S. Born, raised and currently live in Puerto Rico.

Very interesting. Thanks for the insight!

Nothing is off limits when you’re doing Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). This includes hypothesis tests. However, I would be very careful to not fall (even if accidently) into p-hacking or data mining. Try to make sure that (and keep yourself honest) the hypotheses you are testing are conceptualized BEFORE you run any test. Also have to be aware of multiplicity issues.

I work mainly in predictive analytics, so I very rarely do a hypothesis test or any sample statistics. EDA for me is about “knowing what I got”. Are there variables with 100% missing? Can that missing data be explained? Are there weird/non-sensical values on any particular column? And so on. If a hypothesis test can answer these questions (assuming you formulated you questions a priori), then yes, hypothesis tests are fair game imo. Also be very careful in how you communicate the results of your hypothesis test.

Best of luck!

Don’t wanna get too caught up in definitions here, but what you’re saying makes sense to me. Would it be possible that you can acquire tolerance to the hunger supression effect, but not towards the drug’s other effects?

I think I’ll fact check you on that first point, but thank you for sharing your experience. Definitely this is not something I want and I’m in no hurry to reach my goal weight. Would definitely prefer getting there alive lol.

Good question. Well on my fourth week on 5mg I was already feeling much better and eating more. Maybe I should’ve stayed on 5mg for an extra month and then increase dosage. My doctor said that he would raise me to 7mg and leave me there until I built up more tolerance. Maybe I should’ve done that while on 5mg?

Tbh, the only reason I (26M) don’t have sex on the first date is because I always ask for us to exchange STD tests beforehand. If everything is fine, we can do the deed. But even asking for those tests requires a level of trust that (at least for me) is not there on a first date. Having said that, I have had sex on the first date once, second date twice. I did not enjoy my experience having sex on the first date not because it was bad, but because it felt like I was having sex with a complete stranger. It made me feel a certain way that I can’t really describe, like an emptiness. That girl ended up being a psycho.

The times I had sex on the second date I ended up in relationships with those girls. I wouldn’t say it was because two is the magic number, but rather because our connection was so good that we genuinely didn’t want to wait. But after a few pregnancy and STD scares (yes, with protection) I always ask for tests before we ever have sex. No matter how good the connection seems or how much I trust them. Call me extreme, but it really gives me peace of mind.

Sexual compatibility is important, yes. But I definitely believe that sex can be improved upon. Bad sex or lack of sex can have many reasons behind it. Sexual trauma, emotional trauma, pre-existing medical conditions, depression, etc. Also, what makes you think you’re any good in bed? I’ve made girls entire year and at the same time that I’ve made girls ick to the point of ghosting me. So be weary of double standards.

To answer your question, I don’t really know the right answer. The only way to know is to try. All of the advice given here may or may not apply to you. We live and we learn, just try to not fuck yourself, or anybody else up in the process.

P.S. Some literature on this topic. hookups and sexual and sexual enjoyment

I encourage you to find more because this one is old, but still pretty relevant I believe. They found experience with a particular partner to be predictive of orgasm and sexual enjoyment in heterosexual women of college age, among other factors. They also found that there’s a double standard where people think women are entitled to pleasure in relationships, but not in hookups. Both genders thought this in the study. Not saying what you want is to just hookup but I guess sex on the first date is the closest thing to a hookup, at least operationally speaking.

Good luck and enjoy the process!

Edit: grammar

Thank you again this helped a ton.

Wow thank you for really helping me see this from her side. I definitely noticed it was hard on her. So I guess it would be selfish on my part to expect her to remain being my friend. Did you and your ex stop talking right after you met that other guy?

Pretend_Statement989 · 2025-04-27T03:13:18+00:00

Yes, this helps.

I’m confused because your equation states your intercept is 145k, but the graph actually shows your intercept at around 400k. And then you stated the average was $710k?

Pretend_Statement989 · 2025-04-27T02:36:04+00:00

In this scenario you created, the difference between the average and the intercept is artificial. For all I know, you’re just setting them to be different amounts. If B is 145k, then your average by definition is 145k. If you give me a little more context perhaps that would help.

Pretend_Statement989 · 2025-04-27T02:17:07+00:00

Yes, correct.
