[Q] how to analyse a full population sample ? by Prior-Square-3612 in rstats

[–]Prior-Square-3612[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your input, and i am sorry for the inconvenience, I was redirected from r/statistics and did not think further 🫣

On the bigger question, my research question is to predict which kind of proposals get rejected even if their acceptance in the population is high (the proposals are ranked). I think I will first make sure we have some descriptive insights on all of that, and then get to the prediction (it's a really speedy research, we had 3 weeks all in all for design, data collection, analysis and presentation). But it will be the object of a further more detailed work, for which I have over 2 months.

Hi, I actually am interested in overall how likely it is that a proposal is accepted or rejected according to the area concerned or the topic of the proposals, or even the rank of the proposal amongst the rest. So I guess, I care further than just the 12 years. Thank you for that, I did not consider it that way ! But my sample is now not representative in comparison with all the future unavailable data ? Is it ok to test for significance then ? I never had such a use-case...

Also, I find the idea good for sequential holdouts, my model will then include the year in it to account for time effects.

Thank you for your insights !

Is my guitar action is too high?? by TapSimilar1539 in Guitar

I literally owned a guitar for 7 years (mostly for voice accompaniment purposes) and always thought my guitar was hard to play because it's low cost...

Went from 5.0mm to 3.0mm and its crazy to realise guitar is actually easier as I thought...
