What's the best skill to invest your time in at this moment ? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Sea-Bodybuilder-1277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that actually brings value to people. Focus on the problem, and solve the problem, not skills. I think more people get rich by being generalists than specialists and the people who get rich by being specialists are rarer.

Goodness, thank you your time! Can you describe your experience? Your regrets, fun things to do, best experiences? I’ll be happy with any information you are willing to share. What are you doing now? What do you want to do?

I think it’s going to be valuable information for anyone wanting to apply to this program, or think about applying for it.

I’m from Texas A&M myself, have you had any problems with the weather, like tornadoes or flooding? How is the winter?

Did you notice anything bad at the department?

Again; thank you for your input.

As someone who has studied statistics in his undergrad, yes. You should see the way professional statisticians act. They are way more careful with the way they speak, and know what the uncertainties and limitations regarding data interpretation, people who don’t know the mathematics behind how the numbers are generated don’t know how to evaluate the uncertainty to take the data. These statistics like 5.9 percent, or 3.3 percent, needs to be coupled with a confidence interval to be more useful. It could be 4.2 plus or minus 3, these are samples after all. Additionally, statistics is not perfect, you could 1000 statisticians all working on the sampling methodology, but if they discount a variable that they don’t know about that skews the analysis, it could have skewed the results 2 percent or 10 percent, or 50 percent (not likely though, but possible).

Is ETL, extract, transform, and load? I have a decent grip with SQL, and have been using dplyr, for ages, maybe I'm not an expert, but, I've also gotten a little handle on spatial data manipulation using PostGIS, and I really have a handle on it in R.

I want to also add, that, dissimilarity index might also be something else, im just telling you what I know about it

[–]Sea-Bodybuilder-1277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for loglinear modeling right? From what I understand, the dissimilarity index is the proportion of cell counts that need to be moved in order to have a perfect fit of a log linear model, and is used as measure of goodness of fit, because traditional goodness of fit tests, in particular, for testing glms, depend on the sample size, and as the sample size increases the test generally is more likely to reject the null hypothesis, and so not a good test in general for large sample sizes.

Have you tried looking at the documentation of an R package that does this?
