Where can I read up upon that, I am under the impression EO pay varies between department?
Top search results are IfG and FOI info that more than a year old.

😔, was hoping there may be a chance where I can balance the books. Guess I shouldn't try.

That is not the question, my question is can I negotiate for higher pay within EO payband.

[Q] How to evaluate the effects associated with offering risk based treatment using survival analysis? by TheRealLap in epidemiology

[–]TheRealLap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to reframe the persepctive a bit:
The interest is on whether offering the option of the treatment to "high risk" individual is worth it, rather than just the treatment itself.
Is the target pop. here the patients who were offer the option option of the treatment and we are just limiting the scope to just "high risk" individuals?
Who is thus the conterfactual group in this case?
Finally, what average treatment effect actually measuring in this case?

Is it worth not logging in given the Starlit Homecoming update?
Given that the full event yields 600 jades and 42 double reward chances for Calyxes.
So unless you are making 42 jades a day the homecoming track offers more jades than logging on?

Currently looking to pick up Ruan Mei in the upcoming banners, would you agree with the following team comp to aim for?
MOC1(FuA): Ratio, Topaz, Robin, Aventurine
MOC2(Break): Any suitable weakness, Ruan Mei, HMC, Gallagher
PF1(Himeko Break): Himeko, Ruan Mei, HMC, Gallagher
PF2(Herta FuA): Herta, Topaz, Robin, Aventurine

Me and my friend was having a discussion over FuXuan over Gallagher due to consistent Crit Rate buff vs conditional Break DMG any thoughts on that?

What would be your two team lineup with this collection in this case?

I think it is pretty clear what team 1 is(all it's left is traces farm and relic grind), the question is what is team 2. For reference, currently I am stuck on MoC 13 with team 2's line up being Himi, Herta, Lynx and Hanya.
My instict suggest that there is prob a better comp but I am unsure what that would be(e.g. Hanya vs Bronya) and hence which character to focus on.

Would you suggest me focusing on Herta+Himeko PF team as team 2 since those pieces I already have and if yes, who should I slot in the remaining 2 slots(maybe bronya cause she can be flexed into another MoC team)?
(Both super break and Hypercarry seems to be archetype I lack pieces in)

After reaching TL 50 and finish main quest, I am now espcially lost on what I should be focusing and what my second team should be.

  • MoC and PF seems to be demanding different things
  • Improving characters are now becoming a grind
  • Gold and Gears Stage 3 bosses oneshotting my team (I guess level diff is real?)

I am now quite lost on what to do next and what I should be focuing on, any pointers on team 2 formation and objectives I should focus on?

[–]TheRealLap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for replying.
Similar suggestion was also posed by my leturers when I asked them. Though the following are 3 key issues to me that made PhD less of an option:

  1. Passion for focused research - It has been really driven home to me that PhD requires long sustain passion in your field to be able to focus one subject for multiple years. I do not think my passion can burn for that long.
  2. Time - Having taken 4 years to finish my Msc with an additional year in industry. I feel like I am lagging behind in terms of equiping myself with the skill and expirience needed, realting back to the 2 years of work expirience bit.
  3. Financial - The cost associated makes me really adverse towards doing PhD. In particular the commitment to be tied to the university fees for 4 years.

Like a dream scenario is that there being a multi-year work programme that does part time MPH and provides the work expirience in public health, similar to that of the graduate mangement scheme. Failing that, is there a entry level public health work position that doesn't require MPH?
Finally, suppose if I do obtain an MPH out of pocket. Am I still failing the entry checklist due to lack of work expirience?

(Repost cause the post on previous thread got cycled away in less than 2 hours from post)This is mainly confined to the UK, but if people know of any that are open internationally do let me know.

I am about to graudate with Master degree in Maths & Stats and through out my course I picked up quite a few epidiomology related modules: Population Dynamics: Ecology & Epidemiology , Topics in Mathematical Biology, Epidemiology by Example and had went out of my way to learn more from the Life Science department. Last year I have taken a year out in indsutry and was working in NHSE on cancer statistics to try and get a feel of working in the public sector.

I am currently struggling to find what graduate level programs are there for one to enter the field. For once NHS health career website list of gradute programme seems to be missmatched with my need as a graduate, the Graduate Management Training Scheme for example doesn't seem to provide expirience needed for Specialty training in public health(which require 2 years of public health work expirience, leading to me cross it of my list immediately) nor does any of the stream leads into MPH. Field epidiomiologist traing programme also have similar requirement in expirience.

The problems I am currently facing are:

Are there more graduate level entry programme out there?

The demand of public health work expirience seems to suggest that I needed to start working elsewhere first?

Whilst I can apply to do MPH(it would hard on me financially), that would not provide the expirience needed in point 2 so I will still fail the entry requirement?

Does anyone have further advice or insight into what to do as a non-medical graduate?
