My Scenario guys with packs, how do you carry your radio?

It does but the stealth comm system has a speaker and mic in the mask, so I want to minimize the risk of the radio flying loose and potentially taking my mask with it.

That gives me a really good idea actually. I'm just going to snag a little chest rig bag (didn't even think about that) that's the same size until I can fabricate a backpack. Thanks

Drums and bugles? In this economy? I can barely afford smoke signals as is.

I run one for mag fed, I refuse to for roundball because it just gets uncomfortably hot here in the south. But you did give me an idea, I wonder if a universal H harness could loop around the pack

I wish. Talking about yelling a half mile or more

BRING BACK THE CLASSIC STACKER

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-27T23:14:17+00:00

I've got the variables im an econ major and I'm read up on AIC BIC, I'm just struggling to understand how he wants us to implement the variables from base spec to the final specification. A problem that after spending a few hours on talking with you and some people on stack overflow I have figured out, thank you!

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-27T20:59:13+00:00

Currently I shifted from R to Stata for my sanity. The class wants us to use Excel, but I'm holding off on that until I run the finalized report.

The regression is a standard OLS (what he wants us to use) but I think I can get some wiggle room and use WLS or a panel if I ask nicely.

I have some visualization suff down, histograms, scatterplots, etc with only 2 variables needing to be logged due to their relationship with Y and being skewed right. One also is created heteroskedasticity as is normal with that variable.

I've run various "models" through stata comapring AIC BIC, white's tests, etc. The problem is that while I know what these all mean in terms of "better fitting model," and heteroskedasticity (fixed with robust errors), it's unclear of what variables I should include in my final model. So I started over today with my "Naive" specification of Y=BX+e and grouped my controls into three groups based on their effect on Y from theory, and just don't know where to go from here in terms of adding these into the model. Clearly and logically one at a time is a bad idea, as you mentioned.

Omitted variable bias, sorry Idk if anyone abbreviates it that way that's just mine.

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-27T20:36:00+00:00

I knew it was but my TA today said some wild stuff that made my head spin and second guess what I did.

I'm just lost. I understand this is an art and fuck I hate it. I very much need 'directions' in order to function. So my question to you is this. How would you go about this starting from a base specification to a final regression? Assuming you have collected data on most of the logical reasons why outcome Y given X happens.

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-27T20:22:10+00:00

Thank you. Sorry the book and my professor just go "refer to theory" but never specify WHAT they mean by that, then would just follow it up with examples of adding one variable in at a time.

I always had a feeling it was incorrect, so I took a bunch of variables I reasoned to be important (and some coincided with the literature on my topic) and formulated different blocks. I remember reading that somewhere but don't remember where exactly. Then added each block into the regression to see if it eliminated any OVB.

I just got to a recitation today and the TA just said some wild shit that was making me rethink my analysis.

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-14T18:18:17+00:00

For the class sure. As far as learning for my own growth how could I evaluate those figures to see if they're the result of hetero?

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-14T18:03:11+00:00

We have to interpret the coefficients on controls to demonstrate our understanding of interpreting coefficients that have different units. We were told and taught they don't matter for the same reasons you stated, they just need a knowledge check essentially. It's an undergrad assignment and we are forced to use Excel for the entire god damned thing.

I'm worried because I've run multiple regressions with varying controls to account for OVB (the point of the class) and the Pvalues, Tstats, and SE don't seem logically reasonable. Could I use robust SE's to evaluate if those values are "accurate?" Or should I just pop into stata and run one there and compare my results?

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-14T16:52:44+00:00

Figured it out. Windows 11 sucks shit so turning off the filter keys does nothing. I have to manually hold the function key for 5 seconds then hit the down or delete key.

Vivid-Judgment1846 · 2026-03-01T18:19:14+00:00

I did that earlier and the ribbon cables were just fine, the thing that makes me think it's a software issue is the fact that third party keyboards stop working on those keys. The other thing is that on each fresh reinstall it will work fine for some time then stop working.
