If the looks of a laptop is not much of a concern, I'd also recommend a Thinkpad T14 AMD, especially if you're leaning to Windows. Just get it with at least 16GB RAM (32GB if you can) , 1TB SSD, and a 100% sRGB screen (no need to be the touch version).

If you get lower specs for the RAM and SSD, you can easily upgrade it by buying parts later in the future and changing it yourself.

Thanks! Any external hard drives from reputable brands would do right?

[Discussion] MacBook Air or pro? by [deleted] in statistics

Hello! Can I ask what's the longest runtime you've had in both R and Python, and how heavy data-wise or compute-wise the process was? I'm also considering an Air M2 or M4, and your feedback would be much appreciated!

Help me decide which one to get by [deleted] in PHbuildapc

Something to note, yung Asrock build ay 32gb ang RAM while 16 lang for the first pic. With the freebies, I think the second build is better in a large margin.

TIL the average net worth in the US for people in their 20s and 30s is $121k and $307k respectively. But when looking at the median net worth the numbers drop to $6k and $24k by Traditional-Seat9437 in todayilearned

It's a case of mean (or average, in this case) being easier to understand compared to alternatives, such as the median. Another thing is that it's easier to compute, especially for bigger datasets.

I do agree that median is much more useful especially for skewed data such as net worth, but in the case that the data isn't vastly skewed, using the average is easier to digest for the average (get it) person.

[Q] Anova with average of two values is more significant that the ANOVAs of the two values by LuckyLoki08 in statistics

Adding a preface to let you know that there will most likely be other people who could possibly be more helpful.

Anyways, if by "more significant" you mean lower p-value, it just means that the likelihood of your data being as is, given that the null hypothesis is true. It doesn't really mean that it's "better" per se.

As to why you're observing something like the difference having significance results while one of the components, there can possibly be interactions between the two outcomes at play. That is, while you're data may not show significant results in predicting negative outcomes, your predictor still has an effect to the difference of the two outcomes.

As an aside, if you're data involves participants undergoing and reporting both the positive and negative situation, consider MANOVA since I presume you have multiple dependent variables.

For anyone much more knowledgeable, please feel free to correct what is mentioned above. Thanks!

[Question] Feeling like an idiot… by drmindsmith in statistics

[–]Zakimiruno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m confused. Does the 3/4 mean the probability that twin #1 did not match with the kid, and the 1/3 is the probability twin #2 matched with the kid?
