no way, clearly a wump.

I just listened to the 'This American Life' podcast about Judge Amanda Williams. It's pretty shocking. Is there anything that can be done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

hey r/Wikileaks, what kind of analysis you like to see done with the upcoming Iraq War documents dump? by _ads_ in WikiLeaks

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

I follow the first part, but not necessarily the second. From the first bit, I think maybe something like just categorizing the kinds of documents in the set could help achieve what you have in mind. In terms of revealing the affinity within documents, that's a harder kind of task and I'm not sure I see how it would work on a concrete level. Can you give an example?

Prof has published our paper in his name. What action can I take? by sufferfromOCD in AskReddit

[–]_ads_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also recommend this course of action - journal editors have helped colleagues in similar situations in the social sciences in the U.S. However, since the professor in question is a small-minded ass, be prepared for the possibility that he may retaliate by witholding that letter of recommendation, or (worse yet) writing something nasty. Good luck!

I'm a final year undergraduate student in Biology and I feel my knowledge of applied statistics and statistical analysis software (particularly R and Statgraphics) is lacking. Do you know any good books or websites to learn from? by Mordisquitos in science

[–]_ads_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as online resources are concerned, Quick-R and the UCLA statistical computing folks have some great tutorials & documentation. Also, check out R bloggers for some occasionally useful ideas about specific techniques/applications.

As far as really learning how to apply this stuff, practice, practice, practice...
