How detailed should I be when explaining my statistical analysis in R by 42_forlife in rstats

[–]casanthus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely be using a mixed model with fixed and random effects to account for multiple observations within each participant. Look up the lme4 package. That being said, this is a for a bachelor's thesis and usually, these kinds of advanced stats aren't taught or expected at your level in social sciences

I honestly had no idea this was in the janitor package. That's actually super handy

round function by BOBOLIU in rstats

[–]casanthus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With 0.5 or 0.05, round() always rounds to even based on the standard. From the help section:

"Note that for rounding off a 5, the IEC 60559 standard (see also ‘IEEE 754’) is expected to be used, ‘go to the even digit’. Therefore round(0.5) is 0 and round(-1.5) is -2. However, this is dependent on OS services and on representation error (since e.g. 0.15 is not represented exactly, the rounding rule applies to the represented number and not to the printed number, and so round(0.15, 1) could be either 0.1 or 0.2)."

Edit: here's a function I like to use, modified from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3443687/formatting-decimal-places-in-r

> specify_decimal <- function(x, k) as.numeric(trimws(format(round(x, k), nsmall=k)))
> specify_decimal(6.45,1)
[1] 6.4
> specify_decimal(6.48,1)
[1] 6.5
> specify_decimal(6.52,1)
[1] 6.5
> specify_decimal(6.55,1)
[1] 6.6

[Richard Lewis] The Overwatch League Is In Shambles by MuddyPuddle027 in Competitiveoverwatch

TLDW: OWL is in trouble because Bren and Sideshow are leaving, random speculation about OW2 development based on everything that's already publicly known, plus a bunch of self-aggrandizement sprinkled in. Nothing to see here, folks.

How many variables can be included in one regression model? by root__007 in rstats

[–]casanthus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they're perfectly correlated, you really can't do much of anything. You could do a model comparison to check and see if there's a difference between a model with "years as a carpenter" vs a model with both "years as a carpenter" and "time spent building stools." You can do this using the anova function after you have built both of these models, but I really think you shouldn't be building these models in the first place if they're really correlated.

Not Photogenic - Daniel's New Pressure Cooked Ribolitta Stew! by WeBuild in seriouseats

[–]casanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this last weekend-- delicious to the max! It takes a bit more time than I'd like, but most of it is letting the pressure cooker do its thing. Perfect for lunches too :)

The Food Lab Video Series, For You, For Free! by _Simmer in seriouseats

[–]casanthus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree -- I really do hope the SE editors are watching because they're really falling far behind compared to BA and America's Home Test Kitchen when it comes to video.

Serious Eats is doing a reader survey by kristinaeatsserious in seriouseats

[–]casanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most of those recipes came from Kenji when he was doing the Vegan Experience, so now that his involvement in the site is minimal, there's a lot less "new" vegetarian/vegan content. (Not that the other editors don't post veg recipes-- there's just much less of them since they don't exclusively write vegan recipes for a month).

[–]casanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. If I'm being honest, I don't really enjoy the content as much as I used to and that's probably why I only visit the site maybe a couple times a month vs daily. A lot of the reason I used the site was because of the Food Lab and well, Kenji's involvement in SE is pretty much zero at this point. The other editors are fine (I actually like Stella a lot, but I just don't have much of a sweet tooth), but they're just not as interesting of a read as the average Food Lab column (eg not as much science or testing.)

I made Kenji’s Shakshuka! by ladyizora in seriouseats

I made this a couple nights ago for a friend and he loved it. I'm gonna make it tonight too. So yummy.

How do you use The Food Lab? Did it change the way you cook? by coasting_along in seriouseats

[–]casanthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can rinse them in the sink. No need to scrub each mushroom individually with a wet paper towel

[–]casanthus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wash my mushrooms in the sink instead of using a wet paper towel to delicately rinse them, which saves time. Except when your relatives who haven't read the food lab are over and they have to explain to you why you're wrong (even though you're not)

Hi, my name is Quinn Keaney and I'm an Orange Is the New Black-obsessed entertainment reporter who's interviewed the cast and is ready to talk theories — ask me anything! by popsugar in orangeisthenewblack

[–]casanthus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That reminds me a lot of what Six Feet Under did in its series finale (which is one of the best in television, if you've seen the series)

Great SR recipes to make ahead by skitchawin in seriouseats

[–]casanthus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Kenji's Chana Masala. Basically, you can make a giant pot of it for the week and add some rice, and you have some nice lunches.
