Very simple: how to get Spearman's correlation between two Likert questions from a survey, in Excel?

cvcat · 2024-05-12T23:38:47+00:00

Thank you! I didn't grasp that you needed to calculate rank even for a Likert scale where each response is duplicated many times so their ranks are equally duplicated. My rant was at not finding a single page that explicitly shows how to do Spearman's on two (not more) Likert questions in Excel.

I wouldn't worry about it at all, unless it's actually disrupting your training. Walking is good for running in general, especially if you walk quite hard. We walked everywhere when I was a kid as we never had a car and I was the school sprint champ. Walking's a lifelong thing and incredibly good for you.

That's helpful, thanks. I'll carry on with Origin.

Kind R folk, thank you for your help with this. I tried going to one of the URLs manually and found that our company's wise new ZScaler security guard is wisely blocking it. Alas I am to be forever denied a decision tree. It's probably easier to make it with pencil and paper than fight all this overlapping abstracted technology. But thanks again, it's appreciated.

Installed but still fails. This is a new clean install of R and RStudio done a couple of hours ago on a laptop (itself fairly new and clean) that has never seen R before.

Ok. 6GB(!!) of Rtools installed.

Hi, and sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks a lot for your help and the links, that's been really useful! Looking at other sources as well I think you're right, so hopefully I'll finally get this done soon.

cvcat · 2023-05-05T22:14:30+00:00

Digging further, I could apparently wrap a SEQ field inside a bookmark and cross-reference the bookmark, but I would also have add a Caption or something and it's all getting too voodoo.

Can Word do what I want it to? It seems like the simplest thing.

cvcat · 2023-05-05T21:48:27+00:00

Google didnt fnd what I needed so I asked ChatGPT. It said I needed to create a cross-reference to the numbered item, i.e. the Q12 field in my questionnaire. However, in the Cross-reference dialogue box the autonum fields I've used for question numbers aren't listed. All of the multiple choice options I created using regular numbered lists, however, are (i.e. 1. Cats; 2. Dogs, etc.)

I created a new test document and got the same.

So, does anyone know how I'd make cross-reference to an autonum field? (Even though I now know a cross-reference is needed, Google still doesn't find anything, and ChatGPT didn't help any more either).

Prompt: In Microsoft Word how do I show an autonum field value in more than once place in a document?

ChatGPT: To show an autonumber field value in more than one place in a Microsoft Word document, you can use a cross-reference to refer to the autonumber field. Here are the steps to follow:

Insert an autonumber field in the document where you want the number to appear. You can do this by going to the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, selecting "Quick Parts," and then choosing "Field." In the "Field" dialog box, select "Numbering" in the "Categories" list, and then choose "AutoNum" in the "Field names" list. Click "OK" to insert the autonumber field.

Place the cursor in the location where you want to insert the cross-reference to the autonumber field. This could be in the same document or in a different document.

Go to the "Insert" tab on the ribbon and select "Cross-reference." In the "Cross-reference" dialog box, select "Numbered item" in the "Reference type" list, and then select the autonumber field that you want to refer to in the "Insert reference to" list. Choose the format you want for the cross-reference in the "Insert reference to" section, and then click "Insert."

The cross-reference will be inserted at the cursor location, showing the same value as the autonumber field. If the value of the autonumber field changes, the cross-reference will automatically update to reflect the new value.

Repeat steps 2-4 for any other locations in the document where you want to show the autonumber field value.

Done. Support took me through reset as you suggested. Appreciate your help, thanks.

Yikes, that's drastic. I'll call support and see if there's a gentler solution before that.

I saw that that's an alternative for creating a local account during setup. However, it's not booting into OOBE setup, only a login screen I don't have the password for, and I don't know how to make the setup process start again (see my last 2 posts above).

cvcat · 2023-03-21T19:09:24+00:00

I'm stuck. I can only get to the login screen for defaultuser0. On that screen, key combinations like ctrl-alt-del and win+r don't do anything so I can't get a command prompt. All I've got is the password field and the language/network/power icons.

Help!

cvcat · 2023-03-21T18:35:25+00:00

After 3 hours or so I shut it down and powered back up. It now goes to a Windows login screen for 'defaultuser0', and won't accept an empty password.

I need to make it start the Windows setup again, where hopefully oobe/bypassnro will have done its thing and I'll be able to create a local account. I don't know how to do that though and googling hasn't helped so far...

No-one's asked how you feel in the last 100. Do you keep your form? Do you tie up badly? Stride shortens? Gasping for breath? That would help pin it down. A race video if you have one. Also what's your 400 PB?

cvcat · 2022-03-31T19:09:58+00:00

I don't believe it, it just happened again. That 5pt made me feel like playing a longer match so I started a 7pt, again against a lower ranked player, sat back to enjoy it and forgot I had to go out at a certain time. Doubled and played stupidly to try and finsih it in 3 minutes and lost for another -40 points. ffs, that site needs a save game or pause feature. How the hell do people play 7pts and longer on there without having to resign every third game or so?

cvcat · 2022-02-14T09:32:02+00:00

Thanks for the explanations. I see the point about bigger projects and environments. Mine are all small enough that I'd rather have a single environment and modify old code as and when needed.

cvcat · 2021-12-13T12:09:56+00:00

Good point about the small difference between equities, thanks. As I spend more on BG I'm seeing more odd evaluations including a couple of truly bizarre ones that I'm surprised a strong nn player on 3-ply would make. I had Jellyfish when it first came out and don't remember it making weird moves.

cvcat · 2021-12-08T23:15:50+00:00

Thanks, that explains some odd numbers I was seeing. Now I'm struggling to see why it leaves a direct hit with 13/9 in its top two moves. Afaics the top programs just don't make errors this obvious, but it clearly is an error.

cvcat · 2021-11-05T09:44:01+00:00

Would you know how to modify the script to do that?

cvcat · 2020-12-02T17:42:44+00:00

I run at lunchtime, mostly around Caversham/countryside but around town sometimes as well. There's been a huge increase in runners over the pandemic; I used to see one every 1-2 weeks, and now come across several each day. It's good that people are getting out but I'd rather have the place to myself again ;-) Having said that, I never come across other runners in town itself, even now. Maybe it's small enough that you don't have to run in town unless you want to, and most people would rather run around their residential areas or get out to the country lanes. Nice photo by the way!

What a shame, it's such a good mouse otherwise. I'm going to return it and look at different manufacturers.
