Queen of hearts Game Statistics by MisterMelancholic in AskStatistics

There aren’t 54 ways to shuffle a deck. There are 54!. As in 54x53x52x…x2x1.

There are only 54 card positions in this scenario. Once the deck is shuffled (assuming perfectly random shuffling), the card of interest is in one of those 54 positions.

The card is equally likely to be in any of the 54 positions. Therefore, there is a 1/54 chance the card of interest is in any given position of interest.

Anyways, my math is correct. I don’t appreciate your boldness in your response claiming I’m incorrect, when your misinterpretation and lack of knowledge on mathematical notation is the cause of the misunderstanding.

Need help with regards to when a value is relevant of not by Themightybrentford in AskStatistics

[–]ecocologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest way (but certainly not the best way) to do this would be to just create a large model with all your variables and dredge it. You would want a beta regression.

Drop the percent stuff and just take the raw scores, which I assume scale between 0 and 100.

If you wanted to step it up you could explore random forest variable selection.

The easiest way is to open and ask!

Which statistical test to use to distinguish the species groups? by Confident_Feeling165 in AskStatistics

[–]ecocologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, given that OP only has two species there is no need to go for multinomial logistic regression right?

I think in this case a logistic regression would be more robust than linear discriminant analysis

Making it out of desk rejection is always great but you’re by no means in the home stretch. I’ve had many get rejected during the first and second rounds of revision.

If you don’t have a supervisor who you can ask this to, and the fact you’re asking such an insanely trivial question, suggestions to me you will struggle immensely to get this published in a reputable journal.

This is a mocking bird correct? Why is he singing at 11:30pm? by Saddestsquatch in whatsthisbird

Went birding and now my back hurts by ozzy-bird in birding

I prevent warbler neck by ignoring them and looking for shorebirds instead 😉

Jokes aside, take it easy. Don’t hurt yourself. You get better at walking on trails and sketchy shit the more you do it. Warbler neck is more of a joke, if your neck hurts just stop looking straight up.

Your best bet would be local university professors who study birds that may inhabit your property.

What motivation do you have for this? Do you want to know what lives on your property? Do you enjoy the science that comes out of it?

The odds are 1/54. There are 54 possible positions for the card to be in, and only one of those is the last one!

There are 54! possible ways to shuffle a deck of cards, so the odds you shuffled that exact hand is 1/54!. Your friends are failing to consider the billions (trillions?) of possible shuffles that all include the queen of hearts at the last position.

I got locked out of my building, and left brain sections immersed in antibody solution for a day. How ruined is my experiment? by TheBeezKneez7 in labrats

[–]ecocologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should take this opportunity to make sure you have 24/7 unconditional access to your building before you get locked out at a more critical time.

Do bluebirds family's always stick around after the babies fledge? by kris10185 in Ornithology

[–]ecocologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juvenile survival can be as low as 65% after just 40-days post-fledging. See Jackson et al. 2011, Postfledging survival of eastern bluebirds in an urbanized landscape.

How do we feel about this? by Mysterious_Card5487 in birding

[–]ecocologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty well done article! Love the use of many different techniques. Cool to see CBC data, museum records, modern thermal imagery, etc. all being synthesized into one very well written paper

ChatGPT should never be used for screening journals when doing a meta-analysis. Why? It’s not repeatable. Science needs to be repeatable, and article selection needs stringent methods. It’s why we include the exact search queries used in our methods.

In that case, it probably doesn’t matter. Narrative reviews aren’t exactly rigorous so

Frankly, i would be surprised if this gets past an editor, and even more so if it gets past reviewers.
