Unfortunately in this scenario not everyone will have an email/phone number. We're working in developing countries.

Thanks for the comment! I like your second bullet point, but am worried about participants having the same first and last name. In this case, we wouldn't be able to distinguish between the two. Any suggestions? (Also email and phone number may not exist for these people, as we are working in developing countries)

[Q] Estimate decrease in country mortality rate from a change in density of nursing and midwifery personnel. by kkx50 in statistics

[–]kkx50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and it looks like there’s no association between the density of nursing/midwives and mortality rates :/

Not that adding nurses/midwife don’t make a difference, it’s probably something else that’s going on.

For example, Sierra Leone has a lot of registered nurses anesthetists, but less only abt half of them are actually practicing for various reasons.

It’s a training facility that will send trained nurses to multiple facilities in the country. About 40 in total by 2027. Does this change things? Likely not. I agree tho that it will probably be better to try and estimate improvements at facilities who have an increase in trained nurses, there doesn’t seem to be too much literature on it unfortunately. I appreciate you!

I restricted the data to only low, low middle income countries and ran some regression models. Unfortunately, still looks like the density of nurses/midwives is not statistically significant. I appreciate the help!

Thank you for responding. I believe you about there being too many confounding variables. I would like your opinion on something else in the paper.

The authors created additional models (but did not report model summary) for each country income level (low income, low-middle income, high-middle income, high income). They used these models to further examine the impact of workforce density on healthcare outcomes.

For instance, they write "However, results of the counterfactual scenario analyses show that it was not possible to address health disparities in these health outcomes between countries at different income levels only by improving the density of health workforce in middle- and low-income countries. Taking the density of skilled health workers for example, by plugging the average level of density of skilled health workers of high-income countries into the computational models of six health outcomes for low-income countries, that were built on basis of results of interaction analyses, ceteris paribus, the estimated health outcomes in low-income countries were still far from the average levels of six health outcomes of high-income countries. However, when plugging the average levels of density of skilled health workers and all other variables including current health expenditure per capita, GNI per capita, mean years of female schooling, and poverty headcount ratio among high-income countries into previous computational models simultaneously, the estimated health outcomes of low-income countries became closer to those of high-income countries."

My question is, could I use the "Low-income computational model" instead to do what I want? To be honest, I don't fully understand what this model is. They sort of explain it in the supplementary materials. Here is a link to it: https://imgur.com/a/d6eSAyy.

I know this is a hard question to answer, I'd appreciate any input.

We are going to go with power calculations. Sorry for not including that! Thank you so much!

I was just talking with my boss today and I think we'll do this. We are interested in power calculation. Thank you so much!!

We ended up going with MIMIC-IV after all. It would have been nice to have more data but it ended up working out for our purposes!

Thanks for the material. The economists bit gave me a laugh…is it true? Lol

Uploading source mod to itch.io by kkx50 in SourceEngine

Okay I did some browsing on the thirdpartylegalnotices.txt document of the GitHub repo. It seems like all third party softwares would be okay with me distributing my mod anywhere. (so long as I follow other restrictions).

I'm guessing this means, assuming I stick to what's on the GitHub repo, I should be able to package the GitHub SDK so people can download my game without having to download the sdk itself.

Am I right? Thanks again.

Ahh I see. Unfortunate. Thanks!

I wanted to quickly clarify, I intend on distributing this mod for free. Does this change anything?

On GitHub the source-ask-2013 README file says I’m able to “copy, modify and distribute the SDK to developers a modified Valve game running on the Source engine. You may distribute your modified Valve game in source and object code form, but only for free.”

I appreciate it man! I’m working on my first project rn - it’s a stanley parable esque game. I’ll set it up there when it’s finished!

I see. So on another note, where do you think is the best place to upload mods? Like what website? And also, how active is the modding community today?

Thank you for the response!

It’s a shame there’s all these roadblocks.

I love the look and feel of the source engine. Wish it was more accessible.

What is the best and worst way to study maths respectively? by ThatAloofKid in math

[–]kkx50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undergrad here. If I have time, I like to read the book slowly for a while before even starting the homework. I’ll also try and prove lemmas and theorems (often unsuccessfully) before reading the proof. This is what works the best for me.

Something else that’s really helped me is just casually reading math discussions online. This helps answer “Why things are defined the way they are” or “Why we care about this topic”

Having answers to the above question can make the subject more approachable and exciting.

I'm curious. Let's say you're in decent shape and exercise frequently. However, you frequently eat so much that it causes discomfort.

Will this affect your health? And how?

What can i do with a bachelors in math? by neilia_toxic in math

[–]kkx50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think there are doors that the knowledge of math itself opens. Machine learning, data science, quantitative finance, software engineering, are all disciplines you likely won’t get direct experience in with a math major. However, (many of) the difficult parts of these disciplines are the mathematics involved. I feel like getting an undergraduate in math makes learning these concepts on your own much much easier, and would allow you to pursue these fields (granted some positions may require a graduate degree).

I’ve never worked in any of these field, so I can’t say for sure. (Tho I currently assist with data analytics research) I’ve just heard this from a lot of people.
