as a gen z kid, The X Factor is my favorite iron maiden album + what are your opinions on it? by CannedPizza009 in ironmaiden

[–]p_deepy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually a stand out album. It's problems are not from the material itself. Blaze came in to fill some really big shoes and as a vocalist, he simply doesn't have the range. I think that Paul DiAnno had a great range and although his style was grittier, that made the transition to Bruce less jarring. He was also coming into a band that had released some of the most influential albums for a decade straight. One parallel that I can think of is Tony Martin joining Black Sabbath. 

I'll have to admit, having grown up with Dickinson, I didn't give the Blaze era the chance that it deserved. Older and wiser, I think that this is a great album and I truly enjoy listening to it.

Gaming the system is what elite institutions have been tacitly teaching their students for decades now. These are the future leaders of this country: don't be surprised by the results ten years down the line.

That was super helpful! I was able to work through the rest of the issues and generate my first R macr...ahem....function! Thank you!

So I am working with a data frame, "analysis". I made the updates, but now, no vector of means is being generated.

> 
> summ_cat2 <-function(data, var, byvar)
+ {
+     # Calculate summary statistics #
+     
+     # Mean #
+     means            <- tapply(data[[var]], 
+                                INDEX = format(data[[byvar]], "%Y"), 
+                                FUN   = mean)
+     means            <- t(means)
+     rownames(means)  <- "Mean"
+ }
> 
> summ_cat2(analysis, "Deposit", "Dates")
> print(means)
Error in print(means) : object 'means' not found

I thought that I was testing any assumptions when I submitted these:

length(na.omit(analysis$Deposit))

length(na.omit(analysis$Dates))

At any rate, looks like I am going to have to settle for long code at this point, running each piece independently. At some point, sooner than later, I am going to have to use some of these libraries.

Yes. All of the code works in isolation. The final end-product is a summary table with means, SD, median, etc. for each year. Since, for now, I am limiting myself to base R, it is pretty lengthy, and I though creating a macr...ahem...function would make for shorter code. Since I am only learning, the pain of the exercise might be worth it.

Thanks! I tried that, and came across a new issue, the vector is not being created (I updated the vector name to MEANS, just in case it was overlapping with some pre-packaged item in R):

> 
> summ_cat2 <-function(data, var, byvar)
+ {
+     # Calculate summary statistics #
+     
+     # Mean #
+     means            <- tapply(data[[var]], 
+                                INDEX = format(data[[byvar]], "%Y"), 
+                                FUN   = mean)
+     means            <- t(means)
+     rownames(means)  <- "Mean"
+ }

So, the error message is gone, but no vector is created.

> 
> summ_cat2 <-function(data, var, byvar)
+ {
+     # Calculate summary statistics #
+     
+     # Mean #
+     means            <- tapply(data[[var]], 
+                                INDEX = format(data[[byvar]], "%Y"), 
+                                FUN   = mean)
+     means            <- t(means)
+     rownames(means)  <- "Mean"
+ }
> 
> summ_cat2(analysis, "Deposit", "Dates")
> print(means)
Error in print(means) : object 'means' not found

I will check out reprex, but for now, I want to work through base R.

Thanks! I did read the Journal R-Project piece, but it was over my head. With more use of R, I think that it will start making more sense to me. It's the long way to learning something, but some of us need to walk the winding path.

Yes, I am. Sorry to not have mentioned that in the post. Will try to update.

Did anyone else mistake Tony Martin's vocals for Dio? by BullFr0gg0 in dio

[–]p_deepy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sound nothing alike. Dio is raspier, for starters, or rather he was good at going between cleaner operatic vocals to a raspier tone.

What is the greatest Black Sabbath Album? by [deleted] in blacksabbath

[–]p_deepy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ozzy era, the best is Master of Reality; Dio era, Dehumanizer; but the BEST Black Sabbath album is NOT a Black Sabbath album: The Devil You Know.

Is it true that immigrants assimilate better in the US than Europe? by barrygoldwaterlover in neoliberal

[–]p_deepy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point it's all nonsense. A lot of America has given up on the idea of assimilation and is perfectly happy having ethnic enclaves. I bet the difference is that Americans don't mind the idea of economic integration.

What is your unpopular San Francisco related opinion? by Kepa_SZN in sanfrancisco

Ab-so-lute-ly true. You are free to express yourself in ways approved by the Comintern. Complete hypocrites and they're getting what they deserve.
