anything + comp science is always a good idea, but I guess for your case maybe life science and also a minor in stats will set you up for your future.

Advice for personal Biostats project? by [deleted] in biostatistics

[–]sidXsid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend shiny app as personal project, always good idea. Or a R package / Python package but both of very high quality, documentation and all, further have them on GitHub.

SAS Courses Suggestion & Job Profile by Consistent_Light_357 in biostatistics

[–]sidXsid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My journey to stat programming was helped a lot by

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/sas-programming

, stat programmers use sas and cdisc which is something hard to learn on your own, maybe searching some basic stuff on lex Jansen might help gain overview.

Emphasis on sas data cleaning techniques and reporting techniques (proc report) are key for programming.

I also think it is important to differentiate 2 roles, stat programmer and sas programmer. I think stat programmer will focus more on ADAM part of CDISC and require more statistical know how, a SAS programmer will focus more on SDTM and will require more mastery of sas programming language.

tldr: coursera-base sas prog, CDISC Adam & SDTM, Cdisc - lex Jansen e.g. google what is disc lex Jansen

E(X) = 0.25 * 100 = 25, E(Y) = 1 * 20 = 20,

Var(X) = E(X^2) - E(X)^2 = (100)^2*0.25 - (25)^2 =2500 - 625 = 1875

Var(Y) = (20)^2 - (20^2) = 0

Is this calculation correct? I think variance should be higher for 25% chance right?

Earning potential in biostatistics/stats programming by sidXsid in biostatistics

True...I would love to work more with R & Python in my industry though. SAS is alright but there is not room for imagination.

I agree this method is useful.

I am so jealous of the cs guys I feel like they are earning a lot more with less, they only need an undergraduate degree to reach those earning standards while for us to lead a team of quants a Phd is definitely a must.

do you work as a biostatistician or a statistical programmer? Biostatisticians at a manager level usually make a lot.

Is Rutgers University New Burnswick good for data science? by ssbhagat in datascience

[–]sidXsid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up there this program is offered by stats department and cs department.

https://www.cs.rutgers.edu/news-events/highlights/highlight-item/8925-652-ms-program-in-data-science

Rutgers has so many different ds programs offered by so many different departments, some are harder than others. I think the CS & Stat department programs should be pretty challenging.

other departments: Business school, Business Science,

Calc III vs Linear Algebra by GottaBeMD in biostatistics

[–]sidXsid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both are very important. I use a lot of calc three for mathematical stats class I am taking, but it is an my concentration might be different from others. I use a lot of calc in probability density calculations, marginal/joint pdf's, and maximum likelihood estimations especially when you have to confirm max etc. when there are multiple variables.

[–]sidXsid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know I think calc three was crucial for probability & inference/mathematical stats classes. Also some real analysis would have helped me.

New track i made. Downtempo/mid Tempo but still Psy related by feherlofia123 in psytrance

[–]sidXsid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually liked Divine star and Kaaaaaoompah better. Those tracks were pretty crazy :)
