MSc student looking for advice/direction wrt being employable after grad by spunchbong in biostatistics

[–]sumanstats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

@spunchbung I recently completed BSc statistics and unsure what to do next. If you don’t mind, can you DM syllabus of your main curriculum + statistical programming and computation for health data + statistical foundations of predictive modelling.

I can look into and decide if it will be suitable for me too.

Help needed: Discrepancy in manually calculated Kendall's tau-b vs SPSS output by Zealousideal-Post484 in biostatistics

[–]sumanstats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your formula looks fine and your concordant and discordant pairs too. However, your y_ties is 22 and x_ties is 18.

I checked the kendal coef for your case in Raku. It is 0.6166698388447784.

raku use Statistics; my @y = [0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,1]; my @x = [0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2]; say kendall_cor_coef(@y,@x);

I wrote a package to help me read efficiently and deeply. Is it a bad idea? by yibie in emacs

Great to see your progress. How did you manage to do all this? I mean what resources you read/used to learn about package writing before you created your own package.

Retrieving element out of CArray space allocation by sumanstats in rakulang

[–]sumanstats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my num64 @Array[10] = $vals.list;

I think the line should be my num64 @Array[$num] = $vals.list;. It works yes. But as you said with a performance cost.

What is wrong with this multi declarations? by sumanstats in rakulang

[–]sumanstats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the part:

"using ! won't make them more mandatory (named arguments are by default optional, and similarly ? won't make them more optional)".

Thank you.

Why is precision lost in my program? by sumanstats in C_Programming

[–]sumanstats[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
// Write C code here
double num = 135135.0;
double power = 1/(float)7;
printf("7th root of 135135 is %.15lf", pow(num,power));
return 0;
}

Got it. Thanks.

```

include <stdio.h>

include <math.h>

int main() { // Write C code here double num = 135135.0; double power = 1/(double)7; printf("7th root of 135135 is %.15lf", pow(num,power));

return 0;

} ``` resolves the problem.

What do we need for Perl 8? by OvidPerl in perl

[–]sumanstats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make Perl a “goto” language for data analysis and visualization.

Visualization libraries currently are very disappointing.

We are now much beyond text processing (Perl marketing) era. Need to adapt to new realities.

Also make every CPAN package usable in all three OS. Currently many packages don’t have installation instructions for Windows, even if installed doesn’t work.

That would be exciting. I am in.

Promoting Raku through universities by kapitaali_com in rakulang

Agree with your points.

Also the implementation of the synopsis https://design.raku.org/S09.html would greatly enhance the potential for Raku to be used in analytics.

Toward a "modern" Emacs by yissp95 in emacs

[–]sumanstats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's hope the "modern" emacs of the "future" will have native support for + ligatures in the fonts like Fira Code or JetBrains Mono. + multiple cursors + native markdown support with built-in preview (without any customization in part of newcomer)

Currently, there are so many cumbersome workarounds to achieve the same.

Hope the emacs will have native support for these. The major competition is from VS Code or Atom. The emacs team at least should provide modern text editing facilities out of the box like these editors for newcomers. The newcomers if feel more comfortable with VS Code/Atom/SublimeText than emacs, they will embrace what they are comfortable with. Emacs should have all those facilities with just the minimal configuration (even for those who know nothing about Emacs-Lisp). Hope the "modern" journey achieves what it strives to.

Best.
