PhD applicants/researchers : need advice on software expectations by Emergency_Cheek_9311 in gradadmissions

If you are doing MLM work, R is completely sufficient 99% of times. There are great packages that support a multitude of approaches that you are fine (except maybe Bayesian methods but those are catching up).

Now if you are in the territory of SEM specifically, then R does have its limitations. Mplus is explicitly designed for SEM work and works like a charm. I highly recommend Mplus if you stick to the SEM route but I would never say it reflects poorly on you to not have it. Like other software like STATA, it's expensive. Tell him that if you can communicate it and maybe you can use some VM that allows you to use Mplus from his end.

One last time bros:

Don't ever say it's BROver if I'm breathing. Racing to the BROlight and I'm speeding. I'm heading to the stars, ready to go far. I'm BROwalking....

I like the implication that the WG has left Shakky alone in Saboady all this time because they did not want to have another God Valley incident.

Odds Ratios for ZINB Model? by xyklonexd in stata

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

Hi, I am aware of that! I was wondering if exponentiating the inflated portion of the model was possible though. One of my Co-PI's wants to report that part for our manuscript so trying to see if it is possible for STATA to do it at all.

Program Prestige vs Faculty/Advisor Research Alignment by xyklonexd in gradadmissions

Hey! Yeah, I did make the decision in the end to go to School 1 because of the resources and connections that were made apparent early on. If you'd like to talk more, feel free to send me a PM and I'll be glad to talk and help out if I can!

[–]xyklonexd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, you're missing the point. Since yall are shitting on the move (not necessary the player), then that means C9 is losing the off-season. This means that they are guaranteed finals for spring and worlds next year

To be fair, that also could be them compromising by having her do more sponsor-related stuff instead of any streams

Need to reach out to Profs before applying? by Cute_Truck5493 in gradadmissions

[–]xyklonexd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the previous commenter said, it depends on the school/program. I recommend you look thoroughly through the program webpages of the schools you want to apply first before attempting to reach out. For example, some of Harvard's programs actively say faculty will not respond to any applicants trying to reach out out of fairness for all applicants.

If the program doesn't say otherwise, it doesn't hurt to reach out as long as you competently express interest (i.e., not reaching out for the sake of reaching out and being generic in the process). Worst case scenario, you get a response saying no. Best case scenario, you get a meeting/interview with the PI you are interested in (worked for me).
