Anyway just going to send some people some questions about where I might go about inquiring a miniator.

Since this is the charts thread, I would have to guess that in a venn diagram the intersection of "people who can browse webcomics while working" and "people who are not working from home" is going to be tiny these days.

I'm not sure why difference of deaths per day is important enough to get it's own axis. Why not just show deaths vs time? You can visually see the change, that's the point of graphing it in the first place.

Edit: and does the line thickness mean anything? I think this type of graph has its uses but it's pretty rare that time isn't an independent variable.

Rate of change in a pandemic is often tied to number of cases, and the coordinate position on this graph effectively shows the R0.

More useful than change in cases/time at least.

When analyzing rate data it's often helpful to plot dx/dt vs x because it eliminates time. This way you can compare experiments done over disparate time scales and think about if they're caused by the same underlying mechanism.

Things get literally loopy though if you smooth and average too much.

"I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the colour of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think"

This reads like that old joke image that had you say the color of a given text out loud, but the text was a different colour name, like RED in big blue letters, BLUE in yellow, and so on.

That's actually a pretty important finding of cognitive psychology, called the Stroop Effect.

Weak slope thus mild effect. Come back when your slope is above 1 and maybe I can get you published in the econ journal.

To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of.

Every vaguely scientific post grad includes a statistical methods course. But you can get a C+ by copying and pasting the Mythical and Unknown SAS Glyphs found on Google into your command line and cramming with the photo copied notes of the one person who actually understood the course.

Uh, in my graduate biostatistics analysis class we had to do the tests manually to show us how they worked and to remove any "black box number comes out". Only after we did the tests by hand (by setting up the math ourselves) were we allowed to use the "highlight yer data n' head for the data analysis toolpak".

Luckily we didn't have to do CANOCO, cause that poo poo's just voodoo.

Sadly, I've seen way too many students come up with completely nonsensical answers and just go with them because "that's what I got from the calculator ". So, you're telling me you found the mean of these numbers that range from 1.2 to 2.3 and it's 258.412? "That's what I got ".:eng99:
