Petra @petra@scholar.social

Hello all!

I'm Petra, a psuedoanonymous (not really, I just don't like to post my last name everywhere) masters student at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, in Applied #Statistics.

I'm interested in R coding, biostats, and transgender healtcare and statistics. I've also been learning #Esperanto in my spare time.

I already have a mastodon account at @Petra but that's not really for serious stuff.

This is all it has to be, but the function isn't just... built in???

I have now had the installation of two packages with such functions have "non-zero exit status", because one of their 20 different dependencies wont install

You would think it would be an option in chisq.test, but no

Why is it so hard to find a G-test function in R? It's honestly easier to calculate manually at this point

I am unable to type 1.96 without first typing 19.6

Oh *that's* why no R packages seem to be installed on this computer - new R version

These notes use attach()!?

It's always amusing to see that, for all the popularity of the phrase "curse of dimensionality," nobody seems to be using it the same way...

I have access to the blackboard site of an undergraduate course I'm marking for this trimester, so I keep getting notifications for new content in "Statistics in Practice" and it takes me a while to realise I don't actually need to care about that right now

lecture seriously derailed by lecturer trying to remember proof that maxima/minima lie at derivative=0
