But Toys R Us still exists. They're in every Macy's and still have a few brick and mortar stores as well.

[-] JstAnthrUsr@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

At least in Germany I have not Seen one in a while.

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Damn really? I was just thinking about it the other day and thought they were all gone. By Macy's, do you mean a standalone store? Or do they have a small section in a mall store?

[-] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah I can walk into the Macy's next door essentially and they have a Toys R Us section with a Geoffrey statue and everything. Meanwhile there's another mall not too far away that still has an open Sears and the Macy's in that mall also has a Toys R Us section. They also had a brick and mortar store in my area during the holidays last year that will presumably reopen during the next holiday season as well.

Lesson 1 - Plot every pair of variables in this file as a scatter plot using Excel. Calculate every pair of correlations possible from the same file in Excel.

Lesson 2 - ggpairs and why R is amazing

I thought this was science memes! What's statistics doing here?

I am sorry you have to use R, you can perhaps enroll in a support group

[-] JstAnthrUsr@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

I did but that turned out to be yet another stats course in R.

At least the first item in your list is called number 1 like a real human.

[-] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

As a programmer I now feel compelled to troll everyone by convincing the project to change the indexing to 0

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

Haha, wait 'til you find out about how statisticians name and label competing hypotheses; good luck sorting that out!

Null hypothesis, as in the data shows no evidence to suggest that there is any statistical difference between the 2 outcomes. At least, thats how I understand it.

Null Hypothesis (H0) – This can be thought of as the implied hypothesis. “Null” meaning “nothing.” This hypothesis states that there is no difference between groups or no relationship between variables. The null hypothesis is a presumption of status quo or no change.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) – This is also known as the claim. This hypothesis should state what you expect the data to show, based on your research on the topic. This is your answer to your research question.

I stand by my derogative statements

[-] d00ery@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

😂 ok only just got the pun..

Null hypothesis always bugged me coming from a software background. Why the double negative! Just confuses me!

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 2 points 11 hours ago

Ho with a significant p-ness is everyone's favourite.

[-] ftbd@feddit.org 10 points 23 hours ago

If you dislike R, give Julia a try!

[-] JstAnthrUsr@feddit.org 2 points 14 hours ago

Actually I like it Its fun if it works ;P

I have a good friend like you. Smart guy, talks about R but mostly about Julia.

Decided to write his own transpiler. Dropped off the face of the earth. I wish I had more friends like that

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Are the two events related?

[-] marius@feddit.org 1 points 13 hours ago

What's the advantage of either of them compared to a jupyter notebook?

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Jupyter notebook isn't a language, it's a tool for running interactive sessions, typically with Python, but in principle with any language. I'm fairly certain people run Julia in Jupyter Notebooks.

As for the advantages of Julia versus Python, arrays are native types, so they interface better across the entire language. It's also shockingly fast in comparison, it compiles the code at runtime, so the longer the program runs, the faster it is.

If there is a use-case for R that Julia or Python can't do, I haven't seen it. I personally don't see the point of writing code in R when the Python and Julia are more broadly useful to learn.

[-] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 20 hours ago

unfortunately, julia has been adding "agentic code" to their codebase for a while now.

[-] lonesomeCat@lemmy.ml 7 points 18 hours ago

Developer here, I seriously don't know what to think of the modern tech in general. I reject LLMs because they're not trustworthy so all of my searches are your typical search engine, stackoverflow, etc. The internet feels so empty, you'd rarely find anything from the last couple of years that's not AI-gen.

This is making believe that we will reach a point when our tech stack docs are only cooked into LLMs and I fucking hate that. I would rather go back to the 1990s over this.

It's the R programming language, typically used in statistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

I have "Я" in my language. So it is relevant for me. I just see nothing good in that.
