Hey #stats people, I'm trying to find the source of something that seems like bad advice, but my students seem to find online.
Cooks distance is a measure of influence for outliers. Some people out there recommend 4/N as the cutoff for an influential value.
Any idea where this cutoff comes from?
The big five is fine for what it is, a summary if similar adjectives.
It's more the behavioural genetics methodology I find middling Basically, recruit people of various genetic similarities (siblings, twins, parents, etc) then do some fractions of variance accounted for by genetics vs not genetics
You can also dip plain chips into ketchup for ketchup flavored chips, which is reasonably credible, fwiw
Bayesian SaaS companies and OnlyFans creators are very similar if you think about it🤔
Both make money by showing off their expertly crafted posteriors.
There is a lot of other personality vars that vary a more over time, like self-esteem, motivation and narrative identity that isn't in the big five.
The Big Five is sort of a "surface level" description of a person. Useful, but probably not the most important thing to know about someone
Sort of, yes insomuch as personality covers a whole lot of individual differences and traits are the subset that tend not to change much over time and contexts.
If the statement is about the Big Five and behavioural genetics results, then I'd agree. But those designs leave a lot to be desired.
Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.
Jesus, this quote made me teary-eyed "“If it goes off, it’s just going to be me and him, and I want to make sure it’s just me and him and not no one else.” 😭
What incredible heroism and kindness, honestly
Well, that has the advantage of being pretty easy to pronounce
I am now officially promoted to University Teaching Fellow (like full professor, but for teaching-stream faculty)! 🎉
The true reward is now never needing to collate a file for promotion ever again
