The confusion over topology is because the math-work starts with a donut and a hole instead if a mountain and a tunnel and if you replace hole with tunnel, all of the harder parts make sense except nobody in their right mind would accept a donut tunnel. So here we are differentiating types of holes. Pants are two

Sagebrush posted:what in hell is this? some kind of "alphabetize everything, even individual digits" programming fuckup? If I had to guess, it's datatype issues. Probably originally they just sorted by number and it worked, but then they tried to add commas and didn't notice it stop working. Or in testing they used nice clean data, like all numbers and blanks which whatever database software easily interpret as numbers, but when then ran it later with real data some block said "no data" or had a typo which lead to the interpreter pulling in the data as strings instead of as numbers. When coding stuff, that's why it's important to control the types of fields, but doing so risks cutting out interesting entries from view, so it's not always an easy answer.

Platystemon posted:I’m frankly shocked that the Australian railway folks didn’t plan to kill the camels from the start. Camels were brought to Austrailia 110 years before anybody coined the word "ecosystem," so nobody thought about the potential feral camel problem. I imagine if you didn't have a lot of mouths to feed you probably ate one and set the rest loose or traded them to the locals in exchange for perpetual mineral rights.

Nenonen posted:It has nothing to do with how many people are white, or how many people are assholes. It only tells you how well you can predict from one aspect that a person is [something]. There's probably some sort of foundational error this touches, but this is how statistics is used to describe reality. Because of the influence of mathematics on statistics, statisticians pursue the precision of mathematical definitions, but because statistics deals specifically with inference from incomplete data, predictability is a precise way to describe vague concepts. What is an apple? Is it the round edible fruit of the tree Malus domestica, often coming in some combination of red, yellow or green? Hard to say. I'd recognize a blue apple as an apple, I'd recognize an inedible apple as an apple, I would recognize something that is absolutely an apple that somehow magically grew from a lemon tree as definitely an apple, and if someone grew an apple into a cube I would recognize it as an apple. A precise statistician may rather do a survey and determine that an object that matched all the characteristics of "being round", "edible", "fruit of the Malus domestica", "red, yellow and/or green", would be "highly predictive" of being an apple, as a way to tell us more about the intrinsic qualities of being an apple.

Agnostalgia posted:Based on the highest numbers being clustered around the rate of white people in the U.S., I don't think this chart is listing anything like "predictive capability" whatever that means. I think it is just listing the percentage of each ownership group that are white i.e. If someone owns a pet in the US in 2016 there is a 63.4% chance they are white. Predictive capability is relevant twice. First in the measure. There's no need for prediction if you have a true census on a matter. By census, I mean you measure the item of interest on every target of the survey. Example, how many people at a hypothetical high school are taller than 5 ft by measuring the height of each person. Checking the washing machine status of every white American is a labor intensive task probably not worth the immense cost and probably isn't feasible. Hiring enough people to check every squarefoot of America for both white people and washing machines would be costly, and there are plenty of places where you may not have permission to check. So you take a survey by selecting what is hopefully a random representative sample and then using that to predict the value for everyone. So if I somehow achieve a true random and unbiased sample of people, the "expected value" of that sample is equal to the total proportion of people. But it's only a prediction. To demonstrate, imagine if you only asked one white person whether they have a cat. Now imagine the answer is yes. If we extrapolate that data to a ratio of all people, then we can conclude that 100% of white people have cats. Probably not true though, so you need to achieve a sufficient sample. This is where the weird stats backwards speak. What's a sufficient sample? Well you want to show that a null hypotheses is extremely unlikely. This is calculated by determining how many samples you need for the probability that 'this is just a fluke' falls beneath your acceptable significance level (α). But at the end this is just a prediction about the true proportion. So in statistics it's decided how many white people own a cat by determining how likely that some measure of white people with cats was an exceptional circumstance, then drilling the exceptionality of that circumstance to the extreme. Interpreting data then is also making predictions. How does knowing that 40% of white people own cats help me solve a problem? If I want to know how many cat owners are in a room of 100 white people, I can use that statistic to make a prediction. If I actually know about those specific white people, then why do I care about the stat? The value of the stat is to use prediction so I don't have to measure or for when I can't measure. There may be some unusual edge cases where this isn't the case, but the vast majority of interpretations are just complicated and obfuscated* versions of this. *much like my posting.

Wouldn't people who didn't get the baseline described just below the heading just be scratching their head because of 0% pure cocaine? Either way, while baselines at 100% helps show the growth trend, anything is going to look kind of fucky when described as the ratio of the difference since graphs are already designed to do that. The graph is already (probably) describing a listed percent (percent cocaine hydrochloride) so it would be better to list just that on the left column instead of the extra layer of obfuscation. Now, we're looking at a the ratio of a ratio which isn't strictly wrong but may be misleading? Im not really sure. efb piL has a new favorite as of 16:59 on Apr 27, 2024 |

I wonder if it was intended to be viewed that way and then was either presented as a transparency or full page where the presenter/reader might rotate or was "corrected" by an editor or publisher.
