I want to get stats chatz up and running again for Nov. I know we all
\nZoom too much, but I think stats chatz can be a helpful group as we
\nsquirrel away in isolation. We had these meetings at SFU and they were
\nextremely useful!<\/p>\n
I suggest we stick with our original time of Wednesday 10:30-11:30 over
\nzoom, every other week starting this coming Wednesday (Nov 4th).<\/p>\n
For those new to statz chatz:<\/p>\n
What is it? A meeting group where we can discuss our stats problem (no
\nmatter how big or small) and we can use the power of the crowd to
\ndiscuss, clarify, learn, and hopefully find a solution. Good questions
\ninclude statistical approaches, design, interpreting outputs, etc. R
\nquestions are harder to solve via Zoom so we recommended keeping
\nquestions related to stats.<\/p>\n
Who should attend? All skills levels are encouraged to regularly attend.
\nIt is a friendly collaborative environment and you should attend
\nregardless if you have a question or feel that you can contribute
\n(lurking and learning is welcome!).<\/p>\n
How does it work? If you have a stats questions, please bring it to the
\nmeeting. Give us a quick summary of your stats questions and some
\nbackground of your study system and design, you can provide a sketch to
\nhelp clarify your problem (prepare a quick figure beforehand and we can
\nshare screens or we can use the whiteboard). Try to keep your question
\nshort and please come back and give us an update on your
\nsolution\/output, etc. Remember – no question is too simple! This is a
\nfriendly atmosphere (this isn’t stack overflow!) and all questions are
\nwelcome.<\/p>\n
When? Every other week – Wednesday 10:30-11:15. First meeting Nov 4th!<\/p>\n
Please note, this is the last email I will send department wide. If you All communication will be through email, however, please feel free to Please let me know if you have any questions about the meeting.<\/p>\n Start thinking of stats questions and see you Wednesday!<\/p>\n
