I'm slightly tempted to add "my hypothesis test is too sensitive!" but it's not really an immediate-closure issue.

@Glen_b AH, you know, I should have known that

my apologies

@GeneralAbrial No need to apologize; you won't necessarily see the full cross-section of questions through the edit process (I know I don't).

It also shows all-time figures; amoeba and Scortchi may well lead recent retags.

@whuber: Specifying deadlines ("I need this by tomorrow night!") is pretty off putting for me but this probably relates closely to #8. For number #4: Big chunks of code (that I am expected to read) are pretty standard for a close. If it asks for debugging their code I usually contemplate down-voting too.

I've found a statistically significant relationship between my age and the calendar year (p < 0.05). The relationship is robust to the choice of calendar.

Hi Everyoe

Everyone

i have question related to statistics..

@Silverfish So... was this an assignment you gave your students?

@leo11 is that an entry for the list, or did you mean to ask something? Note that if it's a question that's suitable for the main site you are probably going to do better if you post it.

If it's a question that's not quite suitable as a question for the main site don't wait on someone being here when you are, just say what you want to say.

@gung I noticed that you have been using "GLiM" to refer to generalized linear models in some of your answers. I have never seen this abbreviation and am used only to GLM (without "i"). Is your abbreviation standard? I got confused by it and spent some trying to understand what's the difference between GLM and GLiM but it seems there is none (?)

@amoeba I've seen it quite a number of times ("It's an older code but it checks out"). I tend to avoid it because of the package GLIM (which was used to fit generalized linear models way back in the day) -- even though it was called that because of ... well, GLiMs.

@amoeba, it isn't standard, AFAIK. The problem is that "GLM" is used to stand for General Linear Model, and Generalized Linear Model. So I sometimes use "GLiM" to be more distinct. Not being perfectly consistent no doubt makes this even more confusing for you.

@gung are you sure you meant to close this as a duplicate? stats.stackexchange.com/q/221237/36229

@gung Wait, but how can GLiM help to disambiguate between general and generalized linear models? They both have the word "linear" in them.

@amoeba, because for general linear model, I only ever use GLM.

@ssdecontrol, yes.

@gung Hmm, okay, so it does helps to disambiguate if one knows what stands for what, but the abbreviations themselves do not contain any disambiguative information.

@amoeba, that sounds about right ;-).

@gung the question you closed seems to be asking about standardizing the response, not the predictors

I generally abbreviate "general linear model" as "general linear model" (or sometimes just as "linear model")

economics.stackexchange.com/questions/12560/… Strange that this question ended up on the Econ.SE

@GeneralAbrial Heh, I'm sure it would have fit in a lot of different SEs! It doesn't surprise me it's on Economics tho. Economics degrees often spend quite a lot of time on Kuhn Tucker.

(There's a lot of space devoted to it in e.g. Dixit's Optimization in Economic Theory and in Sydsaeter, Hammond, Seierstad and Strom Further Mathematics for Economic Analysis)

In quite a few of the other books on my shelf too, come to think of it
