I am required to build models for a series of datasets which are all having the same issue.
"Eyeballing" it leads me to believe that the data are best fitted by a linear regression. My data appear to pass the homogeneity assumption (leveneTest pval > 0.05) and the linearity assumption (more rese...
A former colleague once argued to me as follows:
We usually apply normality tests to the results of processes that,
under the null, generate random variables that are only
asymptotically or nearly normal (with the 'asymptotically' part dependent on some quantity which we cannot make larg...
Hi everyone. I am here looking for a CrossValidated moderator assitance. I did a question here with 4 upvotes that got deleted by a bot. First it got migrated from MathStackExchange to CrossValidated, then it looks it got migrated back and then deleted by a bot. I am still working on it and I would like to share it asking for some reviews but deleted as it is now almost no one can see it. I hope you could help me.
@Joako It was migrated back to MSE because it was closed here as too broad. The post itself is incredibly long, and I am uncertain what the actual question is. You write at the bottom that you're going to continue to write the question text in answers. This is not acceptable, and a giant clue that your question is unsuitablely long and unfocused.
@Joako ah! The historic lengthy post that never ended! Jokes apart, I agree with @Sycorax that it is unnecessarily long for a q&a format -- it needs a closure and couldn't sustain a blog based continuity.
I would suggest you to break it, if possible, into related posts. The problem is interesting and you should think about it. @Joako
@Sycorax the question is simple and focused, if you see the editions it grows given my efforts to answer it (which I finally did, with demonstrations done step by step, using code also as benchmark), based on the comments and answers I received (very good indeed), which it has a few... it has 4 upvotes and accepted answers, and I just review the site and extension is not a reason for deleting answers, even more, questions with accepted answers shouldn't be removed by bots
@Sycorax If the spirit of the website is having a library of good questions and answers, deleting just because math demonstrations are too long is kind a catch22 situation
Look, I'm not interested in getting into a debate about this. If you want a place to write long, rambling mathematical analysis, you can create a blog. The purpose of this site is to be a repository of high-quality Q&A. Excessive length cuts against quality in this case. There's a lot of wisdom in Mark Twain's remark "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." Expressing yourself clearly and concisely is a mark of quality; word count is not.
Anyone who disagreed with the closure could have voted to reopen. No such person came forward.
The post was deleted as part of an automated process by SO. We (users and volunteer mods) don't control that. I don't know the precise rules, but it's probably related to it being closed & migrated back to math.SE
Upvotes and closure votes are reflect different sentiments. If we accept your logic, than any unclear or off-topic post that gets 4 up votes becomes on-topic. Clearly, that is absurd.
If you wish to discuss further why your question was closed, the place to do it is in Meta.
