I have a well-phenotyped survival dataset (i.e. it has a high number of relevant covariates for a study of mortality) for which I estimate how certain conditions influence life expectancy (LE). It would be much more informative to compute this in lost or gained years of life rather than stating a...

I have found two different definitions of the limit of a function f at a point a in very popular calculus/analysis texts. In one, the function f is asked to be defined on an open interval containing the point a, possibly excluding said point (Stewart, Wade). The other definition, more popular in ...

Recently, I was in a 4-player level 12 free-for-all, and one of the other characters transformed into an earth elemental and burrowed underground, meaning I couldn't see them. This is an afterthought, as I was playing a wizard rather than a cleric, but I was wondering if guiding bolt would work i...

Looking to build a terminal based game. I am assuming X-Term like terminal. This means: I can use the X-Term control codes to clear and move around the screen. I can use tcsetattr functions to make standard input none buffered (I think). I know this game loop runs as basically a busy wait. I wi...

The story had three schools of magic, fire, earth/healing and storm. Each was controlled by a god. Fire and storm were guys while the other was a girl. These gods could possess humans which would allow the human to wield great magic. If I recall correctly, the main character (MC) was a young male...

I wrote some (humorous) poetry that uses a known song as a pattern.

I see different answers everywhere. Intuitively, I would think if residuals are autocorrelated then there is some information that you are not incorporating into your model and is a sign of a biased fit. However, I see sources saying it is not biased, but not the "best" estimate. What is the answ...

Consider the polynomial $g(x)=x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1 \in \mathbb{F}_3[x]$. It's possible to show that $g$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{F}_3$. If we let $\alpha$ be a root of $g$, then $\alpha^4+\alpha^3+\alpha^2+\alpha+1=0$, and it can be shown from this that $\alpha^5=1$. There's an interesting result th...

It's probably straightforward, but I would like to see the proof of the identity: $g_{\mu\nu}g^{\nu\alpha}=\delta^\alpha_\mu$ In the book 'Spacetime and Geometry' by Caroll, this identity is the motivation for calling $g^{\mu\nu}$ the 'inverse' of the metric.
