error value question
S

hi sneaks!
ok but then how do we test the R-squared significance from one model to another?
say we want to know if the effect change from model 1 to model 2 to model 3 is significant or not.

like when we run the regression model, we run model 1 and then model 2...and model 3.

but how do I test the models between models :-)
thanks

Quote From sneaks:

do you mean the constant row in the coefficients table? (asusming you are using SPSS)


yes, that is the error, right?

error value question
S

hi everyone
I have four regression models, and values of the constant (error) is something like 4.55***, 1.40, 4.49**. Assuming the same number of IVs and DVs are entered in the model.

I know the 1.40 is not significant, but what does that say about the error constant?
Also, with 4.55*** and 4.40**, what does the bigger or smaller value mean then?

thanks satchi

MSc (econ) to Humanities PhD?
S

hi Libertaire
I can't say that it is all common for a switch from social science to Humanities PhD.

What I can say is that it is possible; I have also switched fields :-) .

Your social science background will help you to adapt quickly to your new "environment" (this is my experience because I did a minor in Sociology and it helped me a lot--especially to understand theories and lots of other stuff I previously would have fallen asleep reading!!).

If you like this studentship, by all means go for it

here's sharing an email I just received:

A woman went into a store to buy her husband a pet for his birthday. After looking around, she found that all the pets were very expensive.

She told the clerk she wanted to buy a pet, but she didn't want to spend a fortune.

'Well,' said the clerk, 'I have a very large bullfrog. They say it's been trained to give blow jobs!'

'Blow jobs!' the woman replied.

'It hasn't been proven but we've sold 30 of them this month,' he said.

The woman thought it would be a great gag gift, and what if it's true...

No more blow jobs for her!

She bought the frog.

When she explained froggy's ability to her husband, he was extremely sceptical and laughed it off! ...

The woman went to bed happy, thinking she may never need to perform this less than riveting act again.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise of pots and pans flying everywhere, making hellacious banging and crashing sounds.

She ran downstairs to the kitchen, only to find her husband and the frog reading cook books.

'What are you two doing at this hour?' she asked.

The husband replied,

'If I can teach this frog to cook..........you're gone.'

Quote From sneaks:

ooh love Glee! I'm a Gleek!

My sup often triple books meetings with all her supervisees, so we all sit around having to wait for the others to come out. e.g we all turn up at 1pm, but some of us have to wait until 3pm or 4pm to be seen! Very annoying!

I've decided to start writing bits of my husbands thesis, that he refuses to do because he's in a mood with the whole thing.


:-) I have a friend whose boyfriend used to do all her assignments for her!!!!

Quote From amanda:

Yeah Satchi, that was my first ever post on here, where i started a thread saying help tutors confusing me. I didnt know who to please, each one had their own style, and one wanted me to add somthing in the intro, whereas the other wanted it in the discussion. You just have to take all the good points from them all and do it that way, and maybe go more with the one who understands ur topic the most. Saying that, two weeks on, i still havent decided where to put that info, in intro and in discussion...lol, but i have managed to sort the other things out.



I'm so glad things got sorted for you :-) for me, if this carries on for a while, eventually I develop a writer's block, like everything starts shutting down because in the corner of my head something keeps screaming at me "it will be argued/debated/etc/etc/etc", not easy...

I feel so tired because not only is he asking me something that is not relevant, he is going round in circles. If I show you, his email, you will most likely agree with me. He writes long dreary emails. Im glad I only have one supervisor like this, the others are easier to understand (email-wise). but its so hard to please everybody.

thanks amanda...
now I see another email coming in from my (irrelevant other) supervisor *sigh*
