oh dear, you've landed yourself in it. Structural equation modelling did I hear you say???

My question is.........Can I have multiple output variables (endogenous variables) and run it like a regression i.e. run it like 4 separate regressions, but all at once???

urgh, not having a good day, stuck on stats - really have no clue what to do and I'm the 'stats expert' at my uni (ha!) so I'm the top of the ladder - there is no one to ask :-(

Quote From jepsonclough:

I stressed all last night (which was our wedding anniversary and so instead of being delighted that my husband had bought me the same flowers as I had in my bouquet I walked straight past them to look what back-ups I had on my home computer :$)


wow, you have got him well trained! My hubs wouldn't even know that I had a bouquet lol.

congrats on finding it! Now back it up - my friend lost her entire data stick contents, we don't know how, we think she may have left it near her mobile, but its wiped clean and IT couldn't do anything to retrieve the data!

Can you not just change Bug's old 'PhDbug' account name, so she can retain her stars??

The last straw?

Sounds like your in a very similar situation to me.

I'd go along to the meeting, show what you've got and ask for tips on how to change/improve. Its much easier to change work IMO, before its 'finished', becuase it becomes increasingly difficult to tamper with any of it, if it all looks like its 'done' if you get what I mean?

They gave you the deadline to get you working - you have worked, just not finished. The key now is not to give up and put it to oneside but push through with it and get it done in the next few weeks, with any changes your sup thinks is necessary.

Its also likely that the bits you have completed are good quality, which is better than having it ALL finished but badly.

I think it depends on how you structure the whole thing. I know somone who has done a HUGE lit review, but if you actually read it, its a lit review and methodological review (which I will have in my methods chapter).

I think my discussion will be "so overall, that was reasonably interesting but not earth shattering, more research is needed"

Quote From DanB:

Dukan.

It's THE celeb diet of the moment if you believe all the magazines and papers (even the non trashy ones - I keep seeing it mentioned all over the place). French women get fat it seems and when they do they turn to Dukan.


I thought french women just smoke a lot and drank a lot of black coffee rather than eat (?) ;-)

anything any good from there?

Dark nights, SAD, light boxes, etc etc
Avatar for sneaks

well, we set our old alarm just in case, for 6am, but we woke naturally at 5.53 with the light and it was a different kind of waking - very strange. Although may try it 5 mins later, so we wake up at 6am - those 7-8 mins of sleep are essential :p

where do you get your stats from (i.e. population stats)
Avatar for sneaks

yeah, I'm having the same issues. I have a charity that has done some analysis on ONS data, but its very vaugue and probably not reliable. It was also done in 2001, and the population I'm studying is changing rapidly so is pretty out of date.

I bought a lumie clock yesterday and used it for an 'alarm' this morning. Was really weird - woke naturally without any alarm. Will see how it goes over the next week and report back!

Avatar for sneaks

I need stats about the UK population. Where do you get yours. I need them about a specific group in work.

I look at national statistics, and I've had a nosey through the UK data archive (ESDS) to no avail. Any ideas?
