Do you listen to music while writing an essay?
K

All the time, I play my last.fm radio stream at work, and when writing I compile a list of albums. I find post-rock, minimal-techno and minimal-house works for me. It's a matter of personal preference.

Help with R
K

I've spent the last few evenings getting into R and I've come a long way. I've had a stab at all my questions and managed to figure them out through a mixture of youtube videos, forum posts and manuals.

However, I was wondering if an R expert on here could check one of my programs? I could PM them the command and the task that was set. I'm not 100% confident in what I've done, although I do think the majority of it is correct.

Help with R

My background is in SPSS. I have a very good knowledge of statistics, just never used R before. Totally unfamiliar with the interface and the way to use it.

Help with R
K

I have to learn the basics of the software, and the test isn't closed or anything like that. I can garner information from wherever I need to. I'm not asking someone to do it for me, I want to do it myself and learn as I go. But, I'm anticipating I might have some issues somewhere at which point I might ask for help.

PrimoPdf is a good piece of software for this. It's free too.

That I couldn't say. However, as a full-time student you are classed as studying full-time if you see what I mean. In terms of how HMRC look at it, I couldn't say.

SPSS messing with categorical variables
K

When you are setting up your regression model, you'll have your IV's and your DV. You need to click on the categorical button at the side of the logistic regression window after putting all your variables in. When you click on the categorical button, you then drag all the categorical variables to the right hand side and select either first or last as your reference category. If you don't like the first or last category as they are, you will need to go in and recode your variables so that the category you want is first or last.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I confirmed this with an advisor at the University earlier on today, but great to hear someone else saying the same. I thought it was too good to be true to be honest!!

Research proposal application

It is confusing. In short, the difference is between methodology and methods. Your research design is usually (rules of thumb here) quantitative where you test a hypothesis, qualitative which would involve building theory from data or answering a question, or mixed which can involve a bit of both.

In terms of methods, you might be looking at experimental methods, surveys, ethnography, discourse analysis, interviews, etc etc.

Hopefully this helps.

Hello,

I'm going to be a father in a few months. I get a studentship from my university to do my phd, and on the side I take a few tutorials a week. My wife works in the private sector.

My question is this, does my studentship count as income when calculating our entitlement to child tax credits? I'm aware that my tutoring will as I pay NI on that income, but the information on the HMRC website is not absolutely clear when it comes to my studentship.

Anyone who knows the answer to this will be my hero!! (up)8-)
