[tips] statistics teaching: SPSS vs R
Hi We teach statistics using SPSS, but I wonder if any people have been switching to R? Here's a recent post on R's popularity. http://r4stats.com/2014/08/20/r-passes-spss-in-scholarly-use-stata-growing-rapidly/ Take care Jim Jim Clark Professor Chair of Psychology 204-786-9757 4L41A --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

[tips] Internet Research: How Do You Sleep At Night?
The tech company Jawbone makes a fitness tracking device that records activity level, when one goes to sleep, when one wakes, how long one sleeps, etc. This data apparently is stored in a format that Jawbone can easily access and they have used it to determine sleep characteristics for users of the Jawbone UP tracker in different cities around the world. For more on the UP system, see: https://jawbone.com/up and see the Wikipedia entry for the Jawbone company: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawbone_%28company%29 NOTE: I have no financial interest in Jawbone. I don't use/wear their products. I am only interested in how they use data from their consumers to reach inferences about the characteristics of those consumers and, under the assumption that those consumers are representative of the cities/areas they live in, what conclusions can be made about the cities they live in because the mass media certainly don't seem interested in this issue. Anyway, an employee at Jawbone analyzed the sleep data (and steps walked data) and posted the results on the company website blog; see: https://jawbone.com/blog/jawbone-up-data-by-city/?ClickID=ca74s7apaz4pzzvikeaqwlzwsikpax4xaksxkq#newyork NOTE: Perhaps we should expect companies to release their research results in this form in the future. It certainly beats having to wait for external peer review and publishing in a journal. This analysis has been picked up by popular news media sources, such as the NY Daily News; see: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/new-yorkers-bed-early-study-finds-article-1.1909123 NOTE: NY UP system users apparently go to sleep earlier, at least relative to other UP system users in other cities; unclear whether NYers who don't use UP also go to sleep earlier -- I'll leave it to the reader to think up why this might be the case. And the Washington Post; see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/08/20/21-of-americas-biggest-cities-average-fewer-than-seven-hours-of-sleep-each-night/ The first sentence in the WP article is: Americans might run on sleep, but those living in the country's largest cities don't appear to run on much. This statement is only true if the UP users are truly representative of the cities they live in but there is no demographic information provided on the participants. Otherwise, the WP article should start with A poorly described sample of UP users in the U.S. imply One wonders whether race/ethnicity, income level, gender, and other factors show significant differences among UP users in a city (as well as how well the levels of these variables are represented in the samples). Just another example to use for research methods. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Here's a recent post on R's popularity. http://r4stats.com/2014/08/20/r-passes-spss-in-scholarly-use-stata-growing-rapidly/ I'm still using SPSS but my informal impression is that R is gaining in popularity, especially in graduate programs. The cost difference is probably the key factor: whatever IBM is charging for SPSS licenses versus $0 for R. For those who are unfamiliar with R, see: http://www.r-project.org/ If one is skilled in using SPSS, then learning R will be difficult because of significant proactive interference (N=1 as myself as a subject, however, there is anecdotal evidence that SPSS users experience this though this is not unique to R, similar experiences have been reported for Stata). Getting to the same level of proficiency with R that one has with SPSS will involved a significant amount of time and effort (assuming that one uses SPSS through syntax and not the point and click menu system). Unless IBM makes SPSS low/no cost for colleges/universities, one can expect that they will drop SPSS because of cost-cutting and the only question is whether one starts early or late in making the transition. It is unlikely that IBM will reduce the cost of SPSS to make it competitive with R. At NYU there is a version of SPSS that is available to students through a virtual lab that contains various licensed software packages. Faculty are not allowed access to this, consequently, I have no idea what version of SPSS is available there nor can I use it during lecture to show how to use it. Things like this is sure to turn off faculty to using SPSS in teaching in the future. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Hey, maybe it's a lonely rat, though on the NYC subways that does seem somewhat improbable. Or maybe we might have a high sensation seeking rat with a love for taking risks.

Or has our group gotten so small because of so many people leaving? I seem to see about three people now. Ah, I miss the old days Anyhow,I don't know if this warning thing is a gmail thing.
