Using STATA instead of R is like using TACACS instead of RADIUS

2017-04-11 21:16:38 UTC  

@Nikephoros what do you need to use it for?

2017-04-11 21:18:18 UTC  

@Koba I mostly use R, but one class I take uses Sata

2017-04-11 21:19:05 UTC  

But basically I'm trying to interpret a Granger Causality test

2017-04-11 21:26:22 UTC  

Hmmm

2017-04-11 21:26:42 UTC  

Well I'd see if you can pirate it first

2017-04-11 21:26:49 UTC  

Stata is fucking expensive

Don't buy it if you aren't sure it can fulfill your needs

2017-04-11 21:27:03 UTC  

I've already done it.

2017-04-11 21:27:14 UTC  

I just need help interpreting the output

2017-04-11 21:27:57 UTC  

Do you know any classmates/professors that could help?

2017-04-11 21:28:23 UTC  

Professors would be best but if you're at a state college it might be difficult to get to them during office hours

2017-04-11 21:28:31 UTC  

My prof is hard to get to

2017-04-11 21:28:47 UTC  

And so many people in this class are very confused

2017-04-11 21:29:06 UTC  

Do you have a TA that's of any use?

2017-04-11 21:29:20 UTC  

Do you know anyone who's already taken the class and could help?

2017-04-11 21:29:22 UTC  

No TAs

2017-04-11 21:29:28 UTC  

Rip

2017-04-11 21:29:37 UTC  

TAs are usually useless anyway

2017-04-11 21:30:02 UTC  

From what I understand, It's very straightforward if you know what these outputs mean

2017-04-11 21:31:17 UTC  

Like does Prob > F = (#) mean Fail to reject or reject H0

2017-04-11 21:33:40 UTC  

@Nikephoros I have no idea, I haven't used R since I used python

2017-04-11 21:33:55 UTC  

Which I haven't done since python 2.7 came out

2017-04-11 21:34:14 UTC  

I know a guy who's premed who could help but I'm not sure I'll be able to get a hold of him

2017-04-11 21:34:29 UTC  

I have a friend at Case Western, I can shoot him a text and ask if he knows

2017-04-11 21:34:36 UTC  

So none of those outputs mean anything to you?

2017-04-11 21:35:25 UTC  

Lol not at the moment

2017-04-11 21:35:41 UTC  

Sorry, but I'll ask a couple of friends and see if they can help

2017-04-11 21:36:46 UTC  

ok the simplest way you can ask them is this: "Do these results indicate that I can reject H0?"

2017-04-11 21:44:14 UTC  

You know what, I think the decision rule is Reject H0 if "Prob > F" is greater than "F(#, #)"

2017-04-11 21:44:29 UTC  

Which appears to be true

2017-04-11 21:45:05 UTC

2017-04-11 21:46:06 UTC  

@Koba Tell him this is the output to a Granger Causality Test

2017-04-11 21:46:11 UTC  

I did

2017-04-11 21:46:26 UTC  

He's a bit of an autiste so he takes a while to get his thoughts out

2017-04-11 21:48:28 UTC  

I see. I'm fairly certain that I can reject H0. Even if I don't know how to explain it using the data, the underlying question is: Is "egg" the cause of "Chicken"

2017-04-11 21:49:02 UTC  

The answer is, presumably, yes.

2017-04-11 21:52:45 UTC  

@Nikephoros I wish I could offer help. I used STATA for econometrics as well, but that was nearly 10 years ago.
