have a good night!

Greg Miller

8:03

I actually have heard other folks talk about it...

Kasey

8:03

If you find yourself traveling and wanting something interesting to listen to you should listen to his podcast tho.

Greg Miller

8:03

I'm I'm going to sit down and watch the same thing for two hours or so.. it needs to be a baseball game...

Kasey

8:02

Baby Kristen Stewart and Josh Hutchins were in that!

Greg Miller

8:02

I'm actually NOT a big movie guy.... so I don't see very many films.. most of the time in convos like this I haven't seen all the movies that everyone else has

Kasey

8:01

Omg I loved that movie! and forgot about it! All the Jumanji movies are coming out but I forgot that one came out!

Greg Miller

Zathura.. yes

8:00

Well.. only LOOSELY.. like I was telling Elena..that's NOT an absolute rule.. it's only meant to be a loose guide

Kasey

8:00

Have you ever seen him act in anything?

7:59

ok so below .10 or .05 is rare.

Greg Miller

7:58

Just googled that Dax Shepard is 45.. and I'm 51.. so we are close in age! LOL...

If you look carefully at the z-chart you'll see that there are probabilities below .1000 and .0500 on there...

THere are values on the chart that would still lead to rare p-values

7:57

No. not true

Kasey

7:57

If it's on the chart it's not rare?

Greg Miller

7:57

But a p-value of .02 or .002 pretty much always would be since they are less than .10 or .05

7:56

So, basically, a p-value of .22 would basically never be called rare

You will learn how to pick this cutoff in Case 2A.

7:55

What that means is that a GENERAL cutoff for "rare p-value" is only p-values get below .10 or .05... that's a typical cutoff for rare.

Kasey

7:55

That's what I thought

Greg Miller

7:55

This is what Elena brought up in Zoom recently...

Kasey

7:54

In the ism on pg 25 it says "Statisticians involved in statistical inference problems generally don't label p-values as rare until they fall in the lower or upper 5%-10% of the null distribution." What does this mean? and how can I apply it to my conclusion in the drug case?

Greg Miller

7:54

People coming by for office hours is what I miss the most..

Yeah, but honestly.. face-to-face is what we all like better.. basically every prof I know is just BEGGING for this thing to get better and get students back face-to-face.. we miss the classroom so much.

7:53

So, in some sense.. the whole COVID online thing worked out decently well for what I will do with the nurses in the Fall

Kasey

7:52

and now your are applying it to all your courses!

Greg Miller

So, I was "training" to make videos and design curriculum for them...

7:52

See.. I am going to teach two courses to graduate students in nursing in the fall and their program is TOTALLY online

7:51

Well.. what's interesting is that when COVID hit.. I was actually in online "Training" courses..

Kasey

That's great!

7:51

An now you are figuring out how to do it all totally online which is going to allow you to travel even more!

Greg Miller

7:49

Fall is quite busy... but my family travels with me a lot and the academic side is VERY supportive of my work with volleyball.. I have a great boss and my department here at SFA is really really good about my schedule

Kasey

7:49

Very cool but that sounds like you are busy 24/7!

Greg Miller

My screen says "4 readers".. anyone else.. jump in here if you want... we are just killing time w/ this convo!!

7:48

But baseball/volleyball are by FAR my favorite sports now.. I really don't even keep up with basketball much any more

But, was never close to having enough talent to play at the college level.

I played basketball in high school...

7:47

In the fall.. I only teach on TR.. so that I can travel with our club on the weekends to do radio while we are on the road.
