就是這令人又愛又恨的Forest Plot啊…這門必修的meta-analysis & systematic review實在佔去太多的時間，從考試前到考試後都還是逃不過它的追殺…在讚嘆同組黃白黑女人的厲害時，我想我還是要get down to the earth好好一步步來，至少先看懂她們上傳的do-files再說…(spoken by 2 epi grad students)
oh my god, Becky, look at his log file, it is so big,
he looks like one of those biostats grad students
but, you know, who understands biostats?
they only hired him because he looks like a total geek, ok?
i mean, his log file is like 200 pages.
i can't believe he even calculated, like, what's a Schoenfeld residual?
i mean -- gross. look! he's just so... smart!
i like good stats and i cannot lie,
you other brothers can't deny,
that when you get some data, and you put it in STATA,
and it spits out a beta of 10 you get sprung
and you're thinkin "no way -- gonna send that to JAMA today!"
couldn't be any fairer, cause i've got no residual error
oh data, i wanna get withya, regress and fit ya
my mentor tried to warn me, but those odds ratios get me so horny
ooh add a spline term, you say you wanna perfect fit?
just add a quadratic, with STATA it's automatic.
you seen my 2-tail, kickin' it on the log scale,
no leaf, no stem, got it going with GLM
i'm tired of magazines saying exact tests are the things,
take the average grad student, she will say, i like your logit way
so fellas, fellas, did you download the DTA,
well shake it, shake it, shake and regress today
baby got stats
i like my R-squared's big, the AUC i dig, i just can't help myself
analyzin' like an animal, now here's my scandal
i wanna sit at home and sum, double-up, sum-of-squares
i ain't talkin' exact test, large sample assumption is the best.
i want a high coefficient, so find a cohort study,
if the data's muddy, i'll clean it up with my buddy.
put a paper in Nature or Cell, takes 7 years to do it well,
you can tell everyone i'm a geek, but i'll write my grant in a week.
a word to you epi sistas, i wanna get withya, i won't overfit ya,
but it's gonna be great when we're playin with
Cox (Sir David, that is) til the break of dawn,
STATA got it goin' on,
a lot of people gonna be served,
they don't know their proportional hazards, but i got me a log log curve
and i shout, without a doubt, don't make me get my DO file out
so ladies, ladies, using methods from the 80's?
well don't resign, get STATA 9, and your thesis will be fine
baby got stats
yeah baby, when it comes to regression models,
epi ain't got nothing to do with my selection.
2x2 tables?
yeah, only if it's AJE
so my girlfriend likes my chevy, and thinks calculus is heavy,
but i got strict rules for "exploring" in the back of my chevy,
my final model don't want none unless your p is 0.01
you can do stepwise or subsets, or even AIC.
some brothers analyze survival, tell you censoring just dont count,
but i find them, and remind them, competing risks are behind them,
so they teach STATA in class, and the real world uses SAS,
but remember that STATA is nearly free,
and for SAS you pay a yearly fee.
scatterplots i do adore, but i can do much more,
you want prediction, i'll create it, bootstrap and validate it.
a 650 geek went too far, tried to do it all in R,
he had game but he didn't perfect it, and Annals had to reject it.
so ladies if your budget's tight, ask me to do your stats tonight,
you'll have a valid sample size, and get your nobel prize
baby got stats
換到blogspot後感覺容易又快速多了，真不知道為什麼撐那麼久才換？補說一下過去幾個月一些奇怪的經歷好了，反正今天下雪停課時間多？話說我想辦一張信用卡來累積信用紀錄很久了(也不知道聽誰說的，說是我右邊那張BoA的debit卡雖有VISA功能，但沒有信用紀錄？)，(不過又聽原來那個"誰" 後來說其實是有的…真是搞不清楚…)，所以曾在amazon 申請過一張卡，後來好像沒下來就是…所以後來capital one這家來信offer說我可以申請時我就不疑有他的申請下去了，而且是網上申請, 後來過幾天就寄來了一張卡…就是左邊這張長得很怪異的卡，道首先，沒看過新的visa字樣(後來證實是我自己太笨沒看過新的)，而且上的名字和號碼都像是拼起來的，照片裡不容易看出來啦…和學長討論後覺得要去這家銀行直接問一下就知道，而且要報告一下這種情況以免權益受損。不過我過了幾個月還沒有所動作就是了…
