error with inner class object Why not always present logistic regression estimates in the response scale (probablity)? There's a lot of discussion in epidemiology around the relative merits of odds ratios vs risk ratios. Proponents of the former cite the mathematical qualities of odds (not constrained to be between 0 and 1) and their suitability for examining common outcomes. Proponents of the latter believe that RR's are often more interpretable, and match how clinicians and the public tend to think. Some have suggested methods to model risk ratios directly (in multivariable models). For instance, the log binomial model and poisson regression with robust standard errors. What I don't understand is - why don't we just fit the model using standard logistic regression and perform the inverse logit transformation on the fitted estimates? For instance, lets say we are trying to predict coronary heart disease using BMI (exposure) and age (confounder). We could fit the model and estimate the odds of CHD across the range of values of BMI (adjusted for age), according to the model. We then take the inverse-logit of those fitted odds to transform them onto the probability scale. Seemingly this way we now have an idea of the risk of the outcome across all values of the exposure, which we can plot or otherwise describe. But i've never seen this method recommended. Which makes me think there must be a conceptual issue with it?? p.s. lets assume we are performing a cross-sectional or cohort study (not a case-control study). Delete data using 2 DialogForm Info Icon vs Question Mark How to ask great questions As programmers we are daily faced with having to get requirements, test things out, etc.  It's practically half our job to know what questions to ask, and how to ask them to get the most concise, actionable answer possible, especially from reluctant users/managers/customers/etc.  How do you ask questions that get answers? Who is sample No. 118 in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward? In H. P. Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, Dr. Willett      Enters Joseph Curwen's dungeon and resurrects a dead person identified as No. 118 by reciting the incantation of the Ascending Node over his salts.   Dr. Willett is told by      The resurrected Joseph Curwen, impersonating Charles Dexter Ward, who he secretly murdered,   that   " 'twas Number 118, and I conceive you would have shook had you looked it up in my list in t'other room."  No. 118 himself gives Dr. Willett a note asking the doctor to      kill Joseph Curwen.   It soon becomes clear that No. 118 is opposed to the nefarious dealings that have been transpiring and desirous of being an ally of Dr. Willett.  Who is No. 118?  Earlier in the story,      The grave of Ezra Weeden, a primary instigator in Joseph Curwen's initial downfall and the romantic rival of Curwen, is robbed. There doesn't seem to be any other mention of Weeden in the 20th century occurrences, so without a further connection the passage seems superfluous.   The shared goals of these two people seem to indicate that No. 118 may, in fact, have been that person, but the      Note given by No. 118 to Dr. Willett in eighth century Latin seems to indicate someone much older than Ezra Weeden.   It also occurred to me that No. 118 could be      The recently murdered Charles Dexter Ward himself. Ward's reference to killing Dr. Allen (who is actually an alias of Curwen) and dissolving his body with acid and No. 118's mention of doing the same to Curwen seem to support the idea, but that still doesn't explain the archaic note. Ward is described as writing in a somewhat modern style, at least as opposed to Curwen. It also doesn't explain why Curwen would want to murder Ward if he was going to resurrect him later anyway. I have now enough reputation points on Stack Overflow to edit every post directly. But sometimes (especially if this is about a field where I'm not savvy, or when I try to edit a question title without having understood the question itself) I might be not totally sure about whether my edit really is an improvement.  For now, I have these options:   Do the edit anyway, hope that someone else will catch it if it is wrong Don't do the edit, and hope that someone else will see this post and edit it in the right way Let a comment and hope that someone will see it (either after editing or instead of it). Flag the post for moderator attention (but will the moderators know it better?) Search the right chat room to find someone who knows more about the topic.   All these are not really optimal, I think.  I would like to have a check box     [_] Submit this edit for approval   which, when checked, would submit the edit into the usual edit approval queue. Then I would get at least one or two other pairs of eyes looking over my edit, and maybe even improving it.  (I don't really care about the +2 reputation for the edit - I think it should be without any reputation difference here.)  There's an  for nearly giving everyone the ability to suggest edits that the post owner can approve, but I'm simply interested in being able to insert them into the general edit queue where anyone can approve them.  Actually, I could do this right now by having a low-reputation sock puppet (or a totally anonymous edit), but I think this is not the intended use for sock puppets, is it? Also, I would like to be able to get feedback for my edit. Is there any adjustment required when computing the correlation coefficient between:   continuous and discrete variable  two discrete variables ?    Thanks ! Is there any anti-gravity material? I want to know if there is any  material. I am thinking of making flying vehicles which are made up of anti-gravity material so that they will not experience any gravity on them and can easily take off and be more fuel efficient. Is there any such thing? Or any workaround? I'm trying to wrap my head around how SQL Server decides to grant certain rights based on a users login privileges.  If a user is part of a group "READ ONLY" which has access to DB1, but they are also a part of a group "SysAdmin" which has full db owner rights to the same DB1, which rights are they given when they log in?  On a similar note. What if they are part of a group but also have a standalone account with other middle of the road privileges? I have put his on wolfram and obtained answer as follows:  $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n}{2^n} = 2$  And the series is convergent too because $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac {n}{2^n} = 0$  However I am wondering if there is a convenient way to solve this; I don't think you can represent it by a geometric progression either. So how do we have to do it on paper? Lost access to sudo sudo: unable to resolve host   I think I need to edit the /etc/hosts file to make an entry for 127.0.1.1 PC name.  But how can I do that if I can't access sudo? It seems to have gone since I updated to 13.10.  I have tried nano, which still doesn't work.

I've searched the web, and all of the solutions lean to some sort of JNI interface with native bindings.  Truly this can't be the only way to do it?.. or is it? On exactly what criteria is the Electorate badge awarded? There is a badge named Electorate which is going to be awarded on "Voted on 600 questions and 25% or more of total votes are on questions". Can somebody explain this to me?  Voted on 600 Question and 25% are on Question? is this  means   Voted on 600 Posts and 25% are on Question  Can't SO place some easy text or Definitions for average users? Say my opponent plays a planeswalker during their first main phase.  I have a  or some other effect that will kill it after it is already in play, but before they use any of its abilities.  I could respond to them using a +1 ability, but I want to kill it before that effect goes on the stack.  In most casual situations, it would basically come down to whether I say "Hero's Downfall" first, or they say "+1" first.  But I can't imagine that's how it's supposed to work.  Is there a time between when the planeswalker hits the battlefield and when they activate its abilities that they must let me respond? It seems to me that situations like this arise frequently, and they are resolved simply by who speaks up first, which is horrible for such a rules-oriented game.
