I would be grateful if you can provide details of 'where to shop' and other 'how to adjust guides'. Dankeschön. 8 Likes |

calculator123:Hi. I think I can give an hindsight to what you truly mean since I had my undergraduate degree in Statistics as well, however the advise I'd give are purely mine and is subjected to criticisms. I'd be giving anecdotes which I believe will help you also. First, what do you truly want to do? A degree in statistics will open your eyes to many fields (supposing you're good enough) such as Data Science, Economics, Quantitative economics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Quantitative finance, and other fields that requires computing /calculations. I was once in your shoes, now I'm in a Quantitative Economics programme for my masters degree. From the above, I believe you now know a degree in Statistics provides you with a wide range of options (provided your quantitative skills are good). However, since your question stated you're only concerned about "research ", I would implore you to decide what field you want to apply "your statistics" to - from this, you can now decide the research you want to delve into. Also, get some programming skills - Learning R or Python + SAS, Java or C++ won't hurt. In fact, I can categorically say, if you're proficient with any of these, research becomes easier as you would be faces with solving problems and where does research stem from? Problems of course! Moreover, volunteer to analyze undergraduates projects, be closer to a lecturer in your department whom you know is smart [sic], take your thesis and internship (IT) seriously and when you're done? Write GRE and TOEFL, on your SOP state the above listed skills (provided you acquired them) and experiences; emphasize on how you believe these skills are useful in graduate school, how you believe you can succeed and how the department's requirements fits your description. I'm sorry I can't explain further as I'm very busy, but please "graduate with a First Class degree or a very strong 2:1". I never regretted graduating the top of my school as it had opened lots of opportunities. I would leave the rest to my boss (Baum1) and GboyegaD. We all have similar profile (BSc. Statistics). I hope they can contribute. P. S: Pardon my grammar errors, I don't have time to edit anything now. Best. 10 Likes 1 Share |

As a statistician, I would say his argument is very weak. In fact, all he has said is an "hypothesis " since he has no data or proof to back it up. Besides, "Statistics don't lie, Humans do... " 2 Likes 1 Share |

imperiouxx: And no one would blame you for that. I remember few years ago, this guy was talking about DEPRESSION, SUICIDE, falling out of status and taking antidepressants drugs. I remember people here rallied round him (I won't mention names) but is this what THEY get for all the support? Just today, you stated how someone assisted you before the end of the same day, you threatened him with a lawsuit, Why - because you know he works in a big company and you can get some cash or what? I'm certain you won't win this case; I'm just worried your actions will inadvertently let the GOOD people we have here think twice before rendering help. P. S: "Never bite the hand that feeds you...

Samcent: Good day sir, I understand your plight perfectly but you have to continue with your personal learning, with time you would master it. More so, since you have a basic statistics background, i can't say it's enough but you can improve on it with time as you need to also improve on your mathematics to understand some topics. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to spare but i have dedicated at least 45 minutes to this thread daily and I'm positive it will increase as i get response from others (i tend to be a good listener than talker). Now, i would love it if you can share any topic you read or any question you have on this thread though this will not divert the aim of this thread. Thanks for reaching out, hope to hear from you soon! |

I appreciate all your honest replies, i have to avoid stories that touches the heart. 1. I went to one of FedEx office in Port Harcourt to make inquiry on the prepaid courier service and i was told they don't give this to people and i have to pay (N3,700) for them to ship it to Lagos and another (N3,700) in order for the embassy to send it back to Port Harcourt. My question is, how do i get a prepaid courier service without wasting valuable time? 2. I was recently told to apply for long term visa after my Schegen visa application was rejected hence the embassy booked an appointment for me on July 12. My question is, do i have to send my transcript to the embassy for them to certify (and convert to its German equivalent) or i should go with it on the given day? Thanks for taking your time to read this, i will be anticipating your replies. |

Now, don't be scared by the terminologies you see above, you will master them all but more importantly know when to use them. The major challenge people face in machine learning is knowing what algorithm to use and when to use it. For example, people use linear regression when they ought to use logistic regression. Hey! i know what you're thinking, you recall i said i would place more emphasis on practice instead of talking right? My next post, i would introduce you to R and we move from there, how about that? |
