Unnamed TNG skant beefcake on Nostr: Reasons I don't like using things like JASP or Excel to do my stats work, even though ...
Reasons I don't like using things like JASP or Excel to do my stats work, even though they're probably "fine"
* The bugs (I'm talking about you Excel, don't change my data)
* The way to learn to use a GUI is by watching videos to show where the buttons are UGH
* When I get reviews on a paper 6 months after I did the stats and they ask me how I got this number, now I gotta remember which buttons on your fancy GUI I clicked and in what order? Not happening. In an R script it's all written down.
