@LektorThaulow @oddstingskjer @crudechad Noe av det verste er lønna. Erfarne og gode assistenter kommer aldri opp på nivå med en førskolelærer. Da må de gjennom 3 år med bullshit først.

@jasnoen Slike masterprogrammer er vanligere i utlandet, England f.eks.

@jasnoen Problemet med masteroppgaver kan løses ved å innføre master uten avhandling. Kurs kan være nyttige, men selve avhandlingen er ikke spesielt nyttig med mindre du vil bli forsker.

@KristianGunder Kjipt nok finnes det ok forskning om læring i psykologi, men det røres ikke i pedagogikk. F.eks. har "spacing effect" vært kjent over lenger tid, men anvendes svært lite https://t.co/Y62t2Rja1O

@Tall_Viking f = function(a = 1) a +2
y <- f(a = x <- 5 -> y) - y -> x

There's a real desire for statistical analysis to be a completely objective, theory-free, and context-free affair divorced from the reality of where the data came from. And I get where they get that, that's probably what I'd assume statistics was if I didn't know more about it.

@thomasp85 @MooresMt is right, sampling from the mixture density is the right (and easy!) way to do it, see the Gist https://t.co/vSpOlqpi9E
