Q How hard is it to learn R for medical statistics?
I am a 3rd year medical student really interested in pursuing a career in research and I am trying to learn R since I heard is the best tool for medical research when doing statistical analysis. I have never used any programming language before so I am really lost. How hard is it to learn R?

Have you ever worked on a team where another engineer/scientist isn’t productive and seems to be knowledgeable, but when implementing they have no idea.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experience with co workers who kind of just pretend they know what they’re doing, and skate by. I currently work with someone who hasn’t written a single line of code and keeps doing “research work” for future work. When we do team coding sessions they seem clueless. Go on mute and don’t contribute. It’s kind of impressive how long they’ve been skating by. Just wondering if this is common in the industry.

Looking for face experiession - video - dataset
Hi, I am looking for faces dataset, more specifically non speaking faces with expressions in video format.
I found hume.ai but they are not responding. Is there any website that offers/sells dataset of this kind that you could recommend?
Thanks!

Q Using Bayesian Statistics to find best campaign offer at individual customer level...is Bayes Factor the best way to go?
Hello, I'm new to Bayesian Statistics and I wanted to see if any of you had suggestions for how to proceed here.
Let's say each month we offer customers one of two campaigns they can enroll in (they have to click Join using our app)....one is 20% off one purchase, the other is Rewards Points based total purchase. The campaign are randomized, meaning a customer may receive the 20% campaign 3-4 straight months.
I'm trying to determine which campaign is best to offer each customer. Since they have to enroll, I was going to use enroll percentage to determine the Bayes Factor.
For example, for customer 1 the results look as follows
20% off Campaign Enroll Percentage: 66%
Reward Points Campaign Enroll Percentage: 50%
For Prior Odds, I'm using 44% (which is the average enroll % for the 20% off campaign for all customers). The result is 59, which my understanding means that their is strong evidence in favor of the hypothesis that customer 1 responds to the 20% off campaign more than the Reward points campaign.
So here's my questions
1. First off, am I understanding Bayes Factor correctly and am I doing it right?
2. Is their a way to add a weight based on total number of campaign offers? For example, say for 20% off campaign the customer had a 100% enrollment, but only 2 campaign offers, while Rewards the customer enrolled in 4 out of 8 offers, it's seems reasonable to assume that as the customer gets more 20% offers, the enrollment % will drop from down from 100%. Does adding the prior odds do this already? Sorry if this isn't making sense.
3. Would it be better to calculate the probability density function for each campaign and compare or perhaps another Bayesian method?
Thank you for your help. I'm open to any/all suggestions and am not looking for you to do it for me. Just need some guidance.

What's the deal with the Data Scientist job market? (and software development in general)
I work as a software engineer, and my brother works as a data scientist, and neither of us can land a single interview. We were talking about the job market during Thanksgiving last week and we both can't seem to get any interviews after hundreds of applications. Always auto rejected by the ATS systems/HR. Every job we apply for, same story. Within 1-2 weeks, we always receive an auto rejection email. We both looked at each other's resume's and our resume's clearly list our extensive experience and it's not a resume issue. I have a Master's Degree in CS and my brother has a PhD in CS. I work as a Staff Software Engineer and my brother works as a Principal Data Scientist and we can't get interviews. It makes no sense. I have worked in software development for nearly 10 years, and my brother a data scientist for over 6 years. We are both still employed but looking for a change. And the kicker: My brother has published research on Convolutional Neural Networks for medical device applications and went to CalTech (a very top tier school on the scale of MIT/Harvard if you don't live in the US) for his Master's/PhD and he can't even get an interview. Is there a mass hiring freeze going on across the industry? What's the deal? We both feel like we are sending our resumes into the abyss and they aren't even getting seen.
