Being hospitalized, even for a short time, saps your strength, and your resolve (if you let it.)
Learning that I have Hepatocellular Carcinoma as a result of the gallstones, infection, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that sidelined me for a couple of months last year has been a shock.
But, learning that HCC is a “better” diagnosis than Biliary Carcinoma because it responds well to immunotherapy has given me hope that I may yet stick around for a few more years.
In any case, life goes on. And I have been taking my time trying to get back into the groove of tackling the remaining courses in my Associate Data Scientist in R career track from DataCamp.
I had started the “Hypothesis Testing in R” course a couple of days before I was hospitalized, and just finished it this evening.
| Course | Project | Assessment | |
| #24 | Hypothesis Testing in R |
Most of the hypothesis testing techniques I learned in my undergraduate and graduate courses at CSU Hayward/East-Bay in the early 2000’s leveraged early or rudimentary packages for inferential statistics.
I’ve learned a lot about the “infer” package and simulation-based hypothesis tests.
I’ll definitely need to practice with the latter more so that using them becomes second nature.
