#introductions Hi, I'm Tiffany. To expand on my profile... I live in the UK but am originally from sunny California. My work revolves around #economics and #economicpolicy. I love #econometrics and #datascience. In my free time, I'm #musical and enjoy #dancing. I like #tea and #wine, #sushi and #dimsum. I'm into #fashion, #watches, and #jewelry, and am sometimes a bit #kinky, but not without CW (and probably not here). I also love fluffy things.

For intro theory, Stock and Watson and Wooldridge are probably the best, but you'll probably want something about programming in a stats package. R is free and very extendable, and Florian Heiss' 'Using R for Introductory Econometrics' is quite helpful. After that point, you'll probably want to focus on time series methods, which can get quite complicated.
@dumpling thanks for the book suggestions! I dabbled in R and ran back to the comfort of Python. Maybe I'll give it another try. Time series doesn't sound so bad ... are we talking calculus, probability, and/or Fourier analysis?
@fullywoolly R Studio makes R look nicer, but might not be what you want. Time series analysis has lots of stuff feeding into it, but my guess is that you'll pick it up relatively easily.
@dumpling oh I never used an IDE with R. I'll give it a go. Thanks :D
Welcome on Fediverse.
@dumpling whoaa.. you're tea fan too!
@sopan
Definitely, what are your faves?
@dumpling
Black or Herbal tea mostly
i love numerous combinations we try at our home
lemongrass + Ginger with added Lime tree leaves
or Holy Basil(Tulsi) + Ginger with added Lime tree leaves
Or Cinnamon + Ginger + Pepper (in Winter Only)
or
Mint leaves with lime tree leaves sometimes it makes great taste.
or just cardamom Tea
we use red label Tea powder as a Base
@sopan
Cool, I switch between green, pu erh, and oolong. I've been trying out different sorts of infusions lately... Might steal some of yours, they sound tasty! ๐ต
@dumpling haha. allowed to steal ๐ as we're on opensource social network. nothing proprietary here ๐ i need to check if i can get pu erh, and oolong in india. will try these. i don't go for packaged ones usually but the famous among my friends is Twinings (https://www.amazon.in/stores/Twinings/Twinings/page/85291E59-0FA4-4146-907B-26DBB9A1BD31)
@sopan
Might be a good place to start. My guess is someone also imports them from China and Japan if you decide you like them
@dumpling hi Tiffany! ๐
@walruslifestyle
Hi Walrus!
@dumpling as someone with solid math background interested in new ways to analyze my portfolio, where do you recommend starting with econometrics?
