But of course,
even the written paper these days, for
a complex data analysis, doesn't specify, really, all
the details that need to be used to need, that are needed to reproduce the findings.
So then you typically might have some supplementary de, materials which
have a lot more of the details about what was done.
And, and then if you really, really want to
kind of do what was done to a level of
precision that is kind of useful, you probably need
to get the code, the data and all the
gory details of kind of what happened.
So that's kind of like the, the range of things that you
might be able to present from least specific to most specific, so
not everyone, of course, is going to be writing a research paper,
but there is an analog to kind of most presentations of data analysis.
And so, if you're going to be you know, mailing results to a person.
Either a colleague, or a manager.
then, you know, the, the first line of information is the
subject of the email, all right, so the subject of the
e-mail is kind of like the title.
And you want to have it, kind of concise, you want to
be descriptive, and at a minimum, you want to have one, all right?
So don't leave it, don't, don't send an e-mail without a
subject, so it's not specific as to what the e-mail is about.
If you can summarize kind of what you've done in one
sentence, the, then it may be useful put that in the subject.
That way people reading the subject can kind of get a sense
of what's happening and maybe even make a decision based on that alone.
The next level of information of course is the email body.
And you, you don't want to go, even though there's no technical limit
on the size of the email body, you don't want to go too crazy
with this, But you want to have, you know provide a brief description of
the problem maybe if someone doesn't, you know, if the person may not remember.
If they're working on many different things at
once, they may not remember what the problem
is, precisely what you're working on, so give
them a little context, give them a little description.
Recall, you know, if there was a meeting previously.
You know, talk about what was
proposed and, you know, and what you actually did.
Summarize some of your findings and your results and maybe, you know, for
a total for one to two paragraphs in this whole, the email body.
If you need this, the person that you're presenting the
information to to take some sort of action based on these,
the results of this presentation, then you should try to
suggest some options that and make them as concrete as possible.
Alright. So and
if there are questions that need to be addressed,
if you want them to kind of comeback with
an answer, it's usually best to try to make
them yes no questions or as simple as possible.
