| May 27, 2022 at 16:03 | comment | added | EarlGrey | "We have a stat department though" OP's words. Then, I understand the difficulties in talking to other PhDs/researchers/etc. Not easy. If there are no social groups, or at least the understanding that all PhDs are in the same boat (full of ... water), one really need a lot of luck to get in touch with someone supportive. That's why I stated "OP may find" in my words there is a lot of hope and the understanding that a lot of luck is needed, unfortunately. | |

The implications of saying something like "Hey I need some help a problem I'm working on" to someone you don't already have a research relationship with are usually quite negative while in the west it can be a perfectly reasonable thing to do. | |
| May 27, 2022 at 9:39 | comment | added | EarlGrey | apart from 200 stack exchange sites, OP has a stat department in their uni. I would first try to get in touch with PhD/Master students there, unofficially. OP may find out they are all PhD-thirsty students not caring about moral issues to get theri PhDs, or OP may find someone like-minded, who knows, sometimes the luck plays in favour of one's life.... | |
