Proud to be a co-author with Rasha Al-Lamee Matthew Shun-Shin on a 100% Bayesian clinical trial paper that also uses our latest longitudinal ordinal modeling approach, helped by the #rstats rmsb package: thelancet.com/journals/lance… How can cardiologist Matthew Shun-Shin master all this?

What an amazing time together with two of my all-time favorite collaborators, from Imperial College London, Matthew Shun-Shin and Rasha Al-Lamee coupled with fun discussions about clinical trial design, outcome measures, Bayes, and more.

This will be fun Lucy D’Agostino McGowan ! So many analysts are puzzled about inclusion of the outcome variable in imputation. #WebENAR Vanderbilt Department of Biostatistics #Statistics

This is a must-see on many levels. While watching it I became frightened at how things are so similar in my field of #Statistics especially related to Sabine Hossenfelder 's comment 'They just wanted to write papers', plus how fad-driven is #Statistics .

#Statistics throught of the day: If sponsors knew how much money was wasted with fixed sample size designs, and how much earlier Bayesian sequential designs would have bailed out on ineffective treatments, they'd be shocked. hbiostat.org/bayes/bet/desi…

April fools or not this has a great list of reasons that p-values don’t give us what we need.

This blog article has been much improved with several more examples of assumptions made by various #Statistics methods, and making a distinction between faux-nonparametric methods like Wilcoxon and log-rank, and true nonparametric methods like Kolmogorov-Smirnov.

New blog article attempting to answer 'What does it mean for a statistical method to make a specific assumption?' : fharrell.com/post/assume #Statistics Vanderbilt Department of Biostatistics

What on earth is the point in obsessing about non- collapsibility of odds ratios whilst failing to observe that the 'binary' outcome is actually an arbitrary dichotomy.

Another great paper pointing out why the model used to analyze #clinicaltrials should adjust for a superset of stratification information. #Statistics

Frank Harrell You know you've won when non-statisticians start to publish stuff that repeat what statisticians often say

This is always a fantastic conference. #rstats

Michael S Roth Wesleyan University Dear Pres Roth- Please check out my new video- It’s “Schoolhouse Rock for systemic racism” I think Wes would appreciate!

I look forward to giving this 3 hour seminar on ordinal regression modeling for Statistical Horizons #Statistics #rstats

The story of the tiny, deformed tortoise who took off running when it was given wheels.

#rstats software discovery of the day: When using Quarto to produce a Word .docx file containing LaTeX math in it, the Word file perfectly renders the equations and they are editable using LaTeX syntax in Word. Didn't know that. The equations don't display on iPad though.
