This is an excellent read, for anyone interested in #reproducible #research

Shapley #Rstat #package v. 0.6 is on #CRAN. This package improves stability of feature importance assessment in exploratory #machinelearning research, analyzing multiple well-performing models rather than a single “best” model. #reproducibleresearch

We can no longer be silent.

We are complicit in the suffering and deaths of thousands of innocent children if we do not speak up.

It doesn’t matter which side you are on, innocent children should not be allowed to needlessly die.

This must stop. Please use your voice for an immediate ceasefire, the immediate end to blockades of humanitarian aid and the immediate release of all hostages now.

Why adult #theories of #suicide are incompatible with #children and #adolescents? In this article, I've tried to look at the #rationality assumption underlying these theories and assessing their generalizability to #youth:

Teens #videogames such as #TheSims recognizes #hunger and #overexertion as causes of #death, but #suicide #researchers neglect them! Because they do not fit the "definition" of suicide, and rather recognize them as #anorexia or etc! Gradual #passive #SelfDestruction is suicide!

The biggest issue of using #machinelearning in #healthscience is its lack of #stability & #reliability in exploratory #research. It's barely discussed in the literature! #Holistic #Multimodel #Domain #Analysis is an approach to address these limitations

The "HMDA" #R #Package is out. This pkg implements #Holistic #Multimodel #Domain #Analysis, a new #machinelearning paradigm for STABILIZING the result of #exploratory #analysis, performing #automatic #featureSelection, & finding important #factors and #domains in #bigdata.

[Haghish (@haghish.bsky.social) @Haghish]

A new version of #shapley #R #package is released on #CRAN. This algorithmic update improves #transparency & robustness of #SHAP values for exploratory and holistic #machinelearning #mentalhealth #research.

500 Bil goes to waste! Neither #Germany nor #Europe need more #army budgets. #Independence does not mean having a strong army. Nasty weaponry #industry that will profit from #rightwing ideology, & this is the beginning! But this investment makes no contribution to Germany or #EU

[Haghish (@haghish.bsky.social) @Haghish]

#ideation_to_action theories of #suicide are circular, defining #capability for suicide based on a combination of suicidal tendencies. A new study shows #differential diagnosis betw #selfharm & #attempt is possible, without the presumed capability.

Cognitive triad model has long been used to explain depression, eating disorders, and suicidality. This paper discusses a plausible enhancement by adding orientation toward the body, as “a pivotal interface, between the self, the world, and the future”.

Together with colleagues at @Psykologiskinst we explored #mental #health and #wellbeing aspects of self-reported #dishonesty among adolescents. The results emphasized #marginalization & lack of holistic wellbeing for this group. Preprint in the link below: https://t.co/R67SaWcXmm

Please read Danny Kruger's thread - another safeguard has been removed from the #AssistedDyingBill:

"Committee rejected requirements for a psychosocial intervention, and for doctors to ensure no remediable suicide risk factors before beginning discussions about AS"

It also seems that those who are terminally ill will not receive a multidisciplinary assessment.

Given all that we know about the complexity of suicide risk (with & without a terminal illness), and how desire to live/die fluctuates over time & is affected by social/psychological factors including feeling a burden on loved ones, these decisions are incredible!

[Haghish (@haghish.bsky.social) @Haghish]

@suicideresearch And the unsupported assumption that the individual is "fully aware" of "every alternative" as well as "all the causes" that has driven them to this decision, especially for young individuals. As if we are talking about abstract rationality that is not bounded to social context!

Although i barely tweet politics here, my account was full if Ads in favor of the racist AFD party in Germany. That cannot be random! There is big money promoting right wing chaos.

If #adolescent #suicide is the result of lack of #holistic #wellbeing, as shown in large AI analysis, then there is no effective #prevention apart from #promoting #welfare and #health for the whole #society. Read my recent paper for more discussion:

My recent paper challenges the #rationalistic #assumption in #suicidology, that #suicide #attempt can only be differentiated from #nonsuicidal #selfharm based on #intent and #death #desire. It brings a whole new well-being perspective to suicide #research
