Really excited to finally share that I'll be starting my @e3dtp PhD in September with @amybpedersen up in Edinburgh, where I'll be working on the ecology of infection and immunity in wild mice and get more opportunities to work on all things parasite-y!

@arthur_spirling They still come and get you for their pound of flesh after you emigrate too, if you have any plans of ever returning to the UK

[Castellers de Sarrià @CdSarria]

De tot el que ens dona Sarrià, EN VOLEM MÉS!

[Sam Hillman @SamHillman]

@PidginPosting Agreed

@instrumenthull @seanluomdphd @anonymoostafa Isn't one of the points here we can't rely on law of large numbers? In some phase II oncology trials we might be looking at tens to low hundreds of patients. In these scenarios this matters

[Patrick Schwab @schwabpa]

A model trained with a frequentist objective using i.i.d. observational train and validation data is almost surely converging to the non-causal model of the underlying data generating process.

That is because using short cuts/spurious correlations leads to a lower loss than not, i.e. you are actually specifically incentivizing your model not to be causal.

"Emergence" believers' core fallacy is the assumption the causal model would have the lowest error, and therefore better optimization would eventually converge to the causal model.

The opposite is true - the best scoring model (per frequentist objective) is actually the one that is best at exploiting spurious correlations.

Latest paper from my previous role. Great team to work with.

[Sid Yadav MD, FACP @SidYadavMD]

Despite clear guidelines, germline genetic testing remains underutilized in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

In our new study published in JCO Precision Oncology, we evaluated >15,000 patients with metastatic breast cancer and found that fewer than half received germline BRCA1/2 testing.

This represents a missed opportunity—not just for personalized treatment, but also for cancer prevention in families.

How can we close this gap?

@anileh2 @AlexJDeighton 7.3%

[Sam Hillman @SamHillman]

@TJCoats @AlexJDeighton I keep hearing that but it still really doesn't feel great to be paying an additional 9% tax of my post-tax earnings (I'm overseas) and not making a dent in the interest for the next 25 years compared to those who went to university a few years before I did.

[Triad sou. @triadsou]

I am excited to share our new article published in BJS. In this study, we proposed a modified IPCW estimator for Kendall's rank correlation coefficient for survival and ordinal outcomes. https://t.co/599HYTQRah

[Sam Hillman @SamHillman]

@sib313 @premnsikka Paying 9% of my post-tax income (because I moved abroad for a job) is seriously damaging. Everyone seems fine calling it a graduate tax when they don't have to pay it, but I'm stuck paying a shed load of money for the next 28 years and it's getting a bit annoying

For the new kids in back: If you hate statistics, you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. https://t.co/GnOYGex9Yg
