While misinformation and disinformation spreads faster on #SocialMedia, the technology has been helpful in monitoring trends in the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic, thereby guiding decisions towards economic recovery when triangulated with other datasets.

Vaccines save lives.

@WHONigeria team in action, supporting @Fmohnigeria to vaccinate 106 million children against measles, rubella, and polio.

Working with countries, we are delivering #HopefulFutures for all our children.

Understanding the difference between correlation and regression is crucial in data analysis. While both concepts explore relationships between variables, they serve different purposes and are often misunderstood.

✔️ Correlation measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables, providing insight into how changes in one variable might be associated with changes in another. It's a quick way to assess relationships before diving deeper.

✔️ Regression goes a step further by modeling the relationship, allowing you to predict one variable based on another. However, it's important to note that in a simple (one predictor) regression, the fully standardized beta is equal to the correlation coefficient. Both correlation and regression measure associations, not causation.

❌ Confusing correlation with regression can lead to inaccurate conclusions, like mistaking association for causation. This error can mislead your data-driven decisions and compromise the validity of your analysis. Remember, predicting one variable based on another indicates a relationship but does not imply causation unless the study design explicitly supports it.

❌ Relying solely on correlation without understanding its limitations can result in overlooking more complex relationships that only regression analysis can uncover.

In the visualization provided, we see a scatter plot showing the relationship between horsepower (HP) and miles per gallon (MPG) in the mtcars data set. The blue dots represent the correlation between HP and MPG, showing how the two variables move together. The orange dashed line is the regression line, predicting MPG based on HP.

🔹 In R: Use ggplot2 for creating rich visualizations like the one shown. The geom_point function plots the data points, while geom_smooth(method = "lm") adds the regression line.

🔹 In Python: The seaborn library provides similar functionality. Use sns.scatterplot() for the scatter plot and sns.regplot() for the regression line.

If you want to learn more about how to use these methods in practice, check out my online course on Statistical Methods in R. It covers this topic in detail, along with many others!

Abuja, Aug 11, 2023.

Joint monthly meeting of WHO-BMGF to review the journey to zero cVDPV2 in Nigeria. Technical discussions on identified strategies to zero cVDPV2:
1⃣ Expanding access to insecure areas
2⃣ Improving routine immunization
3⃣ Starting in-between round activities

Each time I see any of the series of #FastAndFurious, I take my mind off the film trick and focus on the message of "la familia" - hold us in your heart, and you'll never lose your way. The problem of having a big family is that you can't protect 'em all! RIP Paul W. #FastX

In those 10 days I learnt to be assertive - they're experts in their various specialisations in Public Health. They told me that my engagement in the meetings helped them to learn a new word "Co-Creation" - Human-Centered innovative approach to generate demand for health services

In the last 10 I have been in a series of meetings with these distinguished professors selected from reputable universities in Nigeria as the governing body for the polio eradication programme in Nigeria - their work feeds into the @WHOAFRO ARCC on polio.
