@dlmillimet @TayaCollyer @SolomonKurz Yep. You need the normality assumption for testing and other acts of statistical inference, but not for any of the other properties mentioned above. These follow from linearity of expectation, independence and homoscedasticity (constant residual variance).

@JoshFrydenberg Bollocks!

@gdisney_melb Perhaps conservative politicians and fans of neoliberalism admire Beethoven's ability to listen to others, especially later in his life?

[Norman Swan @normanswan]

A must view video. It is not overstated.

@gdisney_melb What did you order? Was it easier with both of you on the call?

[Prof Brendan Crabb @CrabbBrendan]

Please stop. It's dangerous to imply that it may be a good thing to allow SARS-Cov-2 of any sort to circulate. It’s an unpredictable, still evolving new virus. One that we can prevent with equitable access to vaccines & public health measures. Let's do the heavy lifting required.

Looking forward to Daniel Craig in #NoTimeToDie next month in Australia. Today I appeared as @007 James Bond when lecturing online for the last Survival Analysis and Categorical Data classes this semester @unimelbMSPGH @UniMelb #SharpSuitedStatistician

A ridiculous headline from @abcnews since QLD and WA don’t have COVID-19! NSW, VIC and, of course, Scotty from Marketing are the ones who should be explaining what it means to "live with COVID-19" – they honestly have no idea. https://t.co/JxwFStuhXp

@gdisney_melb Yeah mate, the epi profs will be claiming Melbourne is the epicentre!!

[Lyle Gurrin @LyleGurrin]

@bwmol @callapilla @danutakozaki @VicGovDH So @bwmol that's 212 children out of about 1.5 million aged 0-19 yrs in Vic (1 in 7,000) active cases COVID-19 but if ICU rate same as Sweden (1 in 130,000) only about 10 children admitted to ICU?

@samvilkins 65/76 so @jillesheppard remains the "clubhouse leader". I can get to 70 but I only counted people if I could also tell you what they do or did.

@JessKasza @austrim_cre * Robert Mahar = @robertkmahar

Doxycycline is 20% more efficacious than azithromycin for the treatment of rectal chlamydia. Check out the results of our RCT published today in @NEJM.

@gdisney_melb @AmyRemeikis Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of "The Fast and the Furious" which I watched...err...a couple of weeks ago! I will watch installments 2 - 9 but, like the Fed Govt's vaccine rollout, have not set a timeframe. 😀

[Lyle Gurrin @LyleGurrin]

@StatBallet @jon_y_huang @BHarrap @tslumley @visnut @AdanZBecerra1 @aidybarnett @statsepi @MaartenvSmeden Yep, count me in! I’ll be interested to see if two or more participants in your study actually agreed on aspects of their interpretation of regression coefficients…

[Michael P.H. Stumpf @theosysbio]

I’m delighted to have been entrusted the directorship of @MelbIntGen taking over from @djbalding. I’m very much looking forward to working with and for MIG’s wonderful maths/stats/biomedical research community, and with our many partners at @UniMelb @SciMelb & beyond.
