@_MiguelHernan I find it very interesting that Joaquín Villalba was affiliated to the Medical School and the Veterinary School...

@Wjrgo @lisalendway Actually, that is analytical specificity (there is also analytical sensitivity), which is different from diagnostic specificity. The former deals with the capacity of a test to discriminate between analytes, the latter is proportion of true negative individuals classified as such

@taylorev_ @AcademicChatter A good dose of sleep, you need to be focused and alert. You will be awesome!

@Dagmar__Gross @katewbauer @ProfMattFox This resonates a lot with me... They both seemed to me like the two sides of a coin, but this explanation is cristal clear. Thanks

@jenspdx @thewbert You are welcome. I really like that book. In R, I would recommend spatstat package... the help document is quite thorough. https://t.co/lIrKRIcMAw

@VivianHLyons @JerzyEisenGuyot You are right, you would have to write it from scratch. I worked on g-formula for a course on methods for causal inference, but I used R and wrote the programs myself (not in the most efficient way though hehe). I am checking the SAS macro and it is quite impressive.

[Robert Valeris @robertvaleris]

@VivianHLyons @JerzyEisenGuyot Vivian, if you don’t mind my asking: why switch to SAS (or R) and not use STATA????

@EGranger90 @jamiecsergeant Congrats on your paper, specially your writing style

[Robert Valeris @robertvaleris]

@ManoliFM @bertaocana @Barb_Vera @Rakvazdob @estefaniacsor @manueljesusF Muy cierto, y por más que revises y revises siempre se escabulle alguno...

@bertaocana @Barb_Vera @Rakvazdob @estefaniacsor @ManoliFM @manueljesusF Me alegra que sea de utilidad. Saludos

@Barb_Vera @bertaocana @Rakvazdob @estefaniacsor @ManoliFM @manueljesusF La número 9 tiene un error, la forma correcta es: Juan les escribía cartas a sus primas, ya que el pronombre “les” esta vinculado a “sus primas”.
