Major new version of R rms package is now on CRAN with many improvements, the most important of them being the generalization of spline functions to work in any regression model, rms or otherwise. hbiostat.org/R/rms #rstats @vandy_biostat Vanderbilt University Data Science Institute #rmscourse

On a Scale of 1-10 (10 is maximum creepy), how weird is a requirement to sign an NDA to attend a free ML/AI community meetup at the hosting company's HQ?

The 2023 edition of my long-running anti-establishment art-science-fusion code-therapy smooth-baritone causal inference & Bayesian data analysis course is complete. 20 lectures, from the basics of causal inference & Bayesian updating to mixed models & Gaussian processes. 1/2

Lecture recordings, slides, homework sets and solutions are all listed here. Take it at your own pace, as you like it. First half is a solid course in regression and causal inference. Second half turns it up to 11. github.com/rmcelreath/sta…

ChatGPT is all the rage in medicine (recently heard that people are asking it all sorts of questions related to patient care), so this is a thread of the things you need to watch out for and what can go wrong!

For those on #Twitter interested in #BioTech, #CRISPR & #GeneEditing - here’s a must lecture given by one the top leading #scientists & #innovators of our time - David R. Liu, in which he explains the #Science & the future applications of #BaseEditing & #PrimeEditing. $BEAM $PRME

📢#Medical #AI PSA📢: the MIMIC and Physionet 2019 datasets are *NOT* independent! (Half of P19 stems from M) Still, there's a growing list of #sepsis pred. papers claiming "external validation" or "transfer learning" between those two overlapping datasets.

For all the people who followed me recently because I posted some weird posterior distributions, I have made more than 20 hours of free lectures on Bayesian stats and causal inference just for you👇 x.com/rlmcelreath/st…

I am saddened to hear the news that Prof. Jeanette Erdmann (Jeanette Erdmann) passed away a few months ago. I deeply admired and respected Jeanette for her unconditional love for genetics, her great contributions to the genetics of cardiovascular disease (she was one of the

Gary Marcus Dirk Roeckmann Yann LeCun Vinod Khosla Judea Pearl Until recently, the other direction was not clear, namely, how to incorporate causal inductive biases into neural networks. I'm under the impression that this breakthrough remains largely unknown in much of neural research, and I think it's important to acknowledge this so people

I have mad respect for Karpathy. But RL agents will not find exploits in physics that give us infinite energy, or anything like that. As somebody who knows a thing or two about both AI and physics, I am quite certain of this. The so-called standard model of particle physics

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI! This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors. Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:

4) The scientific method also applies to computational results: proper controls and negating all alternative hypotheses are just as important in computational biology as in bench experiments.
