📢🚨🔥We are very excited to announce that Karissa Whiting will be our #MSKBiostats #guestcurator next week on Dec 4-8, 2023 💫Stay tuned to learn about the useful software packages our department has developed #biostatistics #CancerResearch #rstats cBioPortal Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center


Hi 👋 I’m Karissa Whiting, Research Biostatistician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and #guestcurator for the week. I hope to use this time to share info about some cool software we create & maintain at #MSKBiostats that may be useful to other researchers. First, a little about myself 👇🧵:

Let's break down an example using `clinfun::ph2simon()` (Venkat Seshan) and a set of example parameters: - 10% response rate considered unacceptable (`pu`) - 25% response considered desirable (`pa`) - Type I & type 2 errors set at 5% and 10% (`ep1`, `ep2`) #rstats #clinfun


{clinfun} also has many functions for #rstats data analysis. This example of `deltaAUC()` compares AUCs from nested models. Here we test adding weight loss (V2) to an existing risk model: Venkat Seshan Chaya Moskowitz Mithat Gönen Glenn Heller #AcademicTwitter #DataScience



{cbioportalR} (available on #cran and #GitHub) allows #rstats users direct access to🧬 genomic and clinical data from cBioPortal. Use it to easily navigate and browse the cBioPortal database structure (👇): karissawhiting.com/cbioportalR #DataAnalytics #CancerResearch #Genomics


After pulling & QAing #genomics data, the {gnomeR} package (by Hannah Fuchs, Arshi Arora, Axel Martin, Karissa Whiting, Mike Curry and more) helps #rstats analysts process it into an analysis-ready format. Docs: mskcc-epi-bio.github.io/gnomeR/index.h… #rstats examples below 👇🧵
