Communication of research findings often involves reporting of many statistics; what if we could pursue additional strategies to articulate a certain perception? thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Real world data are often incomplete and prone to informative missingness. Fortunately, assumptions needed for imputation can be relaxed by adopting exclusion restriction variables. Collection of such data can be advantageous and relatively simple academic.oup.com/ije/advance-ar…

Various statistical and machine learning methods can be used to predict individualized treatment effects - this work with Orestis Efthimiou et al. will be useful in evaluating the performance of competing models. Colossal privilege to be involved! #StatisticsInMedicine

New comment is out Nature Medicine: "Implementing clinical trial data sharing requires training a new generation of biomedical researchers". Unfortunately it is under a paywall (... we will find a solution hopefully...). But here is a 🧶. nature.com/articles/s4159…

NEW paper, NEW TRIPOD reporting guideline out in The BMJ led by Thomas Debray If you’re developing/validating a prediction model and accounted for clustering (different centres, data sets), then TRIPOD-Cluster is for you -> tinyurl.com/4rcvkuee #openaccess #statstwitter

I'm very pleased to announce that Smart Data Analysis and Statistics B.V. will support SHARE-CTD as an associated partner. This Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project aims to develop teaching and training activities for sharing and re-using clinical trial data

1/ Excited to share our #openaccess work in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health where we evaluate existing algorithms and develop pragmatic, evidence-based algorithms to support evaluation for #pediatric pulmonary #tuberculosis Link: thelancet.com/journals/lanch… A summary 🧵

It was a great pleasure to meet Marco Piccininni , Jess Rohmann is on BlueSky and LinkedIn, Tobias Kurth and many others. All up to date on eels and causality !

🥁 We have just signed the grant agreement with Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 for our doctoral network "Sharing and re-using clinical trial data to maximise impact" (101120360 – SHARE-CTD) led by Universität München. We will hire 11 PhD students, starting in fall 2024. Rationale: nature.com/articles/s4159…

The MSCA @sharectd network offers 11 full time PhD projects in 6 countries for Masters in data science / biostatistics / medical informatics / medicine / clinical trials / (clinical) epidemiology. euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/139615

"How to plan and manage an individual participant data meta-analysis. An illustrative toolkit" - nice paper by Maxwell, Shreedhar, Carabali & Brooke Levis - toolkit to facilitate implementation and management of IPDMAs, from recruitment to harmonization onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jr…

We have 11 positions for PhD programs @sharectd on sharing and analysis data. Interested and have a MSc in epi, stats, data science, or related? Apply this month. share-ctd.eu/projects

Thrilled to announce that I am sponsoring and speaking at The Effective Statistician Conference 2024! Join me on Feb 15 to learn more about what to expect when outsourcing your Network Meta-Analysis. theeffectivestatistician.com/welcome-to-the…

This is a must-see on many levels. While watching it I became frightened at how things are so similar in my field of #Statistics especially related to Sabine Hossenfelder 's comment "They just wanted to write papers", plus how fad-driven is #Statistics.

Interested in developing a clinical prediction model? Check out our new paper 🥳🥳🥳 in the The BMJ where we present a step-by-step guide bmj.com/content/386/bm… Together with Matthias Egger @Geointheworld Konstantina Chalkou Thomas Debray. Special thanks to Richard Riley (R²) for his help!
