For anyone manipulating longitudinal data, the data.table package in #rstats is invaluable. Here is a new example, of regularizing irregularly-timed longitudinal measurements: hbiostat.org/rflow/long#sec… Vanderbilt Department of Biostatistics #Statistics #DataScience

#Statistics thought of the day from hbiostat.org/bbr/change#sec…

For researchers using the wonderful REDCap electronic data capture/research data management system, Chapter 5 of hbiostat.org/rflow has new sections on automatic interfaces between REDCap and R. #rstats

The R/Medicine 2024 call for abstracts is now open at rconsortium.github.io/RMedicine_webs… You can choose to present (virtually) - a regular talk - 20 minutes - a lightning talk - 10 minutes - a demo (cool new package) - 1 hour - a workshop - 2-3 hours, interactive code-along Take your pick!

Proud to have partnered with patients, PHA Canada and Canadian VIGOUR Centre on this important project.
