Been thinking about teaching a lot lately... Instruction (here's how to do X) scales pretty well. But full-on teaching (here's how to do X, evaluating how well student does X, diagnosing why problems are occurring and helping student address them) doesn't scale very well at all.

Development of a new algorithm for predicting cardiovascular disease using machine learning

A new article crossing my desk provides a procedure, new in SAS/STAT® 15.1, for analyzing graphical causal models. pdfs.semanticscholar.org/28e0/6aa69ed10…. I hope readers find it useful #Bookofwhy

Eye opening article on Elsevier. "Every time we pay a $3000 article processing charge, only $1800 supports the publishing process, while the remaining $1200 goes directly to Elsevier shareholders." They suggest you ask for $400/hr when Elsevier requests that you review a paper.

Failure is integral to the learning process, and most of us earn our successes by first failing in increasingly novel ways. If you're not failing then you're not learning, and if you're not learning then you're not improving.

New paper alert! "Sensitivity analysis via % of unmeasured confounding" arxiv.org/abs/1912.02793 SA is absolutely crucial for causality: holy grail is finding one that's interpretable *&* flexible Matteo Bonvini & I propose contamination model approach, w/effect bds across % confounded
