Those damn outliers We talk about them a lot, but are they really that harmful? Let's explore them visually 👇

Our paper debunking the 2020 cancer microbiome results is now published, in mBio. We'll see if @nature (or the authors) will retract these deeply flawed results. h/t Professor Booty PhD Eric Topol journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

(thread) Old joke about a new VC shared on our committee list: On his first day in office, he finds a letter on his desk from his predecessor and three numbered envelopes. The letter says, 'You will encounter crises in this job. When they arrive, open these letters in turn'

I've been writing R code daily for >15 years and just today learned of strrep (base #Rstats)

Delighted to announce that in a recent visit to China we have developed a postgraduate training partnership with the Xianghu Lab in Hangzhou where we will share approaches in science to address food security and environmental change School of Biological Sciences

#rstats PSA: Reminder to all R users on Ubuntu that you can quickly and easily install CRAN binaries with the amazing #r2u from Dirk Eddelbuettel. I just had to setup a new Ubuntu 22.04 machine, and it was as easy as sudo bash add_cranapt_jammy.sh github.com/eddelbuettel/r…

Statisticians chuckle, but I've seen doctors gleefully log(1+y) and then fit lines through that log-swamp garbage and then get published in The Lancet so who's laughing now Seriously log(1+y) bad - model the data generating process. An area where ecologists do well actually!

"Don’t be steamrollered by clinicians" Working life for some medical statisticians can feel like playing second fiddle, according to our latest free-to-read article: ow.ly/1ql250S6Mgz #statistics #freetoread

The pace of innovation in data science is astounding (and I'm not talking about AI!) 2 years ago, I wrote in my book about analyzing a 92 million row IPUMS CSV file using a database in #rstats Now: just point `arrow::open_dataset()` at it and ` collect()` what you need!

In Quarto, use these options to fold long code blocks with a custom message: #| code-fold: true #| code-summary: "Your message here" This is particularly useful for code-based blog posts. See an example here: walker-data.com/posts/shiny-ge… #rstats

One of my favorite recent papers is Kane (2024). While pitched (effectively and usefully) as a paper about compelling null results, many of the action items are ways to boost power. IMO, it provides a great checklist to make sure you're maximizing power. CC: John V. Kane
