A major update to the CONSORT reporting guidance for clinical trials was published last week. 📌 CONSORT 2025 replaces all previous versions and should be used from now on. So what’s new and what’s different? 1/7 #MethodologyMonday #116 (COI - I am a co-author)

#ICLR2025 @MarineLeMorvan presents "Imputation for prediction: beware of diminishing returns": poster Thu 24th Concludes 6 years of research on prediction with missing values: Imputation is useful but improvements are expensive, while better learners yield easier gains.

What a great day yesterday! 🎉 Dr. Shan Gao and Dr. Elena Albu @sibipx successfully defended their PhDs on the dynamic prediction of CLABSI using EHR data. A huge milestone after four years of dedicated research!

Why do we do external validation of prediction models? Why do we assess calibration? What should we do if a model is miscalibrated? Should we be doing "local recalibration" so that models work for our patients? link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186/s…

@BenVanCalster It should be the only research funded until everyone else sorts out their act.

Imagine getting your stats grant pulled fro investigating bias in estimators or the discrimination of a prediction models.

Per @darbysaxbe, from a program officer at the National Science Foundation, federal grants can now be pulled for containing any of these keywords. Absurd and dangerous

Interesting to find that the industry does more interim analysis. I feel like the industry is more motivated + able to stop trials and reallocate resources than academia, where the early ending of a grant could lead to difficulties with funding fixed-term contracts.

Dr Kareem Carr@kareem_carr·
still can't get over the fact that people in tech say inference when they mean prediction. we already have a word for prediction. it's called prediction.

Dropping a new @Stata guide where we learn how to fine tune #graphs for academic #publishing. Here we talk about using a very small space for graphs & fine tuning it w label sizes, line colors & widths, legend placement, use of decimals, axis scaling etc. medium.com/the-stata-guid…

Simulation studies just got more complicated than x <- rnorm(100).

.@Microsoft just dropped TinyTroupe! Described as "an experimental Python library that allows the simulation of people with specific personalities, interests, and goals." These agents can listen, reply back, and go about their lives in simulated TinyWorld environments.

Evidence that waitlist control trials lead to biased effect estimates in psychotherapy trials for depression. Caution needed as findings show substantial heterogeneity and the wait list control trials differ from other trials on key characteristics.
