Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia + bright light therapy reduces insomnia & fatigue symptoms during #chemotherapy for #breastcancer. Abstract has details: doi.org/10.1093/sleep/… Wonderful to have included ~25% women with #metastaticbreastcancer an often excluded group.

@JBMRPlus @wileyinresearch No worries, thanks for the response :)

Apologies Dr. Wiley! We usually get it right with @wileyinresearch but missed it this time - we'll make sure to watch out, and thanks!

@usansomdaly @JulieMcCrossin @CEwakefield @UNSWMedicine @COSA_Surviv @bogda_koczwara @COSAoncology @CanteenAus @Rigshospitalet @jefardell @JordanaMcloone @POCOG1 This was a really inspiring talk. Such a lovely initiative and clearly very well received. Humane approach indeed.

“We need to talk about the elephant in the room” Kids/teens need their friends close by& that’s still true when they have #cancer. Fab talk by Hanne Bækgård Larsen💪🏻on the power of bringing friends INTO the hospital. With props from @JulieMcCrossin on the humane approach!#Surv23

@hagsie @UsydPsych @janette_vardy @jefardell @COSA_Surviv I enjoyed this talk and the qualitative information about barriers and facilitators. There is no way I would have been able to do that work and stand in front of an audience like that as an honours student, big congratulations to Janessa :)

@Nat_Sleep @hagsie summarised from meta-analyses, so a mix of outcomes, but I'd say fast majority are self-report sleep measures (e.g., PSQI, etc.)

@hagsie For what outcome though?

What is the evidence for different #sleep interventions in cancer? #Surv23

@drcarolynee @drcarolynee I did not get to meet you, but I'd be happy to meet and discuss with you if you are interested in brainstorming how we might help your patients' sleep better.

@WileyResearch provides us with the solutions for poor sleep in survivorship! Such a common problem - almost 90% of my patients do not sleep well. #Surv23

New preprint: psyarxiv.com/xk4yu Good commentary. Email exchange at end deeply problematic if accurate. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… shows there are many more people of color (POC) authoring papers than socities choose POC to be editors in chief. @PsychScience

@smartin2018 That was probably my favorite experience too. I felt like there was lots to learn and a nice environment to share. Could format and embed graphs, etc. I want a purely social stack overflow w/ syntax highlighting built in.

No joke though, I actually liked Google+, despite it being super unintuitive at first. It was nothing but Bayesian stats and Linux on my feed. @WileyResearch may remember those days.

Man, Google+ really missed the optimal release time. By many years.

xkcd.com/2347/. CRAN sent out an email to ~3,500 #Rstats package authors that one package has not been fixed & is scheduled for archival in 2 weeks. Then, packages that depend on it run into issues (incl #ggplot2 and thus much modern R graphics digital infrastructure).

@IsabellaGhement @mattansb @bmwiernik @camjpatrick @wdonald_1985 @dggoldst @VincentAB This discussed here: github.com/JWiley/brmsmar… `marginaleffects` has more features & nicer interface; unless what you want/need is pop. avg. predictions / marg eff from models w/ REs & nonlinear links --- then few options. Vince has comparison: vincentarelbundock.github.io/marginaleffect…

@mattansb @bmwiernik @camjpatrick @wdonald_1985 @dggoldst @VincentAB Yes, Vincent is the best! We all love him on here. But @WileyResearch deserves our love too for brmsmargins. 🥰 I am currently trying to understand how brmsmargins works: #issuecomment-1236055668" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/JWiley/brmsmar… It is my understanding that marginaleffects can only do effects = "includeRE"?

Are there readings or decision trees to help students learn how to choose a mixed-effects (random effects) model specification? There's much written on syntax, less on the principles. Something with examples of both (and newer than Gelman & Hill) would be great!

@arthur_alb1 @vascobrazao @bmwiernik @wgervais @noah_greifer @adamjnafa @mjskay Well fair enough, but in that case definitely don't use `brmsmargins` :) Its all built to ignore the specific RE estimates and instead take the (co)variance matrix estimates from REs & sample from that for numerical integration

@WileyResearch @vascobrazao @bmwiernik @wgervais @noah_greifer @adamjnafa @mjskay Thanks! Vasco wanted to keep as RE to adjust for multiplicity issues

@arthur_alb1 @vascobrazao @bmwiernik @wgervais @noah_greifer @adamjnafa @mjskay brmsmargins is intended to integrate out the RE, your contrasts appear to be between levels of the RE. Arguably if that is the interest, I wonder if better off making those FEs?

@vascobrazao @bmwiernik @wgervais @noah_greifer @adamjnafa @WileyResearch @mjskay I compared results from emmeans, marginaleffects and brms: all matched. I tried to use brmsmargins, but could not figure how to compute the ATE from your model…Maybe @WileyResearch could chip in if it makes sense to use brmsmargins’ methods in this case gist.github.com/arthur-albuque…

@klmr @brshallo cool, had not heard, but I like what I see

@WileyResearch @brshallo (There are several other packages that implement (part of) the same functionality, including the package ‘import’ that’s mentioned in the article. But in my — obviously quite biased — opinion, ‘box’ does it better than the others.)

Interesting post on #rstats names paces and why there is no importFrom function in base R: unconj.ca/blog/why-there…

@SolomonKurz @VincentAB @arthur_alb1 @noah_greifer @MarkAnnuncio @statsepi If you're not into the econometrics, there's equally opaque epidemiology literature on causality and g computation :D

@VincentAB @arthur_alb1 @noah_greifer @MarkAnnuncio @statsepi Okay, thanks for the direction. To be honest, this is really disheartening. Realistically, there’s like no chance I’m reading through econometrics books. Further, if the methods from the medical statisticians rely on econometrics, there’s no chance I’ll be adopting those, either.

Finally had the time to study Robinson & Jewell (1991; doi.org/10.2307/1403444). Though adding a covariate in logistic regression tends to increase the standard error for the treatment effect, it also tends to positively bias the coefficient for the treatment effect. 1/2
