🚨 Anthropic's own team just showed how to actually use Claude Code properly. 30 minutes. free. the person who created Claude Code. watch the workshop. bookmark it. worth more than every $500 course you almost bought. you've been using Claude without knowing 40 of its commands. Then read the guide below.

Statisticians are trained in how to compute statistics, but not why to compute statistics. At least 10% of their training should be in philosophy of statistics. They should also spend 10 credits on their own empirical research project to understand how data is acually collected.

Ces deux jeunes burundais passionnés de statistiques sont membres de l’Association des Professionnels de la Statistique du Burundi (APROSTAB), de la Young African Statisticians Association (YASA). Ces jeunes statisticiens sont tous, bénéficiaires du programme TAKWIMU, initié par le Centre Africain de la Statistique. 📍💬 « Lors de ce congrès organisé par l’Institut International de la Statistique (ISI), nous avons eu l’occasion de présenter une étude de recherche en cours intitulée « Rendre les données compréhensibles : cartographie des jeunes statisticiens en Afrique et de leur rôle ». Ce projet est mené en collaboration avec la Young African Statisticians Association », Axel KEZA. 🔹Actuellement, Lyne Nziza est une consultante en Analyse de Données pour le Développement, avec plus de dix ans d’expérience dans la contribution des projets de recherche dans la région des Grands Lacs. 🔹De son côté, Axel Keza est encore étudiant en dernière année de master en Biostatistique à l’Université d’Abomey-Calavi au Bénin. Il a également été Secrétaire Général et Président du Club Statistique de l’Université du Lac Tanganyika (ULT), en 2019 et 2020. 🔹Signalons que le programme Takwimu a été lancé en 2021 par la Commission économique pour l'Afrique (CEA). Son objectif est de former et autonomiser la prochaine génération de statisticiens africains pour moderniser les systèmes des statistiques sur le continent et accélérer le développement économique, en promouvant la recherche, l'innovation et l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies de données. #lesbeautesdecheznous #akezanet #65ᵉCongrèsmondialdelastatistique #Burundi

@AndersHuitfeldt There’s a nice cochrane data R package now I think that would simplify some large empirical work. I think finding switch risk better predicts subsequent studies + shows meaningful changes in summaries for decision making would be compelling.
