Stats and R

🌍 EM-DAT, the world's most trusted global disaster database, hosted by @CREDUCL, risks shutting down after losing USAID funding. I've written a short post explaining why it matters and how you can help by signing the open letter👇 statsandr.com/blog/em-dat-th… #OpenData #DisasterRisk

Neural networks that know what they don't know? 🤔 New post with Joshua Marie: we fit Bayesian Neural Networks in R using {kindling} + {tidymodels} — getting uncertainty estimates out of a familiar workflow. 👉 statsandr.com/blog/bayesian-… #rstats #tidymodels #MachineLearning

🚀 New blog post live! Together with Joshua Marie we show how to do more with neural networks in R using {kindling} (built on {torch}), with a clean workflow for training & tuning models 👇 statsandr.com/blog/you-can-d… #rstats #deeplearning #tidymodels #torchr

Thanks to @NikoSpeybroeck and Hieu Cong Truong for including me in this research project, and to all co-authors for the excellent work behind this study.

Matched case-control study in southern Vietnam showing real-world effectiveness of PCV10/13 against IPD in children <5. Strong protection despite low coverage. Serotype 19A predominance & waning immunity have policy implications.

📢 An article I contributed to is now published in Vaccine: “Effectiveness of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines against invasive pneumococcal disease in Vietnamese children prior to national introduction: A matched case-control study” 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.vacc… #PublicHealth

🆕 New guest post on the blog! Discover nycOpenData, an R package that provides tidy, reproducible access to NYC Open Data APIs — perfect for teaching, research, and civic data analysis. 🔗 statsandr.com/blog/nycopenda… #RStats #OpenData #DataScience #ReproducibleResearch #CivicTech

📢 Our paper "AssociationExplorer: A user-friendly Shiny application for exploring associations and visual patterns" is now published in @SoftXJournal! An open-source #RShiny app to explore associations in multivariate data. Thanks to all co-authors! 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.soft…

🚨 New guest post on the blog! My colleague & friend @OswaldoGressani presents a new nonparametric approach for estimating the serial interval of infectious diseases, implemented in the R package EpiDelays 📊 statsandr.com/blog/nonparame…

📢 Excited to share that our paper « Semi-Markov modeling for disease incidence risk and duration » has been accepted for publication in @BiostatsEpidem! 🔗 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #Biostatistics #CancerEpidemiology #RightToBeForgotten

📰 Happy to announce that our paper entitled "Right to be forgotten for mortgage insurance issued to cancer survivors: critical assessment and new proposal" has been accepted for publication in European Actuarial Journal. Read more at dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13385…

@AchimZeileis Thanks for this evaluation! Can we expect your probabilistic forecasts for the next matches? ⚽️

⚽ Something light for Friday afternoon: An evaluation of our probabilistic forecasts after the group stage of #EURO2024 zeileis.org/news/euro2024g…

📝 New post: learn when and how to perform a binary logistic regression in R, and more importantly, how to interpret and visualize results #rstats #rstatstweet statsandr.com/blog/binary-lo…

@BenoitRosa_ Thanks for this useful resource!

@LoganAmado97040 Hello, could I please also receive your template ? Thanks in advance!

@Kyle_Ireton @matloff Thanks for your reply!

@Kyle_Ireton @matloff What if you want to stay in academia?

📝 New post: Through a trivial question such as “What is the probability that two persons have the same initials?”, learn how to use simulations, replications and for loops in R to answer many probability questions #rstats #rstatstweet statsandr.com/blog/what-is-t…

📝 New post: Learn how to use the {dplyr} package in R. This package helps you to solve the most common data manipulation challenges such as filtering, summarizing or sorting observations. #rstats #rstatstweet #DataScience statsandr.com/blog/introduct…
