Excited to see our work on Bayesian Decision Curve Analysis appear in Statistics in Medicine! doi.org/10.1002/sim.... Work led by @giulianonetto.bsky.social - check out the stellar thread (from the old platform) on our preprint here: x.com/giulianonett...

Great primer on Federated Learning (FL) methods and their potential for enabling large collaborative data analyses in transfusion medicine. Crucial for ML-worthy sample sizes Key idea: Bring the model to the data, not the data to the model onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #MLSky

Great (and very well written - a joy to read) work by @giulianonetto.bsky.social and @keegankorthauer.bsky.social, with rigorous theory and extensive empirical analyses (and well documented software).

How dare people not Trust the Science™️. Really now. Related: metaror.org/kotahi/artic...

Stumbled on a nice quote I'll add to my lecture on why we still build decision models with limited info. #smdm "Far better an approximately answer to the right question, which is often vague, than an exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise" John Tukey 1962

Happy to see @isbt.bsky.social and @aabbupdates.bsky.social here! Looking forward to blood banking and transfusion medicine content in the feed

Bias Variance Trade-off is a tricky concept, in no small part because the terms are so loaded with differing meanings in other contexts. What made it finally click was thinking of bias as consistent error, variance as information density #ML #stats uniathenaprods3.uniathena.com/s3fs-public/...

A lot of what NIH does is fund basic research into public health that is not profitable for pharmaceutical companies to do. This is what you get with someone who does not believe in research.
