Essential tools to do data science/prediction/simulation modeling in Python: * marimo notebooks (pip install marimo; marimo edit --sandbox ___.py) * ibis ("ibis-framework[duckdb]" to install it) * sklearn (with major emphasis on make_pipeline) * HSMA-style simpy (des.hsma.co.uk) + vidigi

I’m seeing a ton of disinformation from the right wing about California’s new law requiring folic acid fortification for corn masa flour, so here are some facts (US only). 1. By law, wheat flour has been fortified with folic acid since 1998 to prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida.

The problem with virtual care was never the tools. It was the lack of shared rules for presence once proximity changed. Im calling that missing foundation the Presence Layer. #Informatics

"Crypto-Standard Science" explains a lot of what is happening right now. FDA requiring 1 clinical trial instead of 2 for drug approval? Crypto-Standard Science FDA proposing "impossible" standards for vaccine testing? CSS FDA holding closed-door meetings with Russell Brand? CSS

Personal view: “Scientists no longer have to mouth DEI shibboleths to garner funding” is an interesting way of saying that the NIH does not plan to address health disparities and the health of minorities. thespectator.com/topic/cured-...

Nice paper Ben but it's hard to justify use of AUROC except when there is only one candidate model. AUROC should not be used to judge improvements in predictive discrimination. The width of a well-calibrated risk distribution is far better for that. #StatsSky #Statistics fharrell.com/post/addvalue

Our guidance regarding performance measures for medical AI models is finally out! - Stop bashing AUROC, although it does not settle things - Calibration and clinical utility are key - Show risk distributions - Classification statistics (e.g. F1) are improper www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The authors of a new editorial write that #AI scribes for clinical practice show early promise for improved productivity and lay out the conditions under which these tools may substantially improve productivity in the future. Read the full editorial: nejm.ai/48aLhvx @kdpsingh.bsky.social

The Lesser-Known StreisAInd Effect Statistician: AI gets too much hype. I’m going to fix that. ML researcher: How? Stats: I’m going to give a talk about AI hype… ML: … Stats: and then do a press release about it… ML: To hype it up? Stats: Yes.

Machine learning has developed remarkable new ideas about how to develop prediction algorithms. But always baffled me why the field had to reinvent how to evaluate models. Here we show F score should not be used to evaluate medical prediction models link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186...

Really enjoyed the fantastic session we had yesterday on applications of AI in hematology at #ASH25 with @wondermixtape.bsky.social, Sanam Loghavi, and @kdpsingh.bsky.social!

Looking forward to our joint session Advancing Hematology Through Artificial Intelligence today at 4pm Hyatt Regency Ballroom S #ASH25 w/ Vijay Sankaran Sanam Loghavi & @kdpsingh.bsky.social on how #AI is will impact hematology across discovery science, diagnostics, & clinical care

@kdpsingh.bsky.social had an editorial that also discusses these findings. Important studies on Ambient AI for clinicians. #MedSky

We finally have randomized, controlled clinical trial results from ambient AI scribes. But what do these RCTs actually tell us? Look at the below chart. Time savings are often low, but doctors give the technology rave reviews, esp in anecdotes that people tend to believe more than data 👀 🧵 🖥️🩺

Can doctors save time and stress with #AI scribes who listen to interactions with patients and create medical notes? After many non-randomized studies without control groups, there are now results from two randomized control trials:

Excellent study by team @kdpsingh.bsky.social. Using statistical models, streamlined versions of surgical supply lists can reduce hospital waste and improve operational efficiency. An inspiring use of data to reduce waste without compromising care! Way to go! health.ucsd.edu/news/press-r...

Linear in the log scale anyway. You backtransform them and the whole place falls apart

Most log cabins are actually linear cabins.

Was going through my video archives looking for something and laughed at this, thought I'd let Bluesky enjoy #RStats #rayshader

"Do AI scribes actually help?" Figure 1:

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says: “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.
