**NEW OPEN-ACCESS PAPER** “A decomposition of Fisher’s information to inform sample size for developing or updating fair and precise clinical prediction models for individual risk—part 1: binary outcomes" - published in Diagnostic & Prognostic Research - implemented in pmstabilityss 1/n

**New Lancet DH paper** "Importance of sample size on the quality & utility of AI-based prediction models for healthcare" - for broad audience - explains why inadequate SS harms #AI model training, evaluation & performance - pushback to claims SS irrelevant to AI research 👇 tinyurl.com/yrje52fn

up next is Rebecca Whittle talking on sample size calculations for developing prediction models with a continuous outcome #memtab

next up is @joieensor.bsky.social talking about his work on software implementation for sample size calculations for targeting precise risk predictions - code available to do this available here github.com/JoieEnsor/pm... #memtab

**NEW BMJ PAPER** "Uncertainty of risk estimates from clinical prediction models: rationale, challenges, and approaches" - most models provide just a risk estimate - we argue for presenting associated uncertainty too - includes pros, cons, PPIE & methods Hope helpful! www.bmj.com/content/388/...
