1) A covariate that is predictive of outcome should be in the model even if unpredictive of assignment (eg matched pairs design).
2) A covariate that is not predictive of outcome should not be in the model, even if predictive of assignment.
3) The propensity score is stupid.
This is great but unclear on how you did the confidence intervals? Maybe the interquartile range would be interesting?
Our new paper led by Yembe W. Njamnshi, MD while a GBHI Fellow @ UCSF. Using TabCAT assessment in Longitudinal Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) focusing on 3 different levels: convergent, diagnostic, & neuroanatomical validity:

I have the same view, a little bit down the hill from @itsflanoy.bsky.social. Great video.
He is **not** a statistician- degree is in operations research from Cornell. Very different.
Yeesh
Whoa but I have thoughts…
Competition is extremely intense among top AI companies to achieve computing breakthroughs that might indicate the eternally imminent arrival of AGI, so a post like this from such a high-ranking executive caught the industry’s attention.

🔎 Meta-analysis and triangulation depend on credible science.
📈 TIME-AD’s latest paper, led by Dr. Sarah Ackley, examines 20,000+ abstracts using an LLM to determine whether P value trends reflect changes in p-hacking, publication bias, or statistical power.

Ugh - who taught this person statist?
Binge - I never sleep on planes - hope all is well
haha thank you @rlgrant.bsky.social. It's ok though...memes should be free!
So true
Love this idea.
Not a biostatistician either - degree from Cornell was not in Statistics or Biostats- he’s just a pretender.
If you are in TimesSquare - see the billboard highlighting two of our UCSF Global Brain Health Fellows -amazing Elijah Rock sings songs you know by heart - and the artwork is by Kiggundu Rawdney. Have a listen. Funded in part by the Alzheimer’s Association.
WHO DID THIS?!? So amazing.
Maybe ChatGPT is just prescient and is predicting books these authors will write?

Feels like some more people around here might want to see this and share your feedback. I'm sure the folks at Heritage Foundation would appreciate your honest opinions.
No take, only throw meme. First panel says "please analyse these data". Middle says "no thinking". Final panel "only analysing!"
Why else would universities be replacing all their epidemiologists with 'digital health scientists'?!
