We're also involving patients in developing elicitation methods to determine a target difference for trials and then, eventually, in sample size discussions... Is that the type of stats methods you are looking for? What is too applied?

Beatriz Goulão @beatrizgoulao.bsky.social · 18d

I think @suziecro.bsky.social has done PPI in pure stats methods as part of her estimand work. I have a PhD student that has co-developed a Bayesian elicitation method for PPI but I think that might too applied for what you are looking for? Agree w @pwgtennant.bsky.social, definition is crucial

Suzie Cro @suziecro.bsky.social · Sep 1

Are estimands being correctly used?
A new review of protocols led by Timothy Clark shows many incorrectly defined estimand attributes. See the top areas for improvement & full results here:

The NHS & Social Care are struggling.

Behind the scenes, researchers are working on practical ways to make care better.

From ambulance handovers to teen mental health, I've written about the quiet research funded by @nihr.bsky.social HSDR.

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Screenshot of the linked Quarto website, with input checkboxes to change different conditions for a regression model that predicts economic performance based on US political party, with a reported p-value

Ensuring a trial has an independent data monitoring committee (DMC) is crucial to the safety and oversight of clinical trials. But a question this week was whether there is ever a scenario where a DMC might legitimately be deemed not to be essential 1/8
