student used some AI-assisted code to compute ROC stats with weights and the AI hallucinated pROC::roc(…, weights = weights). (the function doesn’t have a weights argument.) and because the function has a … argument, the fake weights argument was ignored without any warning

This year we particularly welcome contributions at the intersection between theoretical ecology / biodiversity modelling and evolutionary or mechanistic approaches.

For colleagues just following me now: #quantitative #ecologist here, doing #stats and #theory, big fan of #bioticinteractions and #demography questions. I often comment on stats issues, scientific edition, finding old refs, and fun natural history. More active on Mastodon 🦣 (same handle) until then.
