Hi bluesky 👋
Hope there's some biostats people here, all the R people are also on mastodon but biostats wise it's been a bit lonely since leaving twitter

Should statistical software that estimates causal effects also tell you the causal assumptions under which that estimate can be interpreted as causal?
I don't know but my PhD student Maurice Korf has some thoughts (and software) to get the conversation going:

Causal clarity in statistical software
Imagine running a simple regression in any statistical software of choice—but this time, you only get a point estimate of the regression coefficient. There

The distinction between causal, predictive, and descriptive research—there is still room for improvement
It has been proposed that medical research questions can be categorised into three
classes: causal, predictive, and descriptive. This distinction was proposed to encourage
researchers to think clearly...

Our paper "A Comparison of Statistical Methods for Time-To-Event Analyses in Randomized Controlled Trials Under Non-Proportional Hazards" got published today 🎉
We describe commonly used methods, and compare their performance in a simulation study across different scenarios.

A Comparison of Statistical Methods for Time‐To‐Event Analyses in Randomized Controlled Trials Under Non‐Proportional Hazards
While well-established methods for time-to-event data are available when the proportional hazards assumption holds, there is no consensus on the best inferential approach under non-proportional hazar...

An LLM "creates textual claims, and then predicts the citations that might be associated with similar text. Obviously, this practice violates all norms of scholarly citation.
At best, LLMs gesticulate toward the shoulders of giants."

I have the greatest respect for graphics in scientific papers before computer graphics and even pen plotters were a common thing. Just beautiful 😍
