This is severely fucked. Wellness programs do little or no good but do allow employers to offer incentives for participation. This on the other hand is GATTACA level fuckery. GINA took many years to be put in place; now the proposal put fo

This is interesting -- suppose that the choke point of negotiation was handled by the government on behalf of citizens, but the administration of programs was privatized? That could be interesting. Lord knows I've had about enough red

yeah the doc-in-a-box practice is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. However the corporatization of medicine is not doing anyone any favors save for the administrators, and even then only the executives make out like bandits.

Contracts and practice plans are considerably simplified ;-)

assuming you're asking in good faith, the answer is pretty simple. A larger population has more leverage, and if all of the citizens bargain as one bloc (i.e., if the government does so on their behalf), it drives the market. Note tha

wow, that sure looks like it could be automated, starting with the indexing passes (script them in Python maybe?) and slowly factoring out bits of it into sklearn modules or whatever. Alternatively, as a batch job spawned from within R, bu

It's mentioned at the end of Part III, in chapter 17, on survival models.

Answered my own question -- Part III of this book is what I am waiting for. I was going to send the authors a note, which seems silly, but my name is in an awful lot of standard textbooks just because I sent in corrections or notes, and fo

Part II describes what you are asking for. I wish abbreviations like inverse probability weighting and marginal structural models were expanded in the second book. It's annoying to have to look up "IP weighting" only to disc

they seem to be fixated on how shiny and new L1 penalties are, in 2014. Greg Ridgway started using gradient boosting machines (GBM) for propensity scoring in the early 2000s, and I didn't see them cite him, so I kind of hate them alre

Quite possible -- Robins was pointed out to me as one of the pioneers by Sander Greenland, around 2008 or so? I'm more of an experimental/clinical statistician at this point. The work I did with propensity scoring and doubly robu

The soul of marketing is getting people to overlook stuff like the laws of physics, the arrow of time, and compound interest. Any time you find yourself resorting to the word "should," it's a good idea to ask: 1) why would t

Look up confounding by indication and some of the power/sensitivity studies for so-called doubly robust estimators. Counterfactuals are reasonable. A lot of "let's turn this observational study into a designed experiment wi

Nah, Robins started (asterisk) all this causal/propensity-scored/pretend-experimental mania. It's what drove me back to hard interventional experiments and eventually to adaptive clinical trial design. (Asterisk): ok more lik

If they have an identifiable deficiency, sure. Sickle cell is a stem cell (erythroblast more precisely) disorder, so fixing the stem cells fixes the disease. If you already have the tissues you want to change, it'll be harder.

Yes, it's old by academic standards. And do read the comments. Remember that getting something through peer review is not unlike a siege, but once within the fortress walls, a mighty army guards glamorous findings against high-profil

With dplyr & purrr, if you can't find a DSL in R that works for you, the odds are you'll need lisp or Haskell to satisfy you.

Sacha Epskamp's tutorial has a nice section on this: http://sachaepskamp.com/files/Cookbook.html Also the section on penalized Ising models is great, I haven't seen anything else like it.

Nice job Thomas! I've gotten a hell of a lot of mileage out of ggraph already, your work has been tremendous. Eventually it will be nice to dump plots to JavaScript for poking purposes, but for publication there is nothing that comes c

Cre-Lox systems predate CRISPR/Cas9 or CRISPR/Cfp1 approaches by quite some time. If one exists for the system you want to study, they also tend to work better. (floxing the original mouse is, however, substantially harder) I don&
