@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization
The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.
#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.
I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.
The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.
So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence

@inbo is #hiring a #statistician or #datascientist to develop monitoring schemes for #InvasiveAlienSpecies. More details in Dutch at https://www.vlaanderen.be/werken-voor-vlaanderen/vacatures/statisticus-data-scientist-monitoring-invasieve-uitheemse-soorten-605e6e #rstats
What a great story! Big props to the teachers, family and community around this budding #statistician for creating a supportive environment for her exploration and flourishing.

With the usual #statistician’s caveat that #causality is really hard to sort out in data like this even with good #controls … yes, I believe this. And the #mechanisms aren’t hard to find, either. 
The usual disclaimer: this is promising, but don’t count on great results.
If it works as advertised—if—it could be what #Theranos promised and so spectacularly failed to deliver. #Grail is using well-understood technology and (I think) large enough samples to make the claims for the #Galleri test believable, at least. And the #NHS (again, I think) doesn’t have the kind of incestuous relationships with financially interested parties that helped #Holmes et al. get away with such fraud for so long. So I’m inclined to trust their reporting.
With that said, the usual #statistician’s disclaimer applies: #multiple #testing is hard. So, for that matter, does the #medic’s and the #biologist’s, because there are multiple kinds of multiple testing going on here. The more you test, the more you will screw up.
I almost appended “it’s like a law of nature” to that last sentence above … but no, it is a law of nature. Unreasonable effectiveness of #mathematics something something.
#Cancer screening is important, and steady improvements in the field have already saved untold numbers of lives. I expect this will continue to be the case. So take this with cautious optimism. Pushing back the boundaries a little bit at a time, each small step representing another decade or year or month of life—it’s what we do, every day. I want to believe.
random walk, n., the route through an open plan office taken by a #statistician whilst waiting for their #MCMC chains to converge (hopefully). Expected length of route may depend on factors such as hardware specifications, informativeness of #priors, and whether there's a good coffee machine nearby. #statsodon #Bayesian #iamworking @pymc

My introduction and a shout out to find other folks to get to know. Technically I’m a #DataScientist and #statistician. Most of my career I’ve done marketing analytics. In my spare time I #DungeonMaster, read sci-fi and fantasy. I’m new to #weightlifting, but find it fun and rewarding. I’m a fan of:
#DungeonsAndDragons
#DnD
#TTRPG
#WorldBuilding
#DnDBeyond
#FoundryVTT
#Cats and #Dogs
#SciFi

I'm a #graduate student at #CurtinUniversity. My thesis is on developing analytical techniques, perhaps #Bayesian, for identifying and classifying variable and transient astronomical sources, namely #BlackHoles and #NeutronStars, in large galactic surveys.
I'd say I'm more #statistician than #astronomer, with a dash of #ComputerScience too.
I'm a huge #rstats fan but now leaning into #python for my current research. I'm also something of a conference committee addict.
Hi, it's time for an #introduction. I am a #statistician who helps run a survey for the US government. I am a Conservative #Jew, a progressive, and a parent of kids under 5. I am #asexual and happily married. I #knit and spin yarn in my free time.
I've been in the fediverse since 2017 already, however with the recent growth in users and the switch to my own instance, I figured it is time for an #introduction.
I am a #Statistician and #DataScientist from Germany. I am also passionate about Free and #OpenSource #Software and am deeply involved in hosting, developing and advocacy of privacy friendly FOSS tools.
Besides above two topics, I share posts & ramble myself about #politics in Germany and the EU, #feminism, #veganism, #selfhosting, #rstats, #linux and whatever is currently happening. Posts are typically in English, shares are often in German as well.
If you have further questions, you are free to ask any time. You can find further contact info (incl. PGP) on my website https://www.jayvii.de
Love the idea of #Introduction posts!
Hi I'm David, a #statistician & #methodologist at #UCL, working in #ClinicalTrials and #MetaAnalysis (MA), particularly in #oncology & with #survival data. I've been involved in large-scale #RCTs, meta-analysis of #COVID19 data on behalf of #WHO, and currently working with large-scale #IPDMA in #prostateCancer. Main methodological interest is treatment interactions with observed patient #subgroups in MA. I also write & maintain #Stata packages.
Hi 
I'm Dan! Time for another #introduction
I'm a
Dad
#statistician at a #dataanalytics consultancy
#ultrarunner
#rstats fan
#survivor tragic
#metalhead
My time here is spent sharing #dataviz projects for #tidytuesday, Survivor, other #dataanalysis and related stuff
I'm the owner of the survivoR #Rstats package. I don't talk about #survivor much but I do visualise it a lot! 
Lastly, you'll likely find me in the #mountains
Second round of #introductions are required after moving instances.
I'm a #statistician and #Rstats user interested in #dataviz #highereducation and #AIethics.
I used to tweet code things, papers and pretty pictures. Now I toot them too!
