My lecture last night at @turinginst @LSHTM & excellent introduction by @PhilDawid available here: panopto.lshtm.ac.uk/Panopto/…

Just to clarify: @mark_vdlaan ‘s lecture is about estimation using targeted learning, typically applied in causal inference, but after identification. Nevertheless, it’s going to be epic! Sold out, but live-streamed #epitwitter

Along with @mark_vdlaan @podTockom @rachaelvp and others, we’ve also been writing what we hope is a gentle and applied introduction in our live @tlverse handbook tlverse.org/tlverse-handbook…. Feedback very welcome if it turns out to be helpful #statstwitter #epitwitter

Asked for a comparison of TMLE and double machine learning, this blog post comparing the two approaches in historical context came together quickly vanderlaan-lab.org/2019/12/2… #causalinference #statstwitter #epitwitter #machinelearning

Exciting news, and there’s more: together with @SVansteelandt and @mark_vdlaan we’re running a #causalinference #MachineLearning masterclass @turinginst the previous day (March 3rd). Applications will open early in the new year. Watch this space!

How about a statistically unbiased estimate of something interesting, and don't even bother estimating something that isn't interesting?

Great keynote at #ASABiopharm by @laan12345! @tlverse @AmstatNews #targetedlearning #superlearner #causalinference #statstwitter

There’s also an open handbook we’re writing (tlverse.org/tlverse-handbook…) and recent workshop materials (tlverse.org/acic2019-worksho…) with software usage examples. Please let us know how best we can improve these tools!

“Individual men are insoluble puzzles, but in aggregate they become a mathematical certainty. You can't foretell what 1 man will do, but you can say what an avg # will be up to. Individuals vary but %s remain constant. So says the statistician.” - Sherlock Holmes #statsquotes
