@f2harrell.bsky.social how could one implement Bayesian imputation previously applied in model development? Report the posterior draws of each coefficient from imputation models?

Forgot to mention the biggest shortcoming: not having the outcome available

Problem with MI is when one does not have the dev/validation data available when deploying the model, which is not uncommon

What method would you use if planning to deploy a CPM allowing for missing data for the end-user?

Similar arguments by Riley and Martin in the preprint I mentioned

but doesn’t frequentist single regression imputation also perform better if Y is omitted?

I believe they will discuss this enlightening paper: arxiv.org/abs/2504.06799

in which they recommend single regression imputation when ones plan to apply a CPM and wants to allow for missing data at deployment.

What would be the advantage of Bayes in this case?

A "Mr. McMahon reaction meme" where McMahon shows increasing levels of amazement/excitement, with levels "I^2", "tau^2", and "prediction interval", and "predictive distribution".

Great talk. In CPMs using LASSO, would you recommend reporting the proportion of how often each predictor was selected by LASSO in bootstrap samples?

Couldn't hold myself, had to fit a #Bayesian cumulative ordinal model to this interesting data:

Canadian intensivists and nephrologists don't seem to disagree much!

Tough one. There is a famous clinical prediction model with such an outcome, if that’s of any help: www.bmj.com/content/349/... by @benvancalster.bsky.social

Added a statistical analysis tab to explore Bayesian partial pooling visualization (cc @rmcelreath.bsky.social). Added some model explanations too.

Data viz heavily inspired by @benmoran.bsky.social's beautiful bayesfoRest package

Amazing work. I was particularly interested in visualizations for studies on dexmedetomidine for investigating dosage, timing, risk of bias.

Vibe-coded this app: arthur-albuquerque.github.io/dexmedetomid... Example visualization attached.

I'd love some feedback

These are more scientific-oriented softwares

@matthewluney.bsky.social et al really amazing work, congratulations.
Quick Q: you stated that "Moderate certainty evidence indicates that dexmedetomidine is effective". However, CINeMA showed low confidence rating for dexmedetomidine vs. placebo (Table S22).

Why did you reference it as "moderate"?

Isn’t this formula utility very limited?
