Big News for Causal Inference Nerds: Discord, Courses & Freebies Inside🎁!

Dear Causal Inference in Biostatistics Enthusiast,

New Causal Inference Discord Community!

I finally did it! I created a discord community that already hosts over 60 members and is hosting lively discussions.

There you can find:

• Q&A forum: for structured causal inference discussions, usually more technical or detailed

• Meme channel: for laughter

• Featured-content channel: a platform to host featured content and spotlight it

• Causal-inference-in-statistics-book: a private channel for those who purchased my book and want to discuss it

• Office Hours voice channel: a private channel where I will be available at pre-specified times to discuss and answer questions. Those who purchase the book have access to it.

We’re already discussing with the community plans to create a Journal Club and a “night science” club, to discuss WILD ideas, informally.

Exciting News: Introduction to Biostatistics Online Course

I’ve teamed up with the great Aleksander Molak, author of Causal Inference and Discovery in Python, to deliver my first online course, Intro to Biostats, and we are going through our first Founding Cohort.

Our first live lectures have been amazing and the feedback has been way better than I expected!

• A pre-order for the full book once it is complete

You can order now!

biostatistics.ca Launched a Newsletter and a FREE Github library with code

We’re expanding out content: to weekly articles, we now added a newsletter and free repository to share code notebooks!

Kronecker Product Use-Case (with FREE R Code)

What is the Kronecker product?

It is a special operation on matrices (i.e. arrays) that I recently used in my consulting practice.

Check out the tutorial below!

Discrete Choice Experiment Case-Study

I’m currently working on a DCE in patient-preference for medical treatments.

Check out the case-study below where I provided value after a 30-minute call.

I’m extremely proud of these accomplishments: My goals is to improve scientific practice everywhere!

Stay tuned as I update you on the progress of this collaboration.

NEW BLOG POST SERIES : Time-to-event (or Survival) Analysis, tutorials with code!

We are launching an extensive series of tutorials with code with our collaborator Shishir Rao on Survival Analysis.

Shishir has a background in Engineering/Statistics. After more than a decade working in the energy industry, he is currently exploring independent consulting in the field of reliability analytics.

Here's what a recent R&D scientist in biotech whom I’ve collaborated with for over a year had to say:

" [...] Immediately from our first call, Justin stood out from other candidates that I have considered: he was highly knowledgeable about the underlying theory behind various statistical approaches, and he could clearly explain when and why I should use them. Furthermore, he was unique in appreciating the need to balance academic rigour with the realities of running biological field trials (i.e., uncontrollable variables, time, cost).

[...] I have learned much theory and practice from him, and our collaborations have resulted in real business impact. [...] I look forward to continuing our collaboration!"
