    1. Using Cox survival estimates at 60 Months

      CalibratioN ... suggest adding note about when to worry!

      "We're going to worry about over-predicting survival when it's high and under-predicting when it's low. Frank Harrell 09:02:47 Uh, and this is the classic kind of regression to the mean. So to really… If you wanted to use this as a prognostic model. Frank Harrell 09:02:55 Predictive model, you probably go back and apply some shrinkage, or really talk to the experts to do more data reduction than I did."

    2. Choosing the Number of Parameters and Fitting the Model

      Note Frank says he would not analyze this ds this way now. and there might be an error in the data

      ?? maybe put a note here for the reader? or maybe link to the video 5-20-2025

    1. rmsb: Bayesian Regression Modeling Strategies Package, Focusing on Semiparametric Univariate and Longitudinal Models

      maybe subdivide 6.3 with 6.3.1 rms, 6.3.2 rmsb, and ? 6.3.3 the global options, etc. or maybe include that with 6.3.1?

      Main point is the toc for section 6 should show a subsection for rmsb explicitly!

    1. 42

      why is the number 42 shown separately from the lowest interval and the second lowest?

      also, wondering how to see the color associated with each interval? True, I can hover over various colors and figure out that yellow represents the highest interval ...

    1. Logistic regression

      Just to clarify, some ML 'packages' (e.g. AzureML, GoogleML) consider logistic regression to be one of the ML algorithms. FWIW, I've seen (high school) science fair projects use both of those and find that logistic is "the winner" ...

    2. over-simplified

      if the cutoff for dichotomizing one variable is unstable, shouldn't be surprised that a tree based on cutoffs by dichotomizing multiple variables is unstable ?

    1. that the difference between the most different treatments is badly biased

      trying to understand this: maybe "the difference between the treatments with the greatest difference is badly biased"

    1. Best way to make model fit data well is to discard much of the data

      Suggested edit to emphasize you don't really suggest this approach?!

      "Best way" to make model fit data well is to discard much of the data!!
