Maybe "with" should be "when"??

as in "adjustments are needed when ..."

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!

Still working on this comment! I think I understand the intent, but there must be better choices for "models" and "descriptive statistics" ...

To me, "descriptive statistics" are the indispensable (IMHO) Hmisc::describe function, e.g. Section 8.2?? Or R Workflow Chp 9?

But I think you are using it for (not recommended) exploratory graphs looking at associations between outcome and various covariates.

Suggest something like this: (graphical) visualizations of a (well-fitted)(validated) model provide the (powerful) best (way)(tool) to (learn)(understand) the (underlying) data ....

this is a long sentence. Suggest replacing "as will auxiliary" with "as well as"

dropping the word "auxiliary" since most of the topics listed are too important

this link is broken as of 5-05-2024

maybe offer option to show this with vars ordered by the R^2?

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 ...

typo: "form" should be "from" (or maybe "using"

should be "have 1 less day"

see note below where g is the gini index

maybe not use g here!

here, g is the gini index, not to be confused with the label g that tells the code what measures to use in the bootstrap

nice not mice!!

X_1, X_2 not X2

unless sample size is > 20,000

p here is the number of parameters, not the prob in the above formulas

The references show Riley, et al Part II twice. Need to add the reference for Part I here:

Minimum sample size for developing a multivariable prediction model: Part I - Continuous outcomes Richard D Riley 1 , Kym I E Snell 1 , Joie Ensor 1 , Danielle L Burke 1 , Frank E Harrell Jr 2 , Karel G M Moons 3 , Gary S Collins 4

PMID: 30347470 DOI: 10.1002/sim.7993

reword ?? "does not at all affect"???

I cringe every time I see "she" ... it seems as if "she" is always doing something wrong! suggest "they" (with or without changing investigator to investigators ...

widering? maybe "widening" or just "wider"? or even "increasing the width of"

"only" in rare ...

1991 The effects of transformations and preliminary tests for non-linearity in regression. Stat Med, 10, 697–709.

suggest replacing "her" with "them"

what happened to the datamethods discussion for this chapter?

typo: "fredom" >> "freedom"

? plot title? Predicted Fat Fraction based on Height and Abdominal Circumference given Age = 43 ??

Confused ... you list 5 methods? Maybe number them 1 to 5 ...

1. Fit simple

2. Scatterplot of ...

3. Stratify ...

4. Separately for ...

5. Fit flexible nonlinear ...

Ah now Method 5!

Method 4

Method 3 ?

this is method 2?

Just one reference? So maybe just

"Stone and Koo (1985)"

or

"Stone & Koo (1985)"

your link went to the desktop version.

Here's link to the server version (Yea Posit!) https://posit.co/products/open-source/rstudio-server/

Can't find this ?personal communication??: gus06per

You've referenced Part II twice. I suspect the first reference in this pair should be to Part I : https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.7993

??

?insert "ed." or "edition" after "second"

typo .. "as" should be "has"

insert ":" Compute by treatment: the mean time unwell

In class, Frank says day should be year,not day

discussion in class very helpful for use of cancore option in transcan

Question: ?truncate? how would that var go in the formula? You said the prediction would be flat for wbc > 40000?

someone in class suggested define effective sample size in glossary!

and m is the sample size (number of observations?

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" ...

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 ?

insert period after cutpoints

only appears

effect is present

or better: Do Not Forget ...

?what is not recommended? ?analyses on individual completed datasets?

nonmonotonically

duplicated look

biased

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

just for readability:

"disease" or "no disease" when severity of disease is actually on a continuum

Pages for Part I are actually 1262--1275

in an object if you want

typo: Some of the functions ...

but also allow for shrinkage

add some simulated post data

When it increases

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!!

maybe "Change from baseline will"

the idea is to assume

question: after the plan, or after the pivotal analysis, has been completed?

*Avoid * the tendency (or "urge"!)
