Using leave-one-out cross-validation to calculate metrics such as AUC and R^2 creates bias! This can be fixed by removing one of each class in the meanwhile to maintain the training data distribution - great work by Tal and his team 🧪🧬🖥️
Out after peer-review: www.science.org/doi/full/10....
Our bottom line stayed: never use leave-one-out cross-validation as it has inherent train-test leakage. Consider our Rebalanced version instead!
We now also account for regression and nested cross-validation, with more extensive benchmarking.

The strategy of CDU chancellor F. #Merz to weaken the far-right #NoAFD by copying its content (on migration etc) is working, not. Now the nazis are polling even stronger than CDU. Remember how that was with the centric approach from Merkel (or in the Regions SH, NRW etc). #FckNzs #AfDVerbot #Gießen

As I'm planning next years field season, I wonder if anyone on here would like to run a small island project on Skúvoy with me. I will be catching and samling great skuas, but there will be good opportunities to investigate other aspects of seabird island ecology 🌍🧪 #seabirds

My guess is people close to the Honduran president made political "donations" to tRump while the guys in those drug boats didn't. Pay to play or die.
And it goes on.
The man is completely unraveling.
Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.
This isn’t law and order.
It’s the most lawless presidency in American history.👇

Reproducibility is foundational but often compromised. Studies may use ambiguous protocols, untested tools, or selective reporting. If methods are opaque or poorly documented, does science genuinely self-correct, or does it merely create an illusion of rigor?

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.
