Interesting. 2 lessons here:
1. Don't use LLM output code uncritically, even if it runs smoothly
2. As developers we can protect our #rstats code from such problems e.g. with rlang.r-lib.org/reference/ch...

student used some AI-assisted code to compute ROC stats with weights and the AI hallucinated pROC::roc(…, weights = weights). (the function doesn’t have a weights argument.) and because the function has a … argument, the fake weights argument was ignored without any warning

2 lecturer positions in applied math open in our institute, one in statistics & probability and another in optimization. Link (in French) here www.math.u-bordeaux.fr/imb/l-imb-re... The recruiting team is open to applications to ecology and environmental sciences more generally (climate, energy).

For colleagues just following me now: #quantitative #ecologist here, doing #stats and #theory, big fan of #bioticinteractions and #demography questions. I often comment on stats issues, scientific edition, finding old refs, and fun natural history. More active on Mastodon 🦣 (same handle) until then.
