NHSN and other epi datasources back again. I imagine there is quite some work under the scene, thanks CDC folks we've been missing you.

The studies informing stratified parameters in IDD models often have partitions (e.g age group) different from the model partitions. Most papers takes the median/mean estimates, but a correct solution exists: see this great paper/R pkg (C. Pearson, @lucygoodfellow.bsky.social @mert0248.bsky.social)

Just discovered this excellent book on genomics from Tanja Stadler et al. Free pdf offered here: decodinggenomes.org. The chapters I've read hit a biology/statistics sweet spot for me and probably other IDD researchers.
