Very excited to announce a new post-estimation command -standsurv- in R for calculating marginal estimates after fitting a flexsurv parametric survival model Check out the vignette cran.r-project.org/web/packa… #rstats 🧵 1/3

I've made this cheat sheet and I think it's important. Most stats 101 tests are simple linear models - including "non-parametric" tests. It's so simple we should only teach regression. Avoid confusing students with a zoo of named tests. lindeloev.github.io/tests-as… 1/n
Common statistical tests are linear models (or: how to teach stats)

Patients said they wanted more info about the possible side effects of their breast cancer therapies, but there wasn’t good evidence so we started doing meta-analyses. The first is now out, on bisphosphonates. We found 24 possible side effects... doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone… 🧵

Extending the Claxton et al (2015) analysis, we find that marginal productivity of English NHS in 2012/13 was 700 QALYs per £10mn (or £14k per QALY). OK so what? (1/4)
