NEW PAPER in @bmj.com where we discuss the rationale, challenges, and approaches to providing uncertainty of risk estimates from clinical prediction models www.bmj.com/content/388/... #StatsSky #MLSky #EpiSky #AI #machinelearning

**NEW BMJ PAPER** "Uncertainty of risk estimates from clinical prediction models: rationale, challenges, and approaches" - most models provide just a risk estimate - we argue for presenting associated uncertainty too - includes pros, cons, PPIE & methods Hope helpful! www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Places still available for our online Statistical Methods for Risk Prediction and Prognostic models course. Registration closes 25th Feb. www.birmingham.ac.uk/study/short-...

TRIPOD+AI (Expanded E&E): "If uncertainty intervals for individual prediction model outputs have been presented then provide details on how this was done" (www.bmj.com/content/385/...) 👇This new paper provides insight into uncertainty of risk estimate on decision making www.bmj.com/content/388/...

NEW PAPER On quantifying uncertainty in your predictions. Excellently led by the group of @richarddriley.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Just published a couple of pre-prints for those interested in sample size calculations for precise and fair individual-level predictions ... (not the end of the story, but a useful contribution we hope): Binary outcomes: arxiv.org/abs/2407.09293 Survival outcomes: arxiv.org/abs/2501.14482

Applications are open for our William Guy Lectureships! The theme is Statistics and AI - its role in daily life, ethical issues, & environmental impact. If you're a data professional with a passion for inspiring the next generation about stats submit a talk proposal! rss.org.uk/news-publica...
