😯 The greatest fear that drives people away from causality is not about complexity
It's about something much simpler

If you ask people who have some knowledge about causality, but they never worked in the field, you can often hear that using causal methods in the real world is "too risky".

The number one reason for this are the dreaded "causal assumptions".

A journey which started in 2016 has led to the publication of the #PREPARE study in @TheLancet today. In this #randomised study, we show that a 12-gene panel can reduce #adverse_effects by 30%. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gX95V-4XHGbk @CDSS_Liverpool @pandtuol
A 30% reduction in adverse reactions from a single #intervention is remarkable. news.liverpool.ac.uk/2023/02/03/mat… #pharmacogenetics #personalisedmedicine #adverse_effects. The study was funded by the Horizon 2020 program by the @eu_comission
Led by @HenkJGuchelaar and @JesseSwen as part of the #UPGx consortium: upgx.eu. All #ADRs were assessed for #causality by the Liverpool Causality Assessment Tool (LCAT): journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
DoWhy 0.9 includes some exciting new extensions and features, including better sensitivity analyses, new identification algorithms, and more. I'm particularly excited to see so many new contributors joining in on this release!

My textbook with Kosuke Imai (@Harvard) is finally out!
Assuming no prior knowledge of statistics or coding and only minimal knowledge of math, DSS teaches the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference + how to analyze real-world data with R.

2/n: We wrote DSS so that anyone could learn the skills we teach by following along with the exercises in the book on their own computer, without the help of an instructor. (Everything needed is either in the book or on the book's website.) #rstats #surveys #prediction #causality

David Krakauer: "Do you have a favorite model or metaphor for #time?"
@JamesGleick: "You've already mentioned a river; that's everybody's favorite. Borges said time is a tiger. People talk about it as a thread. We ONLY talk about time in metaphors."

9) Many risk factors modulate the propensity of LDL-C to traverse the endothelium and enter the arterial intima. See 🔓academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti….
10) It now appears that the passage of #LDL into the #intima is not a merely passive process whereby the concentration in blood & the permeability of the endothelium determine LDL accumulation.
11) It’s #Transcytosis (an active process), through a vesicular pathway involving #caveolae, scavenger receptors (#SRB1) and activin like receptor kinase 1 (#ALK1). Hence for a given blood level of LDL-C the amount of atherosclerosis is variable.

2 | TSH correlates to #allostatic load, measured by #SIQALS 2 score. Although #TSH rises, #FT4 and #FT3 concentration don't go down. Therefore, TSH doesn't reflect #hypothyroidism, but an increased setpoint due to type 2 #allostasis. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

I am humbled and privilleged to note that my #Research paper; "Sources of #Unemployment in #Lesotho" is now available and can be accessed via the People's Republic of #China's National #Science and #Technology #Library - #NSTL. I give thanks 😎
So far this year, I have successfully published three #Research articles in #Macroeconomics & #Finance, with another two in press. I am currently hammering away at a handful of working papers which will most certainly find a home in reputable #Journals, come 2021 🙏🏽🙂
Im currently internalising the very insightful reviewer comments on my latest #Research paper titled; "Investigating Determinants of Commercial Bank Spreads in #Lesotho", from the good folks over at the globally reputable #International #Journal of #Finance & #Economics #IJFE 😊
Immensely proud of bring of bringing some important aspects of #precision #proteomics to @NatureRevGenet with @ksuhre @markmccarthyoxf covering #gwas #pqtls and more nature.com/articles/s4157… @scilifelab @KTHresearch @ProteinAtlas
We provide insights into procedures, challenges, considerations and opportunities when combing #genetics and #proteomics for more informed, large scale studies of the circulating #proteome . #biobanks #olink #somalogic #massspec #affinityproteomics #epitopes #causality
Am very grateful to @ksuhre and @markmccarthyoxf for joining in on this journey and making this a wonderful experience over three continents, timezones, project and travel schedules!
1/13 Hoje irei falar para vocês sobre dois conceitos que são menos independentes do que parecem para alguns: Causalidade e predição. Confesso que é até estranho tratá-las como duas coisas separadas, ou diferentes, e espero convencê-los ao... #IA #AI #ML #causality #bookofwhy
2/13 final dessa thread de que essa visão é fundamentada. Na década de 50, Jacob Yerushalmy realizou um estudo onde acompanhou 15 mil crianças da região da baía de São Francisco. Para surpresa de Yerushalmy, e contrariando o que já se mostrava forte na época (que fumar
3/13 fazia mal a saúde), seus resultados indicavam que bebês de mães fumantes nascidos com baixo peso tinham mais chances de sobreviver do que bebês de mães não fumantes nascidos com baixo peso. Não era um estudo de inferência causal, era apenas predição, alguns podem dizer.
