Christian Röver<p>A very interesting workshop on "Hierarchical models in preclinical research" finished today in Göttingen. This was a joint undertaking of the IBS-DR working groups "Non-clinical statistics" and "Bayes Methods", and included an extensive Tutorial on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brms</span></a> by Sebastian Weber and Lukas Widmer. Some of the material is available on the meeting website:</p><p><a href="https://www.biometrische-gesellschaft.de/arbeitsgruppen/bayes-methodik/workshops/2024-goettingen.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">biometrische-gesellschaft.de/a</span><span class="invisible">rbeitsgruppen/bayes-methodik/workshops/2024-goettingen.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bayesian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bayesian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MedStatGoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedStatGoe</span></a></p>
Andreas Leha<p>Got bitten by compiler flags in the <a href="https://academiccloud.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> 📦 cmdstanr.</p><p>If you use the intel compiler suite, you might have a line to source some intel/setvars.sh file to setup the environment. Turns out that cmdstanr populates an environment variable which is then confused here.</p><p>Solution: pipe the output of the line sourcing the setvars.sh to /dev/null</p><p>Thanks to Likas Widmer in help to solve this!</p><p><a href="https://academiccloud.social/tags/MedStatGoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedStatGoe</span></a></p>
Andreas Leha<p>Are Bayesian analyses 'subjective' as you have to specify priors?<br>Highly entertaning presentation by Lukas Widmer form Novartis, that started by defending the use of priors but later showing a compelling example on how things can go wrong with misspecified priors.</p><p><a href="https://www.biometrische-gesellschaft.de/arbeitsgruppen/bayes-methodik/workshops/2024-goettingen.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">biometrische-gesellschaft.de/a</span><span class="invisible">rbeitsgruppen/bayes-methodik/workshops/2024-goettingen.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://academiccloud.social/tags/MedStatGoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedStatGoe</span></a></p>
