Real world data (RWD) analyses need diverse expertise in medicine/stats/causality. As a result, RWD causal analysis is slow and prone to error. AI tools can help. Perspective in NEJM AI w/Maya Petersen, @amalaa.bsky.social, Chris Holmes, Mark van der Laan ai.nejm.org/stoken/defau...

Artificial Intelligence–Based Copilots to Generate Causal Evidence
While there is growing consensus that real-world data should play a larger role in generating causal evidence for health care, it is less clear whether and how AI can help. Current approaches to AI...

Probably should be making pies, but it’s much more fun to blog about calibration. This one gets into more practical issues w/recently proposed solutions like multicalibration, discussing results from a recent empirical evaluation statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/11/26/p...

Most clinical AI models are only evaluated for accuracy in retrospective datasets w/o real-world evaluation of clinical utility. In the the first lecture of our CPH 290 class, Julian Hong (UCSF) discussed a UCSF RCT of AI-driven risk prediction in radiotherapy acute care. youtu.be/GAf4yc61gv8?...
