Our preprint is now out! 📄 We looked at whether five flexible IPTW / propensity score weighting approaches can be used for count exposures, and whether they can be combined with multiple imputation. We also illustrate the methods using BCS70 data. Link: doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2603.23726

Inverse Probability Weighting of Count Exposures in the Presence of Missing Data: A Simulation Study

Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) is widely used to estimate causal effects, but guidance is limited for count exposures. It is also unclear how IPTW performs when combined with multip...

Such a useful update for day-to-day data cleaning. Very excited to finally have look up tables in the tidyverse!

If you use survey data collected through mixed modes (f2f, telephone, online), check out this @royalstatsoc.bsky.social event with @rjsilverwood.bsky.social @georgiatomova.bsky.social and others.

What percentage of the health research funding pot do you think goes on methods and meta science? Around 2% (if you add together all mention of research design and methodologies across all areas from research.hscni.net/sites/defaul...) Just 2% spent on the part that underpins EVERYTHING we do.

We are looking for some community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions! - replace_when() - recode_values() - replace_values() New tools for recoding (think, lookup tables!) and replacing (think, replace `-99` with `NA` in `col`) in the tidyverse - I'm pretty excited about these!

Excited (and a little nervous!) to be giving a talk on 30 June at the Turing’s CIIG seminar series. If you're interested in IPTW/propensity score methods, or in seeing some cat photos 🐾 (with the former obviously being more likely!), everyone’s welcome to join.

Just came across this gem on survey designs and survey weights with R. Free online version available.

Also had the chance to give a peer workshop on causal inference. It was rewarding to see how much clarity the frameworks bring to diverse areas and to learn from the discussions. The takeaway is that causal inference is less intimidating when seen as a way asking clear questions. #causalinference

It was wonderful to finally meet one of my causal inference heroes @pwgtennant.bsky.social in person at our Soc-B PhD workshop. A brilliant and inspiring talk.
