Reposted by Paul HuxleyVectorByte @vectorbyte.bsky.social · 31/01/2025In this preprint, we describe this head-scratcher of a devs challenge, and present an information standard designed to be sufficient, not onerous, and flexible. We also illustrate (nicely done, @phuxley.bsky.social) the value of disaggregated data for parameter estimation. 211
