    Why biostatistics is confusing and how to make it less so

    ByAnnMaria De Mars April 8, 2015April 8, 2015

    Getting ready to teach biostatistics in a few weeks and it seems to me that the real confusion in most cases is not the calculations, which can be fairly simple, but rather that there can be several ways of looking at the same question. Let’s take “risk” as an example. What is the “risk” of…

    Statistics in My Life

    ByAnnMaria De Mars April 3, 2015

    Any time I hear someone brag, “I’ve never used X in my life,” I automatically assume that whatever it is, they haven’t learned it very well. Just about everything I’ve learned has come in useful, and the better I learned it, the more useful it is. Take statistics, for example. There is nowhere in my…

    Replication, Correlation and Causation

    ByAnnMaria De Mars March 31, 2015

    There is not nearly enough replication in scientific research. It’s unfortunate that funding agencies and academic journals always want to see a new twist – a different technique, a different population. Personally, I’m very interested in reading studies that say: “I did the exact same study as Mary Lou Who and I found pretty much…

    Bonus SAS Tips Before SAS Global Forum

    ByAnnMaria De Mars March 26, 2015March 27, 2015

    I’m giving a talk on Preparing Students for the Real World of Data at SAS Global Forum next month. You’d think 50 minutes would be long enough for me to talk, but that just goes to show you don’t know me as well as you think you do. One point made in the template for…

    Doing SAS in a Weird Way

    ByAnnMaria De Mars March 19, 2015March 19, 2015

    If you came into my office and watched me work today, just before I had you arrested for stalking me, you might notice me doing some things that are the absolute opposite of best practices. I need about 10 datasets for some analyses I’ll be doing for my SAS Global Forum paper. I also want…

    The Luxury of Every Day Problems

    ByAnnMaria De Mars March 18, 2015March 18, 2015

    We were driving to the hospital to get some tests done and complaining about the traffic with Colorado Ave. closed for a couple of blocks for construction on the new train line. The Invisible Developer, brilliant, as usual, commented, At least we have the luxury of worrying about every day things. He was right, of…

    What Does a CEO Do All Day?

    ByAnnMaria De Mars March 13, 2015March 13, 2015

    As further proof  that God has a sense of humor, my career has been full of reversals. Where I was once the pain-in-the-ass young hotshot who knew everything and thought my boss was stuck in the past century, now I have to deal with people like that. For my first few years as an employee,…

    I take back every bad thing I ever said about hackathons

    ByAnnMaria De Mars March 10, 2015

    Some people may have said that hackathons are a stupid ass idea where a bunch of people who have can’t afford to buy their own pizza spend 48 hours with a bunch of strangers and no showers. Okay, well, maybe that was me. I take it all back. We kicked off our hackathon at noon…
