Recently, I have been learning to use generalised additive models (#GAMs)
Learning resources for GAMs can be hard to find so here are some that I have found useful
Note: mostly for #RStats
Hopefully useful for anyone starting with GAMs (incl. #epitwitter folks)

If you've never done anything with GAMs before, this 3+ hour webinar by @ucfagls is truly excellent! Great conceptual explanations!
Watched it several times, and each time I pick up something new from it as I learn more about GAMs

There are some great interactive courses by @noamross.
One is free: noamross.github.io/gams-in-r-cour…
The other one is on DataCamp (not free)

New paper!
We introduce #GAMs as a tool for analysing medical monitoring data. We also present the idea that GAMs can be used to decompose a medical waveform into individual, physiologically relevant, components.

Example 1: Pulse pressure ("the strength of a heart beat") varies with ventilation (mechanical). We can use a cyclic spline to represent the repeating effect of ventilation on pulse pressure. 
This is especially useful when we only have a few beats per ventilation (high respiratory rate, low heart rate), where the pulse pressure variation in any individual ventilation does not represent the "true" pulse pressure variation.
It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.
The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.
She needs REASONS. She got them.
Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”
The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened
People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH
