Why do seemingly useful models fail to improve clinical outcomes when implemented? Resource constraints. In this paper, we describe constraints, how they affect net benefit, and how they apply to other measures. Paper: academic.oup.com/jamia/advan… R pkg: github.com/ML4LHS/modelrecon

Surgery folks, even though this is based around psychology, this is a great resource well worth a read through.
Do you want to do a psychology experiment while following best practices in open science? My collaborators and I have created Experimentology, a new open web textbook (to be published by MIT Press but free online forever). experimentology.io Some highlights! 🧵
