How to assess a statistical model?
How to choose between variables?

Pearson's #correlation is irrelevant if you suspect that the relationship is not a straight line.

If monotonic relationship:
"#Spearman’s rho is particularly useful for small samples where weak correlations are expected, as it can detect subtle monotonic trends." It is "widespread across disciplines where the measurement precision is not guaranteed".
"#Kendall’s Tau-b is less affected [than Spearman’s rho] by outliers in the data, making it a robust option for datasets with extreme values."

For the next few months, Dr. Andrej-Nikolai Spiess (openalex.org/works?page=1&filt) will be a guest in my working group.

We are working on a paper where we show that 29 % of papers in top journals like Science, Nature & PNAS were skewed by a single influential data point! Time to rethink our reliance on p-values and explore alternative measures like #dfstat. #reproducibilitycrisis #linearregression #rstats

Moreover, we will work on #qPCR related software like PCRedux (joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105)

"The following sections discuss several state-of-the-art interpretable and explainable #ML methods. The selection of works does not comprise an exhaustive survey of the literature. Instead, it is meant to illustrate the commonest properties and inductive biases behind interpretable models and [black-box] explanation methods using concrete instances."
