Three days driving through France and Switzerland to get to Italy. It's been fun, for the most part - - - Anna would get to the evening with very little left in her tank, which made her a bit cranky... Kobi would not care to any historical fact I was trying to tell him. Marta and I really enjoyed beautiful Colmar and was impressed by Nancy!
Now final leg to get to Florence and on to the summer school on Monday!
Some very good stuff on survival modelling (with potential applications within HTA and beyond) from Luke Hardcastle (who's doing fantastic work in his PhD) with me and Sam Livingstone (also, @stats_UCL).
Still a few more places available for our summer school in Bayesian methods in health economics - in Florence (just saying...). 22-26 July. Check all details here:

First-come/first-serve, so hurry up!
Build vignettes with Quarto!
Quarto R package version 1.4 is here 📦✨ The main feature is a new vignette engine that allows you to use quarto as a vignette builder and use .qmd files as vignettes!
The package also includes more enhancements for compatibility with the Quarto CLI 1.4 🔥💻
Learn more in the Release Notes: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-r/releases/tag/v1.4
OK, here's my attempt to put the same model into rethinking, stan, brms, inla, and tmbstan. It's not perfect (inla and tmbstan need more), but for folk using Statistical Rethinking, maybe useful? We'll see what my students think today. https://biol609.github.io/lab/alt_to_rethinking.html #rstats
