K Belisario (she/her)I’m thinking of using change scores in regression trees to probe why some people are insulated from having a rebound of anxiety/ depression symptoms whilst others are not, given alcohol’s effects as a depressant. I typically wouldn’t use change scores (i.e. measure at follow-up subtracted from baseline), but this seems like an appropriate use. I’m curious if anyone has experience of using change scores in this sort of context? This would be my first foray into Machine Learning! <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicChatter</a>

Alexander KarnIt is possible to be disgusted and outraged and yet remain silent. Some would even call this prudence. But it is not possible to advance politics or defend principles without determined speech and action. There is obviously risk in the latter approach (do I make myself a target when I might have skated through?), but not so much as with quietly absorbing each blow with a vague hope it will be the last. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highered</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a>
