Agreed. Simple is the best for communicating, isn’t it. It is applied to all disciplines I think!

Good to hear from you, Toby. It has been great to learn many aspects of Hong Kong health informatics from you. Thanks!

I don’t know if you feel the same that this discussion group can benefit tremendously from having students from different countries. My BHI mission is now to recruit students from various parts of the world and we can all learn even more.. good stuff here.

No right no wrong, by discussing these things together we can learn to respect people’s opinion…well done.

Great discussions, thanks.

We unavoidably face ‘bigger’ data everyday so it is good to be aware of all these challenges and share some solutions. Thanks all of you for your great contribution to the discussion.

Good discussions on corruption and very encouraging to see the great awareness on this topic among yourselves, who drive one country’s healthcare in the future!

Wouldn’t it be a good idea if one BHI student could do the project on collecting the evidence of impacts on these changes of hospital’s administrative system in our country!

Great discussions on different challenges in health systems here. Thanks for sharing experiences and opinions in this topic.

I am glad to see all your comments which clearly showed your self-reflection and intention to improve the listening skill. It is good to recognise that we are all different and nobody is perfect. Missing the details, missing the big picture or missing subtle cues can all happen to us…so be patient when work together!

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts and some action plans. Taking the balance between caring for yourself and caring for others is what I have been trying to do. I have finished the ‘effective listening’ https://www.linkedin.com/learning/effective-listening/improve-your-listening-skills?u=91782594 which I found enjoyable. It has the components of…[Read more]

Some good literatures on this:

So if you are going to put in those controls in the model, how would you do it? My suggestion is to have a term multiply to beta. That term could consist of parameters informing the coverage and efficacy of the intervention. That term is taking the value between 0 and 1, for example we can say
let x be the effective coverage of needle sharing…[Read more]

Good choice of structure. Now I think it would depend on the questions you want to focus on. Whether you need to look at various stages of infection (like my published work) or whether it is enough to just have one compartment I. So far you tend to focus on beta. Perhaps you are interested in varying the beta or reducing beta through contact rate…[Read more]

Good job.

The four areas of work you mentioned towards the end are all valid. The next step would be to look for the right structure of the disease progression-transmission (i.e. SIR, SEIR etc). Continue literature review to see what would be the questions suitable for Myanmar setting, how interventions are in place and what may be the issue in the setting.…[Read more]

พอดีว่าไม่เห็นว่า error message ขึ้นว่าอะไร รบกวนส่งให้ดูได้มั้ยคะ หรือจะเข้ามาคุยกันวันพุธนี้ตอนเย็น 5 โมงก็ยินดีนะคะ

ถ้าเราไม่set working directory ก่อนเราต้องบอก path ให้ครบค่ะ ต้องใส่ read.csv(“C:/folder/data.csv”) หรืถ้าset working directory ตามVDO ที่ชี้แจงไว้จะสามารถเรียก command ที่ว่าได้และไม่มี error ค่ะ
setwd(“C:/folder/”)
read.csv(“data.csv”)
อย่าลืมว่าถ้าจะใช้ data ในการคำนวณต่อต้อง assign name ให้ data ด้วยนะคะ เช่…[Read more]

I agree and disagree with this point, just because we calculate p-value based on one data sample so it is just one piece of evidence so when the calculated p-value is very small, it may be true for just this one sample. By saying the p value is less than 0.05 (rather than p value = ???) in a way don’t over emphasis on just one sample’s result in…[Read more]
