Now that I think of it, Kendall changed wildly too, it was sleepy #MIT, and maybe some startups. Now it just feels like its been taken over by BioPharma concerns.

At least the #Kendall Band is still slightly functional, when thats gone, all is lost.

by Hannah Sharland in The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour

“Ultimately, none of this is actually about supporting chronically ill and disabled people into employment. It’s about punching down on vulnerable people so Labour doesn’t have to tax the super-rich and corporations”

Canary · The most callous part of Liz Kendall's DWP plans was actually a Tory idea she's made worseThe DWP changes Labour is pushing are dire - but it's one for Universal Credit which is shocking, as disabled people won't even get a say

Kendall goes ahead as promised - hiding behind a plarhora of lies, disinformation and diversions. For fex sake, even Polly Toynbee (who has bent backwards to support right wing Labour over the years has finally realised that her idol has feet of clay (even if she remains confident that it will be bakes again).

The rest of us recognise a badly burnt pudding when we smell one.

Canary · DWP under pressure as lawyer for WASPI women comes out fighting"Can such cases be won? Yes, they can..." says the lawyer acting for the WASPI women against the DWP. Fighting talk, indeed.

At today's #PMQs, John Slinger (Lab) sets things up for the #WelfareBenefits changes

"Will the Prime Minister set out how this government will give everyone who is able to work the support they need, provide compassion for those who can't work, and fix the broken welfare system?"

#Starmer replies, "We inherited a system that is broken morally and economically."

#Kendall goes "hear hear" to this and returns to her bubbling cauldron

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."
