Thread with details on the outstanding Covid19 mortality risk estimator by @TheEconomist. And reposting (wrt to tweet from Thu) now with correct credit to @XGBoostProject for the model deployed.
So read this thread, the article and background piece and the web app. #rstats
Over the past months we have built a statistical model that estimates the likelihood of dying or being hospitalized from covid-19 using age, sex and underlying medical conditions economist.com/graphic-detail…

"R saved from crashing"
As a friend alerted me (via a different article), the leading R of Berlin's Radisson hotel risked falling 120 meters, but all good now. Keep #rstats -ing folks.

To clarify on the #rstats sampling profiler by @unconj1:
- xrprof is now in @Debian unstable: if you run that (or testing w/ unstable pinned) do `apt install xrprof`
- xrprof is now in @Ubuntu hirsute so 21.04 should have it
- in the meantime and for 20.04/20.10, my PPA has it:
Thanks to quick work from @eddelbuettel, my sampling profiler for #rstats is now part of Debian Unstable 🎉. Soon you will be able to
$ apt-get install xrprof
