Projects that span government, academia, industry, different countries, and multiple fields of study are extremely rare. I've been lucky to be a part of such a collaboration and we put out a paper in Nature's Scientific Reports summarizing some of the recent work.
🧵1/n
'Slicing and dicing' data is usually discouraged due to increased rates of false positives and making the work harder to replicate. However, there are some techniques that can analyze the exponentially-many subsets of tabular data in scalable, disciplined ways.
3/n
Lots of other great researchers are part of this and similar projects at madiva.africa/ made possible by the NIH's DS-I program.
@SBIMB1 @aphrc @DSI_Africa
For anyone still reading, here's al link to the paper.
