Questioning Existing Cancer Hazard Evaluation Standards in the Name of Statistics
Rusyn, I., Chiu, W. A., & Wright, F. A. (2020, October).
MeSH headings : Biological Assay; Glycine / analogs & derivatives; Humans; Neoplasms / epidemiology; Reference Standards
TL;DR:
This argument sets a potentially far-reaching precedent to revisit decades of standard practice of cancer hazard evaluation performed by national and international agencies, and proposes a very high bar to classify a chemical as positive in a rodent bioassay.

author keywords: Contagion-based social correlation; generalized linear transformation model; nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation; social network; time-to-event data
TL;DR:
A generalized linear transformation model is proposed for the conditional survival probability at each observed event time, which uses a time-varying covariate to incorporate the network structure and quantify the contagion-based social correlation.

Synonymous Site-to-Site Substitution Rate Variation Dramatically Inflates False Positive Rates of Selection Analyses: Ignore at Your Own Peril
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 37(8), 2430–2439.
author keywords: evolutionary model; synonymous rate variation; codon model; episodic selection
MeSH headings : Animals; Models, Genetic; Phylogeny; Rhodopsin / genetics; Selection, Genetic; Silent Mutation; Vertebrates / genetics
TL;DR:
It is found that failing to account for even moderate levels of SRV in selection testing is likely to produce intolerably high false positive rates and add to a growing literature establishing that tests of selection are much more sensitive to certain model assumptions than previously believed.
