Repackaging the WXYZ Model
An Illustration of the power of Claude Skills
In my long post about AI Skills, I made vague reference to the possibilities that Skills provide when it comes to the conversation about open source. I want to take this opportunity to provide one concrete illustration of how a Skill can radically simplify the process of making a model...

Reflecting on 6 months of developing Skills in Claude
Statistics were, I am a bit embarrassed to say, my weakest subject in high school. I barely scraped by with a passing grade, well below my average in other math classes. Depending on how different in age we are, you may remember learning how to manually calculate an ANOVA table...

Replicating models with Claude AI
AI Skills may be the key that unlocks a new way to build models
Using Claude AI to replicate decision models Introduction Health Technology Assessment (HTA) requires the inclusion of economic analysis so that decision-makers have information about the impact their decisions will have on the health of the population - both in terms of direct health impact but also the health foregone by...
