📢 Exciting new research alert! Dr. @JJ_Chipman's innovative study on Sequential Monitoring using the Second Generation P-Value with Type I error Controlled by Monitoring Frequency is out now - read it at bit.ly/AS715 #BiostatsElevated @UofUMedicine @UofUHealth

@ildiazm @ADAlthousePhD @Lach_cribb I agree. It is not a substitute for evaluating robustness to assumptions.
English
@ADAlthousePhD @Lach_cribb It has certainly helped applied researchers do better research, but as it gains popularity it is being used to refer to studies that suffer from the very issues it was supposed to address.

@ildiazm I am not as familiar with the history of science as you. Can you point me to the many tools for falsifiability beyond experiments? Also, I think it may be a block of salt not just a grain.

My original post goes beyond mediation analysis, but let me respond to this particular issue in the case of mediation analysis in a little thread: 🧵
Daniel Scharfstein@dscharf3
@ildiazm I have always been uncomfortable with natural direct and indirect effects and the assumptions required for identification. Can you explain how you think about these from your nature viewpoint?
English
@ildiazm Why should I believe that this model represents reality somewhat accurately? Should mediation papers that report natural direct and indirect effects discuss the reality of this model?
English
For (1), let the causal model be A->M->Y with an NPSEM A=h(U), M=f(A,V), and Y=g(A,M,E), (U,V,E) are unmeasured. If you believe this model represents reality somewhat accurately, you can then decide to analyze how the function composition g(a1, f(a2, V), E) varies with (a1, a2).

Excited to share my latest paper with @amoafo_linda and Elizabeth Platz; it develops a sensitivity analysis tool for evaluating the influence of unmeasured confounding in observational studies with time-to-event outcomes arxiv.org/abs/2403.02539
