#Heterogeneity

The Big TableA huge issue is that numbers from different areas (like Germany/Italy or SF/NYC) seem very different.Theoretically, you could root cause this heterogeneity by forming a single giant table

New review with @EikoFried and @karmelchoi in @hmg_journal on #heterogeneity in #depression - we identified three sources of #heterogeneity in #depression in #genetic studies (mostly from past 10 yrs): operationalization,

A new paper is out exploring the impact of heterogeneity on the herd immunity threshold.It explores two types of heterogeneity- variation in susceptibility - and variation in contact rate.https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.2

People are trying to censor research findings, like heterogeneity (Gomes) and strength of T-cell response - because they might support a "right wing" agenda.Wow. Team Reality isn't just Team MAGA.

Following the brouhaha with the meta-analysis with the curious effect size calculations, I wanted to share some of the effect calculation/analysis errors and mixups in meta-analysis I often see when

I just taught @pedrohcgs and Callaway's excellent paper on nonparametric diff-in-diff. I think when you do a simulation showing the bias of TWFE and then show their estimator which isn't,

Determining correct health policy on a mass scale under conditions of extreme threat and even greater uncertainty is a wicked problem. One of the best ways to cope with this

Two preprints recently make an important point: for any infection, including COVID-19, it is possible that herd immunity can be accomplished with more than 1/R0 of the population still susceptible.

This preprint on SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics was a great read. The discussion about heterogeneity often focuses on numbers of contacts, but that always felt incomplete to me. As much as
