Optimizing Complex Health Intervention Packages through the Learn-As-you-GO (LAGO) Design
Donna Spiegelman, Dong Roman Xu, Ante Bing +11
In the face of vast numbers of preventable deaths worldwide and gaping disparities in their distribution, we cannot afford to conduct null and inconclusive effectiveness and implem…
Model-based causal feature selection for general response types
Lucas Kook, Sorawit Saengkyongam, Anton Rask Lundborg +2
Discovering causal relationships from observational data is a fundamental yet challenging task. Invariant causal prediction (ICP, Peters et al., 2016) is a method for causal featur…
Replication of "null results" -- Absence of evidence or evidence of absence?
Samuel Pawel, Rachel Heyard, Charlotte Micheloud +1
In several large-scale replication projects, statistically non-significant results in both the original and the replication study have been interpreted as a "replication success".…
Pitfalls and potentials in simulation studies: Questionable research practices in comparative simulation studies allow for spurious claims of superiority of any method
Samuel Pawel, Lucas Kook, Kelly Reeve
Comparative simulation studies are workhorse tools for benchmarking statistical methods. As with other empirical studies, the success of simulation studies hinges on the quality of…
Effective Resistance for Pandemics: Mobility Network Sparsification for High-Fidelity Epidemic Simulation
Alexander M. Mercier, Samuel V. Scarpino, Cristopher Moore
Network science has increasingly become central to the field of epidemiology and our ability to respond to infectious disease threats. However, many networks derived from modern da…
The assessment of replication success based on relative effect size
Leonhard Held, Charlotte Micheloud, Samuel Pawel
Replication studies are increasingly conducted in order to confirm original findings. However, there is no established standard how to assess replication success and in practice ma…
