A simple and powerful test of vaccine waning
Gellért Perényi, Matias Janvin, Mats J. Stensrud
Determining whether vaccine efficacy wanes is important for individual and public decision making. Yet, quantification of waning is a subtle task. The classical approaches cannot b…
Interpretational errors with instrumental variables
Luca Locher, Mats J. Stensrud, Aaron L. Sarvet
Instrumental variables (IV) are often used to identify causal effects in observational settings and experiments subject to non-compliance. Under canonical assumptions, IVs allow us…
