Interval Estimation for Messy Observational Data

Paul Gustafson, Sander Greenland

We review some aspects of Bayesian and frequentist interval estimation, focusing first on their relative strengths and weaknesses when used in "clean" or "textbook" contexts. We th…

Relaxation Penalties and Priors for Plausible Modeling of Nonidentified Bias Sources

Sander Greenland

In designed experiments and surveys, known laws or design feat ures provide checks on the most relevant aspects of a model and identify the target parameters. In contrast, in most…
