観察研究で因果考えるときは，推定目標，標的集団，もしRCTだったらどうなるか，妥当性のfour targetsを考えようね，という話．Figure 1がわかりやすい．

Selection bias is selection bias. Confounding is confounding. Epidemiologists have done an excellent job distinguishing these two concepts using causal diagrams. Check out our latest AJE commentary on the evolution of selection bias concept! https://t.co/kQ7Gji5gyj

@swissepi @EpidByDesign @Saamaankh @CristianCarmeli @yudapearl @_MiguelHernan @PopHealthLabCH Great paper! I am so happy to see this being argued/written down, as I HATE how 'selection bias' has become a catch all term for collider biases, even when there is no actual 'selection' taking place.

Is colider stratification bias a type of selection bias⁉️ 🤔 Maybe better to distinguish 1️⃣ colider restriction bias from 2️⃣ colider adjustment bias ✅️ @EpidByDesign @Saamaankh @CristianCarmeli @yudapearl @_MiguelHernan @PopHealthLabCH #causality

@gregggonsalves I am so sorry for your loss, Gregg. Reminiscing about our conversation from May 26th, 2022 about my career path. Your guidance and Luke's present made that day special.

[Haidong Lu @LuHaidong]

@robertwplatt Totally true!

[Haidong Lu @LuHaidong]

Recently, it has been immensely gratifying to learn that people have found our work to be useful, and have integrated it into their course reading materials or lecture notes. This is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences.

@LuHaidong @gregggonsalves @nondogmatist @EpidByDesign Gotta say, I absolutely loved "Toward a Clearer Definition of Selection Bias...".

After reading, I promptly changed my selection bias lecture and notes to introduce your thinking and framework! 👏

[Haidong Lu @LuHaidong]

@EpidByDesign @gregggonsalves @nondogmatist Thank you, Daniel! Super luck to have the opportunities to work with you in the past, present, and future.
