@RikEekelen @bwmol It may sometimes make sense to use an index, or ratio of two variables, if it represents a biological concept that is not directly observable. Thinking of Free Androgen Index (FAI)

@analisereal @clwatsonecon @causalinf I think the problem is that someone who has causal or functional knowledge on the problem at hand, wants to check whether the results are in accordance with that knowledge. The ‘shape of the expectation function’ will be needed in that respect.

Editorial: Referees have the right to view the data and code that underlie a work if it would help in the evaluation, even if these have not been provided with the submission. Few referees exercise this right. They should do so. https://t.co/JJFAQpjo8Y

My mate has two tickets for the England vs Sweden game on Saturday. He didn't realise that it's going to be on the same day as his wedding, so he can't go. If you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St. Andrew's Church in Cambridge and her name is Sarah
