@c3K @ryancbriggs @DrEmmaZang @AdamBerinsky this was poorly stated - what I mean is that this information is NOT required to be "included in the text or footnotes of the manuscript and in the Author Questionnaire at submission"

[Ben Fifield @ben_fifield]

@ryancbriggs @DrEmmaZang @AdamBerinsky I also believe this is more stringent than what is required for statistical software usage (eg R/stata version numbers, package versions and date of use). Not that it's a bad idea in isolation, but it is a step change in record-keeping requirements that imposes new burdens

@Apoorva__Lal First 10 minutes of the Rubin interview are Tibshirani, Rubin, and Brad Efron telling stories about their journal rejections

[Ben Fifield @ben_fifield]

@Apoorva__Lal Another fun set of historical material - Rob Tibshirani hosting short interviews with Rubin, Vovk, Robins, etc as part of a reading course he's leading https://t.co/rpkD8ZCBPl

@Chris_T_Kenny @matt_blackwell This looks really nice - the one thing to consider adding is how to use the command line effectively, like how Dirk Eddelbuettel structures his https://t.co/xJ7RjqLmzJ

❓Do perceptions of migrants’ politics affect their reception? @ProfTortuga, @MigrationNerd & @yangyang_zhou leverage a case in which migrants come from a similar language and religious background to isolate the role of political perceptions. @The_JOP⬇️ https://t.co/C7FyqgDpOe

@JohnGBullock @seanjtaylor @StefanWager chapters on policy learning, adaptive experiments, HTE estimation, balancing weights, deep treatment on spillovers etc all stand out as new in having full book chapter treatment

[Ben Fifield @ben_fifield]

@JohnGBullock @seanjtaylor @StefanWager this looks pretty differentiated from e.g. mostly harmless and its descendents like mixtape (econometrics heavy), imbens/rubin (potential outcomes upfront, no ml + CI, little longitudinal CI) or hernan/robins (biostats, DAGs, longitudinal obs ci).

[Ben Fifield @ben_fifield]

@seanjtaylor @StefanWager the bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter are great mini intellectual histories. this looks excellent
