@ildiazm @ADAlthousePhD @Lach_cribb I agree. It is not a substitute for evaluating robustness to assumptions.

So proud of @amoafo_linda, who did an amazing job presenting and defending her PhD dissertation. Honored to have been part of her thesis committee. #BiostatsElevated

[Daniel Scharfstein @dscharf3]

It was wonderful to have Joe Hogan @jwhogan42 from @BrownBiostats visit us @UofUBiostats. #BiostatsElevated

@ildiazm I am not as familiar with the history of science as you. Can you point me to the many tools for falsifiability beyond experiments? Also, I think it may be a block of salt not just a grain.

[Daniel Scharfstein @dscharf3]

@ildiazm Why should I believe that this model represents reality somewhat accurately? Should mediation papers that report natural direct and indirect effects discuss the reality of this model?

[Daniel Scharfstein @dscharf3]

@ildiazm Thanks @ildiazm!! I will reply to specific points in your thread.

[Daniel Scharfstein @dscharf3]

@ildiazm I have always been uncomfortable with natural direct and indirect effects and the assumptions required for identification. Can you explain how you think about these from your nature viewpoint?

[Daniel Scharfstein @dscharf3]

Excited to share my latest paper with @amoafo_linda and Elizabeth Platz; it develops a sensitivity analysis tool for evaluating the influence of unmeasured confounding in observational studies with time-to-event outcomes https://t.co/zJ4lB7qtvE
