At #CCR25, we saw some trials use a #CompositeOutcome (an endpoint that combines more than one outcome into a single measure) & also saw some of the problems these can throw up. I have discussed these before but thought it would be useful to revisit 1/9 #MethodologyMonday #120

This is a great paper by Mitsuru Igami framing breakthrough AI algorithms in the familiar logic of structural economic model estimation. doi.org/10.1093/ectj... But by implication, if structural models behave like board games, such as Chess and Go, how high can their degree of realism really be?

I just wish this cartoon I drew 10+ years ago wasn't so relevant today...

Cartoon titled "Vaccination: It works" A group of stick figures stands in the rain holding umbrellas. The rain is blocked from the figures. One of the figures is standing under the umbrellas, not holding an umbrella saying "Hey guys- I don't even feel any rain. Why are we doing this again? Just put down the stupid umbrellas - they're bad for your arms anyway."
