Models can be powerful tools to study associations in data. But do they reliably reveal the truth? π¨ In our new study,
@danlarremore.bsky.social
and I show that the model used to estimate VE from test-negative designs (TNDs) may not translate to other correlates of risk.

Statistical methods for estimating the protective effects of immune markers using test-negative designs
Abstract. While widely used to study vaccine effectiveness, test-negative designs (TNDs) also provide a platform for identifying and quantifying immunologi

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field? That's what
