My textbook with Kosuke Imai (@Harvard) is finally out!
Assuming no prior knowledge of statistics or coding and only minimal knowledge of math, DSS teaches the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference + how to analyze real-world data with R.

2/n: We wrote DSS so that anyone could learn the skills we teach by following along with the exercises in the book on their own computer, without the help of an instructor. (Everything needed is either in the book or on the book's website.) #rstats #surveys #prediction #causality
I’m so excited! Past couple years, I’ve wanted to sit down & structurally* deconstuct Roland Fryer’s 2019 paper on racial difs in police use of force to use as a teaching example** re: #colliderbias. Alas life got in the way...1/

#ColliderBias^ is rampant in US disparities research that uses admin data like hospital claims, police records. Almost all non-random samples will differentially select by race & other imp factors
