Sanity-check an analysis before I share it
Catches the mistakes that survive to the slide deck.
Here is an analysis I'm about to share. Try to break it. Check for: - Survivorship and selection bias in how the data was collected. - Confounders that would explain the result more simply. - Whether the sample supports the confidence being claimed. - Denominator and time-window problems. - Anywhere correlation is being read as causation. For each issue, say how much it would change the conclusion if true. If the analysis holds up, say so. ANALYSIS: [PASTE ANALYSIS]
