An insightful article. Yet, many tend to equate selection bias, or "nonrepresentativeness," with collider bias, as seen in this article. Let's not overlook another key (and maybe more important) source: Type 2 selection bias, which involves effect modification. #EpiTwitter

Recently, it has been immensely gratifying to learn that people have found our work to be useful, and have integrated it into their course reading materials or lecture notes. This is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences.

Is colider stratification bias a type of selection bias⁉️ 🤔 Maybe better to distinguish 1️⃣ colider restriction bias from 2️⃣ colider adjustment bias ✅️ @epidbydesign.bsky.social Dr Saman Khalatbari-Soltani Cristian CARMELI Judea Pearl Miguel Hernán #PopHealthLab #causality academic.oup.com/aje/article-ab…

Arnaud Chiolero @epidbydesign.bsky.social Dr Saman Khalatbari-Soltani Cristian CARMELI Judea Pearl Miguel Hernán #PopHealthLab Great paper! I am so happy to see this being argued/written down, as I HATE how 'selection bias' has become a catch all term for collider biases, even when there is no actual 'selection' taking place.

Selection bias is selection bias. Confounding is confounding. Epidemiologists have done an excellent job distinguishing these two concepts using causal diagrams. Check out our latest AJE commentary on the evolution of selection bias concept! academic.oup.com/aje/article-ab…
