#correlation without #causation via #ColliderBias

a spurious relationship between the dependent (Y) & independent (X) variable can occur, when each effect a 3rd variable (C, #collider), and this 3rd is included in the linear model lm(Y~X+C) 🤔

Time for an #introduction.

I'm a cellist turned sociologist, researching #openscience as part of the Open and Reproducible Research Group (https://orrg.eu) in Graz.
My main research interests are #openaccess and #reproducibility of research, as well as expanding my methodological toolbox with #Stan and #CausalModelling.

I'm part of the #TwitterMigration and the social experiment proposed by @briannosek on actually moving academic twitter over to the fediverse.
