Our new study is out today in @jamanetworkopen.com!
We looked at trends in biologic drug prices after biosimilar competition.
Key takeaways: savings from biosimilars are substantial, but take longer to accrue than commonly seen with generic small molecules.

What's the meaning? 🤔
It's probably an unpopular opinion, but the more I do research, the more I realize that it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to do transparent and reproducible research without strong programming skills.
Will the recordings be available on YouTube after the event?
I am trying to access the newest version of
@miguelhernan.bsky.social 's Causal Inference What If book, but it seems that Harvard's SPH website no longer shows it.
Any idea how to get to the old page?

Is there an advantage to go deep into rust compared to C++ for the R user?

I've never, personally, had any direct utility from traditional academic peer review for my scientific work.
I've never used that peer review as any kind of signal or credential in judging a paper or deciding whether to read it.
Nearly all the papers I read are preprints.
I think it would be easier to use dput()

This reminds me of days navigating why I have a much smaller sample size while building a cohort for my study. It turns out that Excel removes leading zeroes in MRNs, and many patients can not be linked. Ironically, ppl out there might accuse you of complicating things when you use R
For the 2nd equation to work, you assume some kind of equal confounding i.e.
Somehow A <- U -> Y has the same direction and magnitude to A <- U -> W
Correct?
So the goal of the first equation to kind of isolate the association presented in the DAG as A <- U -> W then using it. This is why you put Z. Otherwise, your association would capture the path A <- Z -> U -> W too. Did I get it?
