Too many broadly useful stats methods are masked in domain-specific language. In my new pair of posts, I discuss formula-free #causalinference design patterns to help data analysts recognize frameworks as they encounter them in everyday work

I don't rehash the finer details; for that my resource round-up post catalogues the plethora of amazing books freely available from @_MiguelHernan @causalinf @CasualBrady @nickchk and more

Instead, I simply focus on the bare-bones frameworks. While econ and epi Twitter talk about CI nonstop, I'm struck by how underutilized some of the basics are in industry where we have rich high-dimensional panel data, well-defined but non-random treatment mechanism, etc

Cut an #rstats scripts runtime from 2+ hours to <5 minutes and feel extremely powerful (even though arguably the first version was just bad code)

Don’t know who needs this but a few random tips below. Easy once you’ve heard them but often outside of intro content 👇🏻
Run iterations in parallel! If you’re using {purrr} this is *ridiculously* easy with @dvaughan32 ‘s {furrr}

You truly just add ‘future_’ prefixes to map functions
Remove anything from the iteration that can be done outside including data preprocessing (eg type conversion) or post processing (eg normalizing everything by the same constant)
