Domain-specific

• Cohort Effect
  • Because \(a\), \(p\), and \(c\) are deterministically related, a fitted cohort term is not automatically a uniquely identified causal parameter

    This sourceGlenn's argument that a solution to the identification problem requiring no assumptions is a futile quest, so a fitted cohort coefficient reflects the constraint imposed rather than an identified effect.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
