Regular reminder that we basically just make up what gets designated 'lower' and 'higher' order terms in regression models.

This paper isn't constructive but is fun. Don't rely on the marginality principle!

The marginality principle revisited: Should “higher‐order” terms always be accompanied by “lower‐order” terms in regression analyses?
The marginality principle guides analysts to avoid omitting lower-order terms from models in which higher-order terms are included as covariates. Lower-order terms are viewed as “marginal” to higher-...

I did a calculation a few months ago and the federal government has invested 70+B dollars in biomarker discovery most of which fails to yield actionable insights. This is well after David Rasnahoff warned everyone of the challenges in the science of biomarker validation starting 2007.
Predict != Usefully Predict.

I'll bet that in the next 3 years we'll have a few hundred papers on micobiome + machine learning to predict long covid + some cluster analysis, and zero of them will lead to clinically useful insights.

1980年代から始まったTreg研究の歴史と、その中で免疫学コミュニティーに蔓延していく「病」がどのような影響を与えていったのか、そして私自身の研究がどのようにこの問題に対応してきたかについて書きます
