"After controlling for problems of endogeneity, heteroscedasticity, and inconsistency, the interpretation of our robust estimates goes beyond claiming mere correlations or associations."

- barbegal 6y agoYeah it doesn't look like they consulted a statistician when doing this research. It always amazes me how a paper like this can be 90% statistics based but non of the authors are statisticians. Without the proper statistical analysis it just becomes a paper on how highly cited papers get downloaded from Sci-Hub which isn't very interesting.
