It seems like building stats consensus on analysis pipelines for given study designs could be very worthwhile. Still surprised there's no declarative statistical programming language to analyze RCTs with code like "Maximize primary outcome, control age, account for attrition." Of course, written this way it sounds extremely naive—well how do you account for attrition? But, of course, people analyze data this way all the time, just with more verbose code. And that's the point of declarative programming: focus on what you want rather than how to get it. (Also, not sure what the HN norms are, but to avoiding self-plagarization, note this is cross-posted from my twitter account.)
