Whether or not that's an incredible effect size sort of depends. For infectious disease epidemiology, which regularly sees extremely strong effects because of the very short causal chain between an infection and an outcome, it's not all that extraordinary.
- ncmncm 4y agoIt is an effect size that commands legitimate and substantial attention. It indicts everyone still huddled around the amyloid lamppost.
- Fomite 4y agoAgreed. I've just also seen "That's a huge effect size" as a way to dismiss observational results as probably wrong, and so felt it should be noted that for things with infectious etiologies this is impressive but not particularly outlandish (vs. say environmental epidemiology, where an effect size of this magnitude would mean congressional hearings).
