Most likely this is due to a rapidly changing age distribution in Sweden. It seems, probably mainly due to immigration, that the population of ages 20-60 have increased significantly since 2010, while the population of ages 60+ have increas

But that's not at all what OP answered. Rather that it could be gainful for the owners of the factory to give out part of its produce to provide stability and hence protect the factory.

The countries have significantly different lifespans and normal mortality, because of health care systems, age distribution, culture, genes etc. It doesn't really give anything sensible when you compare unadjusted total mortality per c

As far as I know the age distribution of covid-19 related deaths have been exactly the same in Sweden as other countries (+/- some standard deviation) Do you have data to demonstrate that the age distribution is different?

Of course it's possible. Flu and basically all other airway-transmissible diseases always mostly disappear during the summer months in Sweden. Now to see if infection rates can be kept low when autumn comes.

That self-selection for living and organizing with kindred is something that also happens in the absence of extreme power disparity.

I don't see anybody except you conflate natural and ethical. So the cubans now live side by side with mexicans? And both they and mexicans/south americans self-identify as hispanics/latinx and not cubans, mexicans or somethin

Pray, tell. Why would these repressed Cubans not live together with hispanics, in hispanic ghettos. Speaking the same language and all. After all, that would make them a stronger force, and definitely give them more diversity.

Why did you not mention African history? In this respect, it's certainly not less "racist" than any other continent's history. If you by racism means tribal or national sentiment to live together with others from the sam

So all of these groups choose to live in separate neighborhoods, because they all are racist to each other? Not because they want to be around people that are similar to themselves? And the fact that the same pattern shows up basically ever

The reason for the low cutoff is to correct for multiple hypothesis testing. Any what do you mean by "opposite of how p-values work"? Obviously if P(data or more extreme|null hypothesis) = 10^-8 it's significantly less likely
282.
by zosima 6y ago
Why would you think that? A p-value of 1.4e-8 is significant enough when there is a prior hypothesis. And the odds-ratio looks normal too.

Christer Andersson, the man identified as GH in the wikipedia article is imho just as likely, if not more so, compared to the Skandiaman. 1. He lived in the vicinity of the murder scene 2. He fits the description given by many witnesses ext

Probably just more people getting tested, finally. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Again I think we are getting into semantics, where there's no reason to not be clear. If you make R < 1 you are in fact suppressing the disease. However slowly. If you are keeping R around 1 or above, you are mitigating. https:&#x2

A large part of this confusion has been caused by Tegnell and folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM). Tegnell and folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM) have clarified their strategy as: Keep the number of infected people down at any one time to not overwhelm the

This is Johan Giesecke, a former state epidemiologist (Tegnell is the current state epidemiologist), who has been working closely with Tegnell on the epidemic. He apparently billed Folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM) for some of his interviews, as h

A lot of people have been talking about herd immunity, but FHM has been quite clear from the start that they don’t think herd immunity will make Corona go away. You are quite simply wrong. Here is an interview with Anders

Giesecke had Tegnell's job (State Epidemiologist) 15 years ago. He claims to have recruited both Tegnell and Tegnell's boss Johan Carlson to folkhälsomyndigheten. (FHM) He has furthermore been a paid consultant for FHM for many mo

This is simply not true. Both Johan Giesecke (a consultant for Folkhälsomyndigheten, which is Tegnell's workplace) and Anders Tegnell has repeatedly been saying, that modelling suggests, herd immunity will occur in may. Along with many

I have been following the situation in Sweden closely. As far as I can see, calling Tegnell a scientist is incorrect. He may have a Ph.D but does decisively not behave scientifically. Instead he should should be called a bureaucrat, which m

But why not make the data as unbiased as possible? Why not show total cost for weather events as a percentage of GDP? Or if only large-scale catastrophes have increased, the distribution of weather events? Or maybe the percentage of houses

by zosima 7y ago
Well, if you want to know the total economic loss due to weather, you might also want to e.g. include $900 million events. If you want to know whether there is more disastrous weather in general, you probably don't want to completely i

FDA usually puts some quite strict limits on the amount of p-hacking and general shenanigans they allow in clinical trials. But there's no approval yet, and no data to look at, so it's too early to judge. Anyway, usually Alzheimer

Each person has to roll their die a number approaching infinity times, then the reported means will be normally distributed. Now you will almost always get something quite indistinguishable from normal with n=50 throws, but not with n=1. If

by zosima 7y ago
As the number of samples approach infinity the mean of all the iid samples will become normally distributed. So it will neither hold strictly for n=50 or n=1, but n=50 may be a better approximation of infinity :)
