Abstract:

We often rely on convenience samples and otherwise incompletely collected experimental data. This raises questions about the relevance of the sample to 'real world' populations. The extent of selection bias and correctness of our models and other assumptions impact the quality of our statistical conclusions. Flexible models and relevant diagnostic procedures that take advantage of multiple data sources can improve inferential reliability.
