Useful interactive! But I'd say it's not clear you'd want to adjust for these if looking at the causal effect of income... presumably they are at least partially affected by income.

Trying out Svelte for the first time here btw, really like it so far. Not sure why I didn't switch years ago.

1/2 Good job spreading the word. I find it really difficult, almost impossible, to justify using conditional estimates for purely descriptive goals without using the notion of counterfactual dependence, which arguably changes the goal from description to CI.

Excellent post and nice summary at the end! The plot in the GIF is particularly nice.

I wish I'd had access to this blog post the last time I wrote a review! Would have definitely linked it to the authors who wanted to test associational hypotheses using heavily adjusted regressions.
