  • The probability of a robust inference for internal validity

    Open AccessTenglong Li, K A Frank et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2022References: 40

    The internal validity of observational study is often subject to debate. In this study, we define the counterfactuals as the unobserved sample and intend to quantify its relationship with the null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST). We propose the probability of a robust inference for internal validity, that is, the PIV, as a robustness index of causal inference. Formally, the PIV is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis again based…

  • Network Location and Policy‐Oriented Behavior

    Open AccessK A Frank, Ken Frank et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal2012Cited by: 10References: 44

    This study explores how a scientist's location in science‐based policy networks can affect her policy‐oriented behaviors. In particular, we hypothesize that those scientists who fill structural holes in their networks will be more likely than others to engage in policy‐oriented behaviors. The network data are defined by scientists' coauthorship on policy documents regarding climate change in the Great Lakes. We employ a two‐mode network analysis …
