Words like 'bad idea', 'not good', and references to authoritative papers highlight the critical and impactful tone of the discussions.

AgreementStrong agreement

Most discussions strongly concur with the article, emphasizing that traditional variable selection methods like univariate screening are often problematic and should be avoided.

InterestHigh interest

Participants demonstrate high interest by referencing multiple detailed papers, formulas, and sharing insights about the myths surrounding variable selection.

EngagementHigh engagement

There is deep engagement evidenced by referencing specific studies, debating methodological nuances, and sharing personal opinions on best practices.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussions have high impact as they seem to influence research practices, with many advocating for rethinking standard variable selection strategies in applied research.

Abstract in brief

  • Variable selection in multivariable regression models is popular in transplantation research but can actually complicate analysis by invalidating key statistical tools like P-values and confidence intervals, especially when sample sizes are small or moderate.
  • There are five common myths about variable selection that often lead to its inappropriate use; understanding these misconceptions can help researchers avoid pitfalls.
  • Using expert knowledge instead of relying solely on statistical variable selection methods can often prevent issues, making the analysis more accurate and easier to interpret in transplantation studies.

1) As a precursor to multivariable analyses, the associations between each individual covariate and outcome are often "screened" for significance. Often does more harm than good, so don't bother doing or worry about it https://t.co/fR6fN2HkeM

Given the interim results and questions, I think it is worthwhile to point out that univariate screening is best *avoided* for nearly all applications imaginable, e.g. see: https://t.co/qJiQHkvKOH https://t.co/AZ2CjbllVH https://t.co/mznJoAWzi2

@Georg__Heinze, just read your Review. Which is preferable? 1) full model, remove all insignificant predictors (sequentially or all at once? which cut-off?) until only significant predictors are left 2) full model and select predictors using P < 0.157 https://t.co/feIAwn6J4A

Re your q’s: 1. p<0.2 for univariate and 0.05 for mva. I don’t think there is a strict rule of p value for variable selection - see myth 5 here - https://t.co/h78KQ8gK5A 2. NLR and ANC were not included together. Table 3 in poster shows me testing both ANC and NLR.
