Analysis of Potential Biases and Validity of Studies Using Multiverse Approaches to Assess the Impacts of Government Responses to Epidemics

We analyze the methodological approach and validity of interpretation of using national-level time-series regression analyses relating epidemic outcomes to policies that estimate many models involving permutations of analytic choices (i.e., a "multiverse" approach). Specifically, we evaluate the possible biases and pitfalls of interpretation of a multiverse approach to the context... Show more
